Weekend Challenge - Summertime

As Summertime draws to an end (don't worry, the weather man doesn't know what he's doing right now...so if you want Summer to stay a bit longer, it probably will, and if you've had enough, then it's probably long gone!).......

This weekend, I'd like you to scrap a layout about an activity you did or saw this Summer. (Or last Summer, since some of us won't have had many photo opportunities this Summer!)

Here's my sample:

Using up some Echo Park papers from a kit fairly recently and a Paper Inklings Rub on.
Have fun!

Thursday Challenge...

Hellooooooo!

I am still trying to get my head above water... Literally! In between swimming lessons, I have also been stuck in a town with flash flooding, (a new experience for me - driving through flooded waters - with a panicky passenger).  But tomorrow is the final day of swimming lessons for me until December :-( I really do enjoy it!

Anyways my challenge to you today is to use on your layout....

4 patterned paper from different manufacturers
2 complimentary cardstock colours (think colour wheel)
A mixed media title (chipboard, rubons, foam alphas, stamped - just a mixture of them all)
At least 3 photos
6 ribbons
3 flowers (or circle embellishments if doing a boy page)
1 die cut
1 journalling block
3 flourishes
Look forward to seeing your creations..

Tuesday Challenge - Landscape Photos!

Hey everyone, Lee here again, with your Tuesday Challenge.

I'd like to see you scrap at least two Landscape oriented photos - I am sure you all have plenty of those in your happy snap collections!



For my page, I used the beautiful February kit - the gorgeous "Life is Beautiful" border 12x12 piece was perfect for placing some landscape photos (and I would imagine two portrait pics would work just as well in the other orientation!). I have used this kit for so many pages/cards now that it is all but used up - such great value!

I have also put to work the lovely Maya Road tiny Doily stamps and scallop punch, added the Threading Water border punch, and some Carolees tiny alphas to finish off the title - all available in the shop.

Thanks so much for looking, I can't wait to see what you come up with using your landscape photos!

Weekend Challenge

Hi everyone,

My challenge for you is to make a card or layout only using scraps from a designer kit. Doesn't matter what month it was from.

This card is for an engagement we are going to next week. It is all I have left from the Feb kit. Sorry about the scan it was a little lumpy.

I have used a MS border punch.

Ohh dear, my ribbon doesn't look straight here, but is IRL, must have been a bit squashed in the printer...oops...lol.

Have fun.
Marg.

All the items on my page come from the gorgeous February D'luxe Designer Kit. Be quick over to the shop to grab yourself one, I don't think Marg has many left!



I have just added some glimmer mist (grey and blue), and used some punches, including the Martha Stewart doily lace punch, and the Marvy extra large scallop punch (along with my trusty circle punches!).

Thanks for looking!

Tuesdays Challenge

I am making it super easy for you all.....lol....I would like you to use Yellow on your page.
Can be card stock or PP.
Also I would like you to made an embellishment, I have made a flower on mine using TH tattered flowers die, using a scrap of curtain material and an old dress making pattern with some glimmermist.

Guess what ...

woo hoo ... it's Friday and it's time for the weekend and ...

I'm setting the weekend challenge - just saying!

So ... my challenge for you this weekend is to be a little creative with the following colours ...

A little red, a little white and a little pink!

Why those colours?

Well we are only a few weeks out from that special day - you know the one ... St Valentine's Day ... although in saying that, every day should be a 'love' day.

So I would like you to be creative with those colours. 

You can create a layout, an OTP, a card - whatever you like.

My creativity is done and dusted, but it's a little bit late this side of the ditch to be taking photos.  So I will share tomorrow.

Don't forget to upload to the gallery.
Happy creating.
Take care,
Michelle [aka Mrs Frizz]

Tuesday Challenge - Three + Patterned Papers

Hi everyone, today's Tuesday Blog Challenge is to use at least three different patterned papers on your creation.

My layout includes three of the PP's from the January D'luxe Designer Kit "Moonrising".

I used some segments I had left over from other pages I made, which use the SEI "Moonrising" PP's. All elements on the page are from the January Kit.

Your patterned papers can be different coordinating designs from the one company/range, or totally different ranges, it is up to you! Using small segments on a LO is the easiest way to make use of the leftover PP's that come about. You can make a layout, card, project or ATC, whatever you like! Can't wait to see what you make.

