My Guest Designer for Flashback Friday is Pam:

My name is Pam, and I've been a crafter all my life. I got into paper crafts about 10 years ago. It was slow going for the first few years, as my techniques came from only magazines. Didn't know the web had so many resorces until a year or so ago! I love browsing the web and blogs and seeing all the other paper crafters out there! I am inspired by so many! I don't have a certain style, I just go with what is pleasing to me that day! I look forward to learning new techniques, and enjoy having monthly workshops at my home!

Make sure you check out Pam's blog:

Crazy Stamper

So, Pam picked a fabulous challenge:

 First Tag

Here's Pam's tag:

Such an adorable tree...love the glitz too!  Make sure you pop over to Pam's blog for all the deets!

Here's mine:

For the peeps that have been following me for awhile, you'll remember I was in a big chandelier phase...I still have all the stamps...This post is circa June 2008.  Ugh, the photography needs a bit of help...I still LOVE that ribbon I used...It's all gone...boooo hoooo.

Part 2 of Feature Friday and a Winner!!!!!

Hello and Welcome back to Flashback Friday!!!!  I meant to pop in last night but well, didn't, so I'm combining some Featured Cards along with the winner.

First off, a ginormous WOOT WOOT to:

Jenny Johns!!!!!

My Flashback Friday 15.0 Sponsor!!!!

This lovely {ippity} set will go to the random.org winner of Flashback Friday 15.0!

I also wanted to thank my oh-so-wonderfully-talented Flashback Friday 15.0 Guest Designer!!!

Els!!!!

I've been a long time fan of Els' blog and was absolutely THRILLED to read this about her:

I KNOW...she made the Basic Grey Design Team!!!!!!!!  Yahoooooooooooooo Els!!!!!

Els picked such a great challenge, I think that everyone had so much fun looking back to find their first Fall card.  Here are a couple more that I wanted to feature yesterday:

Bernice linked up this CUTE Halloween card:

Darling images!!!  They are by Karber Digital Images which is a company that Bernice co-created!  Fun thing is, you can also buy her images at Sparkle Creations Store which was my Flashback Friday 6.0 Sponsor!

Erin shared this card with us:

Classic elegance...clean & crisp!

Check out Toni's fall beauty...

Masking and Scoring....a delish combo!

Here's Merry's fun card!

Check out this interesting trivia from Merry:

 I don't normally do cards by season as here in tropical northern Australia we have a Wet Season and a Dry Season.  Apr to Sep is cooler than the remainder of the year which is hot and humid.

Thanks to EVERYBODY that played along with us for this challenge.  I hope that you enjoyed yourself as much as I did.  I know that some of you 'cringed' to be featured on the Flashback Friday blog :) but it is all about seeing your growth and the changes that go along with it...  I'm always amazed when I see similarities in my style from long ago and it seems that a common comment is the lack of photog skills..LOL..personally, I still struggle with that:)

I know, I know...get on with it woman!

Okay, so I use random.org to pick the winner.  The winner of Flashback Friday 15.0 will win:

1.  {ippity} Life's Little Moments set!

2.  Guest Designer of Flashback Friday 16.0!

3. Pick the Challenge for Flashback Friday 16.0!

The lucky duck is:

Pam L!!!!!!
