The seven deadly sins, also known as the capital vices or cardinal sins, are a classification of vices that were originally used in early Christian teachings to educate and instruct followers concerning (immoral) fallen man's tendency to sin. Listed in the same order used by both Pope Gregory the Great in the 6th Century AD, and later by Dante Alighieri in his epic poem The Divine Comedy, the seven deadly sins are as follows: Luxuria (extravagance, later lust), Gula (gluttony), Avaritia (greed), Acedia (sloth), Ira (wrath, more commonly known as anger), Invidia (envy), and Superbia (pride).
This week's Scrapwest theme is the Seven Deadly Sins - Choose One (thanks Audrey) and what better way to introduce our newest member of Scrapwest -the talented Crafty Kate. She has been our most dedicated fan since we started almost a year ago so we are delighted to have her on board.
Many thanks also to Fiona who joined in by sending her gorgeous "Pride" layout.
Please join in with the weekly themes by leaving a link to your work in the comments section. Next week's theme is 'Going Dotty'.

Fabulous colours in Audrey's - I always loved peacocks. And Caroline's one made me smile - and embarassingly I could identify with Ruth's - there is some old cine footage of me I prefer not to remember :-)
