Let the celebration begin!!! Week 45 and we're going to try something a little different. This week we are celebrating BLOGS! All day today (friday) and into the evening this post will be updated with links to the blogs of those who want to celebrate along with us.

We want to share inspiration, techniques or why we love being creative bloggers and you may even find a few freebies too!!!!

I will be checking in and posting up links to your blog through out the day. Feel free to copy and save the Scrap West Blog Celebration logo to post on your blog too.

Ok, so let the celebration begin.....

Kicking us off is Audrey sharing what inspires her, a sketch by Susie Costanza. Check out her gorgeous LO and the fab freebie she is giving to one lucky winner.

#43 WallArt

This week's theme is called WallArt and was chosen by Carrie.  Do you ever make a scrapbook layout or card and think it looks too good to hide in an album or inside an envelope?  Then why not adapt it and hang it on your wall.  The real beauty of creating a piece of WallArt is that you can be as generous as you like with your embellishments and don't have to worry about them fitting inside a page protector.

This week we've been lucky enough to be joined by Kate and Rachel.  Many thanks to you both for joining in.  Don't forget if you'd like to join us please leave a link to your WallArt in your comments.

Next week's theme is "Memorable Moment" and if you feel like joining in just send your creation to workshops@thescrapbookstore.ie - go on, we'd love to see your work!!
