Chinese Whispers

Hi,

Well I have just completed my layout for the Chinese Whispers scrapping challenge over at http://www.scrapbooking4less.com.au/ .....off you go and have a look, it's fun!! The idea is, you get a list of people, then the first person starts creating a layout, then the next person in line takes four elements {colour, design, papers, title, embellies, number of photos etc} from that layout and makes a layout, also adding more elements and then it continues down the list. So here is my layout.

I just love pink and brown together and I also love this photo of me as a little girl with my mum and grandma. I don't really know where my design for this layout came from...deep within my brain somewhere LOL....but I'm pretty happy with it :)

My latest project {I was doing cards in June} for http://wechallengeyou.blogspot.com/ are on the blog so go check things out....and even better, get involved and have a go at the challenges, you may even WIN!!! Here are my cards

Thanks for visiting, have a great day :)

WOO HOO - Guess Who Scrapped!!??

Well as you can see, it doesnt take much to get me excited :) I finally had a chance to get some scrapping done!! Yippee!! I did my June Challenge for http://wechallengeyou.blogspot.com/ They will be up on the blog soon {the 20th I think} so check it out. The girls have done some amazing things this month...and make sure you take up the challenges!!



I also did 2 yes count them...1....2...layouts for the http://scrapbooking4less.com.au/ Cybercrop on the long weekend, here are my layouts. The 'Having Fun Being U' layout had the colour theme of red, white and blue. The 'Bondi' layout was from a sketch and had to be done in green and gold. I probably would never have chosen either of these colour schemes, but overall, I am pretty happy with my layouts. So head over to http://scrapbooking4less.com.au/ and check out everyones wonderful work!!

I still have to show some of the ATCs that I have been making for the swap at http://scrapbooking4less.com.au/, I am having heaps of fun making theses cute little things. I will get some pics and upload soon :) I'm hoping for more scrapping tonight *fingers crossed* hope you are getting lots of creations made ;)

Have a great day

So Sad...it's been a scrap-free zone!

Hi,

Well just thought I would send out a hello even though I haven't got any recent scrapping to share. The past few weeks in our household have been just yuk!! We have all been sick and the kids have been the worst. Our daughter was in hospital for a week so the scrapping has been non-existent....so sad!

I am desperate to scrap and hopefully *fingers crossed* I can get into some this week...i need to scrap!! ;)

Although I haven't got any recently finished projects to share I thought I would just upload a couple of past OTP.

The altered notebook I made for a swap over at Scrapbooking4Less. And the little wooden container is for my daughter's hair ties and clips.

Well that's it for today, take care and hopefully I will have lots to share soon :)

Here are mine for the May challenges - I was assigned to OTP

Well I have been busy finishing off the layouts for Scraptacular - round 4 over @ http://www.scrapbooking4less.com.au/ . We had to create 3 layouts -

one inspired by Kerrin Quall - who does the most amazing hand stitching on her layouts! Her work is absolutely beautiful. "Photo Shoot 1976" is my Kerrin Quall inspired layout.

one inspired by Marah Johnson - I find Marah's work to be very rich with an almost old world charm/feel {but hey that could be just me} so that is how i have scrapped my layout inspired by her work.

and one of our own style - which I think is quite simple, with clean lines. Generally in 8.4x11 and mostly with 1 photo. I love to add bling and when I journal I tend to write as if I am talking to the subject in the photo.

The competition is fierce, the other 2 girls are extremely talented!!

Well, that is it for today, have a great afternoon

National Scrapbooking Day
Here is a note from our major sponsor AllcraftzHi again everyone...In the US this month it is NATIONAL SCRAPBOOKING MONTH and today is National Scrapbooking day. I think the concept is brilliant and mentioned to one of my wonderful suppliers that they should make it INTERnational instead of just National... and I've decided I am going to do just that.Whether it stays in the Allcraftz For You community group, or spreads Australia Wide (hopefully).

I declare that the first Saturday in June, the 7th, will be our National Scrapbooking Day!On the day we will have games, prizes, fun, laughs and some awsome events... challenges, excitement, exclusive secret offers and MORE. A percentage of all profits on the day will go to a fantastic charity too!Tell everyone!!! Let's see if we can get EVERY store in Australia claiming the date too and make it Australia's National Scrapbooking day instead of just the Allcraftz one.Ohhhh fun- here we come!!!I challenge ALL scrapbookers to make this a memorable event where-ever you are in Australia. Tell your local store, the other online stores you visit, your friends, EVERYONE. Let's make it bigger and better than any other Scrapbooking event and set the standard for every year to come.We can do this!Thanks everyone for participating in the store-wide sale today too.
Cheers!~E~www.allcraftz.com.au