Another Cyber crop challenge ...

A few posts down you will see that Marg set a wee challenge - and used black, white and lime green and what a stunning colour combination that is ...

My challenge for the Cyber crop is another black and white challenge and you can add one other colour - any colour you like ... how about orange or lime green or, I know ... hot pink ... now wouldn't that look fab-u-lous.  Purple might be good too.

My colour combination - black, white and teal.

I would also like to see that a punch has been used somewhere, and you will need to throw in a little bling and some ribbon.

Not a tough challenge by any means of the imagination.

So have fun girls ... happy creating!

Cyber Crop Fundraiser Weekend.

Hi everyone,

We are running a funraiser in the shop this weekend to help with the floods in Australia. So we thought why not have a Cyber Crop as well.

Instead of doing vouchers for the crop, I will donate the money instead to the floods. So join in the fun and you will be doing your bit as well. Also 10% of all sales will also be donated.

The girls have put together some challenges to get your Mojo going.

First one is from Lee.

Hey all, my challenge is:


Scrap some Christmas photos! Use at least two photos on your page, as well as at least 20 words of journaling.

My page is made using the December D’luxe Designer Kit. I have used some punches on this including a plain & scallop circles, as well as the Martha Stewart doily lace punch. The open scalloped square was made using my diecut machine & the Spellbinder Nestabilities “Lacy Squares” dies.


Thanks for looking!

Lee

Now one from Rach..

To use the sketch to create a layout. I'd like it to include:
A) some blue (for the floodwaters); and
B) because events this year have been a bit of an eyeopener about how we never know what's around the corner and life's too short...you can use either "Fun" photos, or you should try a product or technique you've never used before.
Have fun!!

Using blue and white c/s; BG PP; some old Kaiser pp; Flower and cork from old kit; Cuttlegub frames, thickers and adornit letters


I got my new camera this week and DH came home with an old picture someone at work was chucking. He thought I could use it to make a collage of photos...but I had a way cooler idea! My kids wouldn't play along and be in the photo but they happily took photos for me.

Mish's Weekend Challenge

Hi girls - still having a blast on holidays...

And a simple challenge for you...


I would like you to use a tv advertisement for inspiration for your layout.

I often look at the Australian Army Advert and love the blocking of their ads, and always think one day I will create a layout using this ad...

So here is your chance to create a layout using an advert from the tv and put it on paper

back to holidays .....

Thursday Challenge

Hi everyone,

I was going to get myselft scrapping for this challenged (shhhh don't tell anyone, but I have not scrapped one page yet this year...oops) but all I managed was a card with a gift box to match...well sort of matched. I was playing around with just some older card to get the right size...then thought why not decorate with scraps from the card. Wish now that I hade made the box in the right colours. But you get the picture.

So my challenge is to scrap a page or make a card or whatever you want to make really using Black, White and Lime Green...yep Lime Green.


Here is my example.
I have used my trusty Cuttlebug with Spellbinder dies on both the card and box.

If anyone wants the measurements for the box..perfect size to put 6 standard cards is as a prezzie, please leave me a message and I will post the size.

Have fun,
Marg.

Using the January kit ...

unfortunately Christmas somehow managed to get in the way of someone you know receiving the CPC January kit ...

I waited  and I waited and I waited ... and then out of the blue ... I heard the courier man pull up the drive. 

It's more than a little exciting when a pizza box is delivered to my doorstep and even more exciting ... when I am actually home to snaffle said pizza box.

And wow, it was worth waiting for ... January's kit is quite simply gorgeous ... full of flowers and die cuts ... fab-u-lous!

And in no time at all I whipped up this layout ...



I see that Marg has had to restock some of the goodies and now has a few more kits available ... don't dilly-dally, get in quick.

Happy creating.

Time for a little more creativity

and a challenge ...

For some reason I seem to be scrapping more multi photo layouts at the moment, not sure why that is ... but it is ... once upon a time, I was definitely a one photo per layout kinda gal ... but not anymore.

