Scrapping again, and winning

My scrapping has not been for pleasure of late, its always been business related, so at the beginning of the month when I noticed a Facebook post from Top50 regarding there cyber-crop, I decided to play along - it was more that the challenge grabbed me and I knew just what photo I wanted to scrap straight away.

The Challenge was based on the Roulette wheel and you needed to pick a dominate colour either RED OR BLACK, and include a cluster of embellishments with 1 odd item. 

It was the best part of my weekend dragging out the scrap booking supplies and just creating for me, it was a real pleasure again, and I also think it was a good grief process too.

I chose Red as my dominating colour and got too creating, with lots of inking, distressing.

 Then it was onto my clustering, I knew I wanted to include a poker chip, and yes I raided my son's stash and he so desperately wanted to know if he could have it back. So my one odd thing was the poker chip, which i fitted into a cluster of circles that spelt out wonderful as well.
I really enjoyed my creating, it was nice to be back in the groove and enjoying the process.

A week later I logged into the Top50 forum to check on the winners as Forever Always was the sponsor for one of the challenges - and low and behold I find out I have won a prize too....so so happy so off to shop at Anna's Craft Cupboard for me too.

so happy to be getting my craft on for fun again!!!
