Let's get to know Jasmine a little better!

"Hello, I'm Jasmine & I am from Melbourne Australia.
I have 4 wonderful children who keep me on my toes & in the car,

 running around after them but I wouldn't have it any other way!

I have a wonderful husband of whom I am very proud, who also

 runs our business.  He makes sure that between kids, school,

 family life, a social life & a scrapping life, I still have the time to do

 some work for the business too LOL!!

 I just love this craft & have been blessed to meet so many fabulous

 women in real life & online as part of many wonderful Design Teams.

  The inspiration from so many talented ladies has helped me grow

 within my work & I thank everyone who supports me.

 This is the most awesome, crafty journey ever!

 If you want to see more of my work, please feel free

 to pop over to my blog - "Jasmine's Scrapvine" ***HERE***."

  Jasmine has used our current mood board for her inspiration!

Ooooh I am loving this original, Festive layout!

Great artsy ink work & loving all the scatterings of teeny embellies...

Stunning & individual layout from Jasmine!

Please leave Jas some comment LOVE if you feel inspired
by her layout to create your own ASAP! I sure do but
I am away at the moment so no creating for me :(

We have AMAZING PRIZES up for grabs again this month
