January Mid Month Motivation

Hi again :)

After celebrating such a wonderful weekend at Scrapfest 2010 I thought it would be a good idea to focus on the theme of ‘Friends’ for this month’s motivation.

I’ve been inspired by all the creativity over the weekend and created a layout to celebrate some of my wonderful scrapbooking friends:

So if you’re looking for a little motivation this month why not create a layout, mini album or project dedicated to your friends!

Happy Scrapping – Shell xx

We’re finally back!

I know it's been a LONG time... and there is a lot of catching up to do... but for now I'm trialling using Word to do my blogging so I'll keep it short. Is anyone else using Word to blog with?

Firstly I hope you all had a wonderful Christmas and New Year enjoying time with family and friends. Our household was very busy with all the preparations for Scrapfest 2010. And speaking of Scrapfest... what a FABULOUS weekend of scrapping, friends and fun! I'll share pictures as soon as I can.

In the meantime you might like to check out the shop because there's lots of NEW goodies plus I've learnt that the website has a SPECIALS button J

World Cardmaking Day - Challenge #6

Ok... it's time for the final challenge - but it's a good one!

The theme this time is GLITZ, SPARKLE and SHINE!

For this challenge you need to get out the glitter, kindy glitz, embossing powders, shiny embellishments etc in fact anything at all that will add a bit of sparkle to your card!

Here's my sample: Unfortunately 'sparkle' doesn't always photograph that well... so long as we get 'some' sparkle I'll be pretty happy.

The silver background paper on my card is REALLY shiny... I also embossed the stamp with silver and added some silver ink around the stamped image. To finish it off I added some shiny star embellishments and added some kindy glitz to the wine bottle :)

Now it's time for you to get out all the glittery things that magpies love! Remember to upload as "Challenge #6 - your name"

You have until 8pm tonight to get the challenges done and uploaded into the gallery and then I'll be announcing the winners (including the spot prizes) at 8.30pm

World Cardmaking Day - Challenge #5

This time the challenge is to use FLOWERS!

You need to use at least 1 flower on your card... it could be a sticker, rub on, stamp, embellishment... anything you like :)

Here's my sample card:
I kept it all pretty simple really... the stamp actually includes a flower but I wanted something 'a little more' so I added a flower embellishment over the top.

Now it's your turn... and remember to upload as "Challenge #5 - your name" when you put your card in the gallery :)

World Cardmaking Day - Challenge #4

Hopefully you're all enjoying these cardmaking challenges

Challenge #4 is all about SHAPE!

Most of the cards available to buy are rectangular... and it seems that it's a shape we're pretty comfortable making. So this time the challenge is to make a card that is NOT rectangular... any shape will do - circular, triangular, square etc

Here's my sample card:
I've been wanting to make a square card for ages... what's stopped me?? Lack of envelopes in this shape (and the cost of the ones I can get!) So don't worry about the envelope and just create a card that's not a rectangle

Remember to upload as "Challenge #4 - your name"
