This is my layout....

I was inspired by the circles & elements in the sketch & created different types of them all over my page. The last image of all the shortbread reminded me of home & my family, which led me to use this crazy-fun photo of us all together!

This month our merit winner will receive this huge prize pack from Green Tara!

Green Tara are an Australian based company & are importers & wholesalers of fine handmade & milled mulberry papers,beautiful ribbons, fabric flowers, washi tape, etc. They are continually adding to their collections of high quality products & provide papers with rich colours, wonderful textures & beautiful patterns.

Their growing business has provided work to many villagers in the area where the paper is made. Mulberry paper (or saa paper as it is called in Thailand) is made from the bark of the mulberry tree, which peels from the trunk of the tree at the end of each rainy season, making it an ecologically friendly product, as no trees are cut down in the process!

The bark is pulped & spread onto large racks to dry then used to make numerous products, including the Green Tara petals & flowers - which are all hand made. Their riibbons are made from the finest quality fabrics available & their already extensive range is continually growing. The latest Green Tara product is Washi Tape.

2nd place will receive paper collection 'Special Moments' from Polish company Studio 75!
