Sunday's Scribblings !  

Well... a warm welcome to you this chilly month of November!

Good for us Scrapbookers though...eh? All those pesky flowers have stopped growing and all the butterflies have gone to sleep... so no reason to be doing anything other than shutting ourselves indoors to scrap, LOL!

Well the sun (you remember - that ball of hot stuff that used to shine during the daytime!) kept us outside during the summer, doing "outdoor" stuff, well now we have the photos, and the long, dark nights are the perfect excuse for a frenzy of cutting and sticking (a scene from the film Edward Scissorhands came to mind then!).

So the articles this month should help you to make the most of your precious time by making your own kits, help with the economics of printing your own photos at home and most importantly giving you some ideas to get your beautiful layouts out of the album sleeves and up on display.

The Review is a book from the Making Memories stable and I can recommend it, mostly for beginners and intermediate scrapbookers.

Regarding the new Sketch and Challenge for November... I am trying to design more sketches (and pages in general) which are multiphoto... let's pack more photos onto our pages!

Freebie Frenzy... Well done to Denyze in the UK for winning last month's mini album kit. Have a look below for the kit on offer for November. Keep your eye open for the Freebie Alert email... post a comment on my blog within 24hrs of the email and you're in with a chance to win! And there is usually a RAK for one of the commentors too!

And do visit the Credits page (link beside contents list above) as this is where you can find out about the (mostly) freebie digital elements used for the graphics in each SSN.com Newsletter.

So... stay warm and I hope you enjoy this month's Newsletter. Here's to your Crafting Success