So, this challenge, four photos, yes ... I said four photos, so don't all fall off your chairs; [a few years ago though, I would have fallen off my chair and thrown my arms in the air and thought to myself, so NOT a happening thing] - but you can do it, I know you can ... throw in a little hand stitching, a little stamping and some distressing and a multi alpha title ... and you can add whatever else you want into the recipe ...




I've used white cardstock, Basic Grey Wander 6x6 pad, Tim Holtz distress ink - black soot, Adorn it foam alphas, mini alphas and a little embroidery thread.

Marg has a wonderful selection of Basic Grey 6x6 pads in the shop and I find these days that they are truly a 'must have', almost a staple scrapping product for me at the moment.

Don't forget to load your layout in the gallery.

Happy creating.
Later,
Michelle [aka Mrs Frizz]

January "Moonrising" D'luxe Designer Kit - Back in Stock!

This absolutely fabulous kit sold out in the first round, but Marg again has them back in stock - HURRAH!

Be sure to check out the What's New section of the shop under January 14th to grab yourself one if you don't already have it!


Here is another page I made using the kit. The only thing I added was the word "world" using the fabulous Basic Grey 'Basics' mini-mono alpha stickers, and also hitting up the background cardstock with a bit of trusty creme-cocoa glimmer mist, and using an edge distresser on the reverse brown side of the patterned paper.

Thursday Blog Challenge - Twirly Curly and Swirly

I want to see something fabulous and swirly on your creation!

Almost all the items on my LO from the current gorgeous January D'luxe Designer Kit. I have add those cute little kraft coloured alphas which are by Bella and also availabe from CPC.

My swirl is part of the absolutely beautiful Prima "Say it in Pearls" pearl sticker that it included in the kit.

Thanks for looking.

Lee

*PS: All the team at CPC are thinking of our fellow Australians currently in the midst of the horrible natural disaster in Queensland as flood waters continue to wreak havoc, as well as for those in Western Australia who were vicitms of the fires. Our thoughts are with you all. Don't forget there are many ways to donate to victims of the flood disasters, go to www.qld.gov.au/floods/donate.html for more information.

Tuesday's Challenge

Sorry, its a little late...

but you know a when a girl's on holidays you lose track of what day it is...

So my challenge to you - because I am on holidays - is...

To scrap a holiday layout...

Use one of those fun holiday snapshots that you haven't gotten around to scrapping yet... Or take a new photo if you are on holidays...

You must use - 4 patterned papers (because it was my birthday the other day and I have doubled the 4's)
20 mixed alphas (because today I have been married to my wonderful husband for 20 years)
3 large embellishments (because I have 3 adult children)
1 medium embellishment (because we have 1 teen)
1 small embellishment (because we have 1 miniature JR dog)


Have fun - look forward to seeing your layouts in the gallery.

Happy Holidays

Weekend Challenge

Happy New Year everyone,


I do hope you all had a wonderful Christmas and all the very best for 2011.

My first challenge to you for the year is to make a card or layout using punches, Spellbinders or die cuts…..also flowers, ribbons, buttons and stamps.

My example is a card we will be making at the next class in the shop.

I have used a Martha Stewart punch for the strip of black, and EK medium daisy punch (under the bow). Spellbinder dies for the square and circles. Heidi Swapp flower and a Bella ribbon bow. The cute stamp is Hero Arts – tiny bird messages.

Please join in the challenge for a chance to win a voucher in the shop, just put your entry in our gallery.

Have fun, Marg.

Thursday, 6 January 2011

Happy New Year to you all ...

Sometimes, well lots of times actually, we take photos that shall we say, aren't the best quality ... the lighting isn't flash, we have blurred photos due to movement, all sorts of reasons.

Sometimes though we 'have' to use the best of the bad, if that makes sense. So that we can keep the memory alive.

My challenge to you this week, to scrap some of those 'not the best' photos.

These photos aren't flash of DS, but I really needed to use them to record a special moment in time from prize giving a few weeks ago.

So, on your layout, apart from a multi photo layout, I would like to see a multi alpha title, a little metal [in my case staples], some stickers, yep, you read right, some stickers - I've used a selection of BG stickers on my layout and some mini alphas and I would also like to see something recycled - and in my case you can see a little strip of pizza packaging which I have recycled.




















Throw in a few tags, a little glimmermist, a little Tim Holtz distress ink [black soot] and there you have it.

