JULY Update


Have missed a month there, but for good reason. I have been off galavanting across the world on a trip to Europe for some every important Children's Hospital work. Had a great time and met some wonderful people, but am back to my scrap desk and have been playing along with some of the monthly and cybercrop Bon challenges over at Bon's scraps. Here are the current challenges for July:

JULY MONTHLY SKETCH CHALLENGE


JULY WRITE NOW CHALLENGE





JULY ROTM CHALLENGE

I also had a go at the Kraft it Up Challenge for the very first time. I'm not much of a 'Kraft' scrapper, so it was a little out of my comfort zone, but I love the look it gives with beachy photos. I got Kaytie to do these little painted footprints using her fist. I used to do that when I was little on the foggy windows of the car, so it brought back some great memories too :)
JUNE KRAFT IT UP CHALLENGE

Now for some older layouts I did in March, April, May and June and I think they were all pretty much at Bon's Scraps. The girls really put on some great challenges over there, so if you get a chance, go on over and check it out!! The next cybercrop is coming up too, next tuesday 20th July!

MARCH CC COLOUR CHALLENGE

So there you go, I've been a bit slack with the blogging, but then I guess it makes for better viewing when I do update it with more layouts.


Also, SCRAP THE BOYS are back!!! I'm hoping to do a few of their challenges using the pile I Luke photos I have. They are running a giveaway at the moment, so go and check it out!!!

APRIL

Gosh, I can not believe it is already April!!!!! With school back this week, its back into routine and a little bit of scrapping share from the holidays.

The first one was the FTL layout I did for my final challenge at artypants, but it seems that everyone was too busy to play along, so no one had a go which was a bit of a shame. I love these photos of Kaytie in the little electric car, she is such a cute little driver too. Doing her 3 point turns like she's been driving for years LOL!!!! Loving the October Afternoon paper atm, seems to suit any photo moment!!
ALSO: Jodie has just announced at Artypants that she is selling the business so if you are interested you can check out the details HERE.

This one of Kaytie in her swim cap was done for Em's challenge over at Scrapboutique.
This one was a scraplift challenge for the March CC over at Bon's. Was great to do a layout with 4 photos in it, so thanks for the inspiration Charm and Bronny!!!


This was another CC challenge over at Bon's....Syke's Sketch Challenge. Love this photo of Luke, so proud of himself with his painting hehe.


And lastly this is my first attempt at the ROTM challenge at Bon's. Felicity chooses a Room to draw inspiration from each month and you are to scrap your interpretation of it. This photo of Kaytie and Jemmah is just too cute and was yelling out to be to be scrapped hehe.



This also leads me to the announcement of the next Bon's CC for April.
Starting next tuesday 20th April and you have a whole week to complete the challenges and join in on the fun and games. Here is the timetable:
7.30pm START
7.30pm Bons colour challenge

Well that's it for me for now, will be back to show the layouts from the CC in a few weeks :D

My last DT challenge!!

As you all have read, I have resigned my position from the Artypants Design Team effective the end of March, so I thought I would host one last challenge.


FOLLOW THE LEADER!!!!

Here is an upside down sneak peek of what you will be creating....

I used the new yummy October Afternoon range Cherry Hill and Road Map!!

Would love it if you could come along and join me. It will be hosted on Sunday 28th March at 8pm in HERE. The step by step instructions will be given in real time and your layout will need to be in the gallery by Monday 29th Midnight.

Winners will be announced in the forum on Tuesday 30th March and here is what you could win!!!

I've also created another layout since I last posted on here for SCRAPBOUTIQUE, its their monthly Stylist Challenge, which was a colour challenge of using brown, organe, dusty pink and teal. Had a fun play with felt too :D




Well that's it from me today!!

WHOOOHOOO it's in print!!!

my layout that was accepted for publication last year, has finally made it into the magazine that came out today!!!! Vol 12 #3.....here's the page:

I've been doing a little bit of scrapping at some crop days, one of which was held at my my mum's house on Labour Day. It was great to get out for the whole day rather than just a few hours at night, but in saying that I also scrapped at my friend Cristi's house the other night and I got two and a half layouts done there. I think it makes a difference when its not at your own place, you can relax more and let the mojo take over! Anyways, here are a few of the layouts that I created over those last two crop day/night.

This one is for a Sketch hosted my Felicity over at Bon's Scraps. Love her work and sketches, and it also had to include paint circles which were lots of fun and very effective!!

Bon's Scraps is also having their March CC starting next week on the 23rd March. You can check out the information here and below is the timetable: Come along its lots of fun!!!!
8:45- Sketch Challenge
9:05- bingo
9:15- Scrap Lift challenge
9:30- DT Challenge
MAKE SURE YOU POP IN EVERYDAY TO CHECK OUT THE PHOTOGRAPHY CHALLENGES TOO!


