Mad About Scrappin Cyber Crop Challenge

Challenge 4 for the Mad About Scrappin cyber crop was:

1. A little bit of me – My style is a little bit eclectic and varies, but elements you will see over and over are white/negative space, doodling & distressing, so please include at least two of these elements on your page.

2. A little bit of you – Your page must include a photo of yourself on your page (other people can be in the photo too if you like)

And of course I didnt read the instructions properly so I have done a negative space LO, with a photo of me that includes distressing and doodling. Anyway Im not really any good at negative space LOs, cause I like to pile on heaps of stuff, so Im quite happy with how this turned out. The photo isnt very clear. I used stampin up cream card, little yellow bicycle music paper, bo bunny PP, journalling paper, autumn leaves rub ons, kaiser flowers, kaiser pearls, thickers, kaiser alpha stickers, tag and a wax seal that came on an envelope for a wedding invite.

Mad About Scrappin Cyber Crop Challenge

So the third challenge for the cyber crop was a sketch. This sketch comes from the very talented Becky Fleck who designs all the sketches over at www.pagemaps.com if you are ever stuck for inspiration, go on over and check them all out...there is bound to be something there to inspire. This sketch is an 8.5 x 11 (A4) sketch but I have made it work for my traditional 12 x 12 layout below. You can do whatever size you like....
Im not really good at following sketches. Im happy with how this turned out. I used My Memories PP, cloud 9 design plain pink paper, music paper, lace, ribbon, flowers, Making Memories glitter stickers, Carolee Creation alpha stickers, thickers, heidi swapp circle verse, cant remember the name of the journalling paper.

Mad About Scrappin Cyber Crop Challenge

Over at mad about scrappin they had a cyber crop last weekend. The first challenge was:

The colour combination must be pink white and brown, I want you to scrap about something that you love about scrapbooking - it could be the shopping, the products, flowers, ribbon - For me it is about the fabulous friends I have met and made along the way. In addition you need to include some chipboard and a heart.....


So I did this LO, which I dont like, about how i love flowers. And I have 3 daughters so all my pages are very girly and full of flowers. I put a circle photo of each of my daughters in the big flowers. I used stampin up paper, autumn leaves cream rub on flourish, chipboard wings, stampin up love heart stamp, thickers, ribbon and stampin up flower stamps. This LO was one that looked great in my mind, but didnt turn out how i thought it would

Uproar 2 Scrapmore March Glimmermist Challenge

Over at Uproar 2 Scrapmore there is a challenge for March to create a LO using a mask and glimmermist. I didnt have any glimmermist so I used a few drops of food colouring mixed with water. The LO didnt turn out too bad, but I think the water was a bit too thin. But you can see it in the close up. The LO is about Mia and how confident with her swimming she had gotten, over xmas. Im quite happy with how this turned out.

She (March challenge at Scraptivate)

This is my LO titled 'she' which I did for the March challenge over at www.scraptivate.ning.com

This month's challenge is ..................................



"SHE ... "



Interpret that one as you like and remember you can submit absolutely anything from ATC's to Scrapbook layouts and cards or off the page projects.

So I simply called the LO 'she' and used that title as the beginning of each sentence that i hand wrote under the title. I used Bo Bunny papers, Prima flower vine, pearl ribbon, heidi swapp mirror bird, metal key charm, Basic Grey rub ons, Carolee Creations alpha stickers and thickers. The white background isnt part of this LO.

What? Me drinking Wine?

I used some really old Kaiser papers for this LO, that i think I bought about 2 years ago at the Melbourne Scrapbook Expo. I cut out all the flowers from a piece of Kaiser paper as well. I never used to be a wine drinker, but a friend converted me (damn her :) ) I dont mind how this one turned out, it didnt take me long to do.

Soccer

Ive been meaning to a do a LO on Mackenzie wanting to play soccer, for a while now. She loves having a kick in the backyard. She is looking forward to a new and bigger back yard to have some more room to kick. I used scrap paper again for this one, Papermania journalling pad, cheap flowers from Big W, Kaiser bling, Jolees soccer embellishments and American Craft thickers. Quite happy with how this one turned out, i really like the colours