Don't forget to share in the gallery.

Until next time, happy creating.

Only 2 days to go!!

Are you excited or scared??? Hopefully you're more organised than me!


I thought in the spirit of "only 2 more sleeps"....this week's Thursday Challenge should be to create a layout using 2 of everything! Think 2 photos, 2 papers, 2 circles, 2 flowers, etc

Here's my example:
I have included:
2 Colours - Black/Grey and White
2 photos
2 cardstock
2 Patterned papers (Basic Grey Ledger and Census)
2 Buttons
2 Word Title in 2 Fonts
2 Stamps (Bubbles and Barcode)
2 types of stitching
2 Paint colours
 
Get the idea??? Hope so. And here's hoping you actually get time to scrap! Please upload your entries to the Gallery 
MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYONE and  THANKS FOR A GREAT YEAR. HERE'S HOPING FOR AN AWESOME YEAR NEXT YEAR.

Tuesday Challenge

Hi everyone!

A fab thing about this time of year, is how inspired you can be by all the fabulous Christmas designs and colours out there.

One of my favourite colour combinations is Red & Aqua, and I think it translates so well to Christmas time, I have seen some amazing festive decor created using this colour combo.


On this christmas present shipping tag, I have used some Heidi Swapp star paper tape, Kaiser aqua rhinestones, Basic Grey "Curio" mini monogram stickers, and a little punch of the reindeer from some Basic Grey Eskimo Kisses patterned paper.

So your challenge today is to use two colours on your creation. To make it a bit easier, I am going to let you also add in black, white or cream, so you may use those as an extra colour if you wish.

Can't wait to see what you make!!

Happy Christmas!

Lee :)

Ribbon Roses - Step by Step

Materials and tools –


Ribbon
Hot glue gun
Piece of laminate or something similar
Stapler
Scissors
Tweezers
Something to poke with.
I also used some pearls on the one I made for a demo.

1. Cut a length of ribbon – think mine was about 25cm, staple the ends to the piece of laminate.

2. Cut more ribbon into about 20cm lengths…will be different for wider or narrower ribbon..you will just have to play around to see what fits best. Normally I have needed about 6 bits to fill the first strip.

3. Roll one end of the ribbon tightly about 3 or 4 times, then fold ribbon over itself and then keep rolling until you have gone past the fold. Check the diagram I drew for you…was just too hard to take pics of this. Fold again and continue like this until there is only about 1 ½ “ of ribbon left.


Sometimes there will be a little bit sticking out from under the rose...not sure why, so I just cut it off...lol...oops!

See the little bit sticking out?? Chop it!! will sit flatter when you do.
Now put some hot glue on your ribbon you have stapled to the laminate. Then press the rose into it.
With the tail that hasn't been folded, twist it and stick down with some more glue. Holding it there with something until it dries. (I used my poker thingy) when it is dry you can trim it off and put the next lot of glue right on top of it for the next rose.


When you get to the last rose, stick as per the others then twist the rest of it and take right around the rose and stick under the front...see pic, that might show what I'm saying...well it might!!..lol...see where the poker is...well that is where you will stick it. Oh dear that didn't sound good...lol..you know what I mean.
Now you are ready to peel it off the laminate and trim off any excess glue, you cannot help with glue guns, well I cannot anyway, getting webs of glue.
I also now added a pearl in the middle of the roses. thought it added just that little extra. You could put your roses closer together if you wanted....they cost about $2.00 to make, if that.


Ok now this was not the easiest class to take pics of as I had to hold the ribbon…hope you are able to work it out by my instructions, if not please leave a comment and I will get back to you.
Wishing everyone a Very Merry Christmas,
Marg.

Christmas tags

Christmas is knocking on our doors and I'm sure that I'm not the only one frantically wrapping and labelling gifts.

This year I have made quite a few homemade tags, some really quite simple and some of them I have made just a little more special than others.

This particular tag has been made using Bella papers, from the Sarah Jane range and Marg has them in the shop ... I've also used Designs Galore paper and cut out one of the Santa's - check out the different papers in this range in the shop as well.

I've distressed the edges a little and used crackle paint on the bottom of the paper and let it dry naturally and it has curled the edges a little - love the way it has done that.

