Somehow I missed uploading these projects in November.
These are last of my Crafting in Style design team layouts, using Rouge de Garange papers:
And another November Design Team layout for Scrap Pile, using Cosmo Cricket 'Nutmeg' papers:
This weekend is the final cybercrop over at Crafting in Style. Lana is closing the store, but the site and gallery and sketch blog will remain open.
I've done up a sketch:
Digital credits:
* Torn paper by Balahai (NezNez kit) * Ribbon by Kalanice (Plasir D'Hiver collab kit) * Swatches by Anita Sturgiou (Krafty Chic kit) * Alphas by FeiFei (Chipboard alphabets set)
And my sample layout:
As always, the extra criteria for the challenge are up in the forum if you'd like to join in the challenge, and don't forget to check out the challenges that Laura and Kerryn have set too.
Lana at Crafting in Style gave me some Kaisercraft 'Lilac Avenue' papers and MDF frame to play with, and this is what I came up with:
Purple is NOT my most favourite of scrapping colours, but I'm pretty happy with the result!! The frame will be an end-of-year thank you gift for one of my daughter's teachers. I also followed a workshop tutorial by Leanne (fellow DT chickie at Scrap Pile) to make a matching gift bag, in monochromatic:
I'm entering the giftbag in these challenges:
# Design Dollies ~ Colour challenge ~ monochromatic purple
# Humble Pie ~ One key colour
# Allsorts ~ Week 29 ~ buttons
# Three Clovers ~ Challenge 42 ~ gifts
I used: Kaisercraft 'Lilac Avenue' paper and Kaisercraft stamp from the 'Flora and Fauna' set, Colorbox fluid chalk, grosgrain ribbons and buttons from my stash.
Where has the year gone?? December already, with Christmas holidays just around the corner.
Over at Scrap Pile, we are having an Advent gift swap - we sent our swap partner 25 little presents, one for each day of December leading up to Christmas. So exciting!!
My partner Fiona gave me this bag of goodies:
Thank you!!!
A few more Christmas cards:
The first one is an easel card which I made for Liz's challenge at Scrap Boutique, using more Bo Bunny 'Love Shack' papers:
I made this one using up the offcuts of the first card:
# Secret Crafter ~ Challenge #60 ~ Christmas trees
# Whimsy Stamps ~ Challenge #29 ~ Christmas
# Charisma Cardz ~ Challenge 47 ~ Christmas
Over at Scrap Pile we held our last cybercrop for 2009 on the weekend, and our theme was Christmas...
My challenge was to create a Christmas layout with at least three photographs, using non-traditional colours. My layout:
There's also some free Christmas workshops ~ our Christmas gift to Scrap Pile forum members. Here's a small selection of some of my workshop creations:
The ornaments are made from recycled plastic cocoa lids (because we consume a lot of drinking chocolate in this household *wink*).
I'm entering this last project over at:
# C.R.A.F.T ~ Challenge 27 ~ Christmas gifts
# Charisma Cardz ~ Challenge 47 ~ anything Christmas
# Design Dollies ~ sketch challenge ~ 'Thankful' theme
# Design Dollies ~ Elements challenge ~ water
1) beach/ocean photograph 2) blue colour scheme 3) handcut waves
Yesterday my daughter was telling me about one of the fairy stories she is reading, and she decided she NEEDS a wish box. How it works (apparently) ~ the box needs to be really pretty and you write your wishes on pieces of paper and put them inside the box so that they can come true.
So, I surreptitiously unearthed an empty boiled lolly tin from the 'someday' craft box while she was at school, rifled through my stash for some funky patterned paper offcuts, and I got creative:
I haven't decided if I'll show her yet, or wait till she brings up the subject again, or put it aside for her birthday next month, or place it in her Christmas stocking...
In the meantime however, I'm entering this little creation in:
# Humble Pie ~ altered item
UPDATE 27 NOV: I won a prize for this one at Humble Pie. I'm holding on to the Wish Box for now and I'll wrap it up for her birthday, which is really, really soon.
I love cybercrops at Scrap Boutique! I didn't get through all the challenges this time round, but here are some of the ones I finished:
Speed scrapping ~ Scrapped and uploaded in 90 mins (hence the dodgy night photo)
Colour challenge ~ What a surprise, I went with the orange and brown!!
Card challenge ~ Inspired by Liz's sketch:
I'm powering through the guinea pig layouts!! I will get this calendar finished by Christmas!!
This one combines a few different online challenges:
# Design Dollies ~ Sketch challenge
# Design Dollies ~ Elements challenge ~ flowers
# Quixotic Paperie ~ Challenge #3 ~ kraft and red
# Simon Says ~ Animal Antics (how could I resist??)
This one is for the sketch by Amanda at the Scrap Boutique November cybercrop:
