New Year – New Categories!

Hey everyone, Lee here. Welcome to 2010!

Without futher ado, let’s get into our January category shall we?

This month it is “Perfect Fit” and we can’t wait to see what you all do with it!

And we have a couple of awesome extras in January too.

Firstly, please welcome our January Guest – Lexi Bridges!

Lexi is the first of our new batch of Guests from the comp we ran last year.

Lexi blogs at www.lexi-bridges.blogspot.com , and here is a bit of info Lexi has kindly shared with us: I am a lover of Christ, my high school sweetheart, 2 precious boys, the color orange, chocolate, and scrapbooking of course 🙂 I’ve dabbled in all sorts of crafty avenues, but really enjoy the creative process of playing with pretty paper and bits of this & that. I don’t know how I would describe my “style” but I never feel pressured to scrapbook in any order or a certain way. It’s a creative outlet for me and I just go with the flow!

Thanks so much for joining us this month as our Guest Lexi, we totally ADORE your page too!

Secondly, we have another spectacular sponsor – Magpie Club!

Tara has kindly offered up one of her totally GORGEOUS January kits as the prize this month (can I get a HOLLA!).

Here is what is on offer…:

How.Cool.Is.THAT!

REMEMBER: All pages that are linked back to the blog here by Jan 31st are in with a chance to win in the random draw – and in January, as a special bonus if you upload to the Flickr group you’ll get your name in the draw TWICE! All the more reason to get your flickr account up and running and become a member of our photo sharing pool – the link is over in the sidebar there ——->

OK here we go, lets see Lexi’s gorgeous page:

Next up is Danielle:

Sara:

Steph:

So, please share what you create using the category, and remember, we accept ALL creative items using the monthy category – scrapping (digi/paper/hybrid), cards, ATC’s, painting, projects, sewing, knitting, stitching – everyone is welcome!

Hope you all have a wonderful 2010 – from all of the Category Stories team, we hope this year is a magnificent one for you.

Cheers,

Lee