I've inked the edges of my papers using a combination of Victorian Velvet, Antique Linen and Tea Dye distress inks.

I've popped a small piece of gauze between the top paper and the second layer of my tag, added a little crackle paint and diamond dust, added a tag, feather, pearls and seam binding ...






















Love the way this tag turned out and can only hope that the recipient appreciates her special tag.

So ... how about making yourself a couple of special gift tags and sharing them with us in the gallery.

Happy creating.

My page includes Bazzil Kraft cardstock, Scenic Route "Cape Town - Oswald Road" paper, the new Basic Grey "Curio" cardstock stickers (circle label and scalloped border), Pink Paislee grey & white paper tape, Jenni Bowlin chipboard button, and Cosmo Cricket grey "Ready Set Chip" School House alphas (Creek), Collage Press "Knave of Hearts" alphas (The) and 7 Gyspies label stickers.

Ribbons, Lace, Felt, Fibres, Ric Rac.......

These are all the things you can pick up cheap in the Store today!
I thought I'd give you some ideas to use up the stash you already have (so you can go shopping for more!!), or to use up some of the yummy goodies you can buy if you haven't got enough!

Fold it, stitch it, place it, loop it, make it into flowers, tie it in knots......the possibilites are endless!
Not just for girlie pages either!

I have a huge stash of ribbons, fibres and felt, but I rarely complete a page without adding some sort of "haberdashery". That's why I can never go past looking (and buying!) more all the time as well!

Here's some pages I've done recently using a mixture of ribbons, felt, fibres, ric rac and lace. I'd love to see some of your ideas as well. I'll be in the shop checking out the specials while you whip up some examples for me! Don't forget to share in the gallery before the end of the month to go in the prize draw!

Fabric Rose

Hi all,
I was putting together a Step by Step for this ribbon rose that I will be sharing with you on the 16th Dec.
Don't forget to check back for the instructions.

Now what was I saying?? oh yeah, while I had the hot glue gun out I thought I would make some Calico roses as well. I had some scraps of fabric left over from a project on the weekend.
Here is what I did.
First draw a spiral circle, ( the piece of fabric would have been about 3" square)  try to keep the gaps even, this is harder than you think, you automatically start small and go bigger...well resist the temptation to do this and keep them all the same.
Then  cut it out, don't stay on the line, make a wave as you cut.
Now take the end and wind it around something, I used a pencil, if it was paper I would use a quilling tool.
When you have finished sit it on the little round bit that is in the middle of the circle and play with it until you have it looking as you want. - you might want to tighten the centre or loosen it a bit.
When you are happy with it stick it to the round bit with some hot glue. Now all you have to do it spray it with some glimmermist to make it what ever colour you need.

 
Have a go and share with us in the gallery...this is not a challenge just something for fun.
Cheers,
Marg.

Tuesday....

And it is getting really close to that silly day....

So my challenge to you is to create a small gift...

Weekend Challenge

Hi all, my turn for the Weekend Challenge.
Today I would like you to bring out your tools, blow off the dust and create something awesome...like a layout or card. You know what I am talking about - your stamps, punches, cuttlebug, cricut etc.
My example is one of the cards we made in our class today.

I have used MS punches - New Deep Edge Around the Page Punch set and 3 Butterfly punches.
Also used my Cuttlebug with Spellbinder labels Nestabilities.
The stamp is from a Dark Room Door Set.
Please join in the Challenge and upload into the Gallery  for a chance to win a voucher.
Have a wonderful weekend and don't miss out on picking up some great savings while the 12 days of Christmas Sale is on.
Take care.
Marg.

and it's time ...

... for a wee recipe challenge ... so your recipe this week ...

To complete a layout ... oops, that should be a multi photo layout. That's right I want to see more than one photo, in fact three photos would be good and in some of those photos I want to see water. If you want to scrap a layout with more than three photos - I say, go for it.

Let's add a few more ingredients shall we ...

A little ink
A little glimmermist or paint
A little distressing
A little layering
and some tags ...

There you have it ... I'm sure that this won't be difficult.

I will leave you to mix the ingredients.

Look forward to seeing what you cook up.

And before I go ... here's what I did.






















Happy creating.
Later,
Michelle [aka Mrs Frizz]
