Not a Goodbye

Hi everyone,

Sorry I missed last months challenge. It looked like a great one. Thanks to everyone for the love and support during my surgery and recovery. It meant the world to me to have you send emails and cards.

It is on a sad note that I show you my last challenge layout.... :( I have truyl enjoyed my time at Out of the Hat and have meet some lovely ladies. Thanks to Amanda for giving me this opportunity to share my scrapping and to the other lovely Mad Hatters, Taryn, Anne, Shazza and Christine, thanks for a great time. I will miss you all but will still join in on challenges. (you can't get rid of me that easy :) )

So here it is ....

Trees - lollypop style

Die Cut Paper - Bracket Shape in background

3 Different size photos - I chose to use the same photo but make it into different sizes

So thanks again for a wonderful time here and I look forward to seeing the new DT and what they create with each challenge.

Love to all

Debbie

Do you want to be the next Mad Hatter??

Well the time has finally come to search for a new team of Mad Hatters!! If you would love to put your name forward for a spot then the process is simple:

• Small bio piece about yourself
• 2 x photos of layouts that are indicative of your own personal style
• a link to your personal blog or an online gallery with your work
• a small paragraph outlining why you think you could be the next Mad Hatter

Pop this all in an email to me outofthehat.amanda@gmail.com before midnight on the 25th of this month. I will choose the new team shortly after and they will be ready to start on their first assignment in December. There are 5 positions available and they will be for a term of 6 months.

Any further questions please feel free to email me at the above addy.

Mad Hatter Shazza's last layout.......

Baby Blue Eyes

I loved the criteria for this challenge, I knew straight away what photos I wanted to use and even the die cut paper. My photos are all different sizes and instead of using one tree (like Anne) I have a small forest....... lol As the die cut paper was not very large I have kept the layout simple and not too busy!
My stint at 'Out of the Hat' is nearly over, I will miss the other ladies on the team, Anne, Christine, Taryn and Debbie, we've had a lot of fun. Proudly we were the first Mad Hatters chosen so I will always remember that :) Thanks to Amanda for my first ever DT position, its made me think out of the square and to meet deadlines!! I will miss you all, the good thing is I will be back next month to play along with the next lot of criteria!

Cheers for now
Shazza