This one "Sweet" was created for Scrapboutique's Stash stomper hosted by the lovely KarenB. Karen's sketch and sample is devine and the added criteria was to include atleast 3 different materials/felt/ribbon etc.

This one "create" is my week #2 submission for Scrapability sketches Soup challenge. It's ran by the beautiful Bek and inspired by 5 different 'ingredients' for each day of the week and then a 'twist'. This one was to include: Kraft cs, rubon, transparency, round embellishment, bling and 8.5" x 11" layout. These were photos from the day at kinder that I was on duty, hehe so cute!


I also played along with their monthly sketch challenge below:




This next one will form part of a a double layout of the one above and I have entered it into My sketch world.
I've never entered into their comps before, so am still learning about how they do things. I also entered into their card sketch too with a cute card for our friends Michelle and Steve's new little addition - Lily Jean.


AND LASTLY!!!!
I've decided to step down from the DT at Artypants. It's something that I had been thinking about for a couple of months so it wasn't a decision I made lightly. It's be great hanging out with the girls on the forum and coming up with challenges and games for the members, especially the fun Scrap your Pants off comp. But there comes a time when things need to take a back seat in order to accomplish other goals in your life and right now that entails my big O/S trip in May.
Thanks for having me on the team Jodie and I've learnt lots and made lots of friends :)
Well that's it for now. Thanks for stopping by and commenting on my layouts, I really appreciate all your kind thoughts and feedback!!!

SOME SCRAPPY CHALLENGES

I've been getting a little bit of scrapping done lately, I think my mojo is back. Now all I need is a little more time to put my creativity down on paper.
Two weeks ago, Artypants had their SUMMER LOVIN' Cybercrop, but I only got around to one challenge as it was Kaytie's birthday weekend. I also used Em's sketch challenge from SB's Stash Stomper as it was so different and also had to include patterned paper from our stash leftovers, which I have heaps of atm and trying to reduce, so this was a great challenge for me! Here's what I came up with.....


About 2 years ago, I joined up to another scrap forum called Bon's Scraps and I've become friends with a few of the girls from there, so I decided to go and check it out. WEll they were having a cybercrop at the time, so I thought I would join in with their two challenges. The first one is a sketch challenge.....

And the next one was a scraplift. THis was the first time I tried to scrap with cardboard and I did myself an injury with my scrap blad and punctured a whole in the palm of my hand just under my finger OUCH!!! Worth it though, it was great fun putting this together.....


Scrapboutique was also having a cybercrop, so thought I would join in there too. The girls are so friendly and fun to chat too, so I played along with bingo and had a go at Manon's colour challenge. The theme of the crop was school photos, so since Kaytie and Luke aren't at school yet, Karen gave me the good idea to scrap my grad photos. Great idea, thanks Karen and love the result :D



Lastly, Scrapability are having their first comp for 2010. It's called the Scrapability Soup challenge where you are given ingredients throughout the week to use for the basis of your layout and then you have a week to scrap it. It's an elimination comp, so we'll see how far I get with this one......The ingreidents for this challenge was; *2photos, green, paint, doodling, stitching and banners, no flowers. Was great fun and an idea I had been wanting to create for a week or so now....


Well that's all the layouts I have to share. But come and check out the forum at Artypants tomorrow as its the start of a new month and we have a heap of fun monthly challenges to launch!!!!! Till next time! xoxo

COME ON OVER TO SCRAP BOUTIQUE FOR LOTS OF GREAT WEEKEND CHALLENGES

WICKED PRINCESSES

2010

It's been a while since I last updated, so thought I would start fresh with what I have done this year, be it only 14 days hehe
But before I do I have some sad news to begin with from 2009, if you didn't already know, Lana has unfortunately closed the CIS store. The forum is still up for chatting and sharing projects and the sketch blog is still running strong with the beautiful Krissy, Kerry, Hilde, Sara, Ilona and Ali. But with no challenges and products there is no reason for a DT position, so sadly I have finished up there. Thanks so much to Lana though, who did a fantastic job at the forum and the store and was great to work with on the team - I gained so much experience and had a lot of fun!!!

Ok so this year, I have so far completed 3 layouts and had so much fun doing them. I hadn't scrapped for a couple of weeks over the Christmas period so it was great to get back into it and creative.

The first one was a challenge from the lovely Karenb over at Scrapboutique, which showcases Kaytie at the Christmas local fair.
The next one is of Luke playing with his trains that Michelle handed down from Tom. A massive collection too!!! This was another SB challenge set by the beautiful Manon.

And lastly, this layout I did JUST BECAUSE. I had a friend, Emily come around yesterday to start her first ever album and while she was doing some beautiful layouts, I thought I would just scrap some photos that I've had printed for a while.

I'll try not to make it too long between posts next time and I should have some Artypants news soon, with the first 2010 cybercrop coming up in Feb!!!
