seasoned with sugar
Well, two weeks into the Seasoned Scrapper over at Little Scrapbook Shop and I have two nice OTPs to show off. Week One saw us making covers for a book to record our Seasoned Scrapping work in. I can’t say I love mine, but it’s alright.
This week the challenge was to follow Deanne’s instruction for making a very cool box with cocertina fold slots to hold the cards we make over the year. We also had to make sure our card what ‘summery’ in feel. I was pretty pleased with how mine turned out – nothing fancy but it’s neat, accurate and bright. The instructions on how to make it are here.
Anyway, I’m off to continue scrapping some of our holiday photos from our trip to England. Hopefully I can find some inspiration!!!
more cropping goodness
I kept busy for the remaineder of the weekend. Here is a quick look at the goodies I made…
Thanks Little Scrapbooking Shop Design Team for great challenges and all the ladies over there for a great croppy weekend.
gotta love craft
Well, I’ve been super slack with blogging lately. Just too much on and not enough time to spend around here. I’ve been over at the Little Scrapbooking Shop’s November Cyber Crop. There are some seriously cool things over there. So far I’ve made this snazzy lil’ xmas display (the challenge instructions are here)…
I also got cracking on this exceptionally cool challenge using a ring pull can. Basically, you can fill it up with stuff (I put in Lindt chocolates) and with the clever trick shared on the challenge page, you can still use the ring pull. I’m making chocolate filled ones for my parent helpers and going to buy amusing t-shirts for my step bro and sis and make cans for their xmas present with the shirt inside. Definitely very, very cool.
I’m about to get cracking on some calendars (for Tara’s challenge) and some photo frames (just for pressies).
Earlier in the week, I did Mel’s Blindfold Scrap, also at the Little Scrapbooking Shop. This is how my page turned out…
Hopefully I’ll be able to add another post before the weekend with other cool stuff I’ve made!
useless, but cool
I have no idea what the proper name for these things are, but I’ve been loving what I’ve seen in some Perth scrap shops (especially Scraptivate and Scrapbooking To Di For) and I bought some ‘bits’ to make one myself. I’ve never made something like this before but I’m quite happy with how it turned out, although not half as good as the stuff I’ve seen in Perth. Maybe one day I’ll get to go to one of these done in a class. Here’s dreaming. Anyway, here are some pix of my latest creation.
scrappily, happily, twiddley
Well, I’ve had a super-busy weekend. Friday was filled with a hair cut and colour (which looks great, imho), shopping for some new trousers (thanks Esprit for making clothes I love) and generally family stuff.
Saturday was great – I went to a 12-hour scrap at Scrapbooking To Di For with my scrappy friend Rachel. The scrappy ladies were all very nice and I had a very productive day and made 2 cards and completed 5 pages. Here are the cards and 3 of the pages which I created…
If you like the flower in the Lilac Avenue papers, you can get them from The Little Scrapbooking Shop -> here. They are made in Oz by Sandie and they are very cool.
As mentioned the other day, I’ve recently discovered the world of Twiddlebitz (and discovered that something I thought was a Twiddlebit actually wasn’t – must have ended up on the wrong stand at the scrap shop I bought it at!!! – and how embarressment I put it in my gallery at Twiddlebitz’s Ning page, think I’ve rectified by faux pax and deleted it properly!!! Must make sure I do use proper Twiddles in future!!!!) and Di from Scrapbooking To Di For introduced me to their Ning page which you can join and share and check out lots of awesome work featuring Twiddlebitz. It is very cool and is totally inspirational.
I’ve stocked up on some new goodies while I was in Perth and now we are home I’m looking forward to scrapping up a storm or two, especially some cool new OTP lovies. Stayed tuned for some pix 🙂
delicious slice of cards
I’ve been doing the Little Scrapbooking Shop’s monthy CyberScrap again this weekend, which has been brilliant. I’m particularly in love with the project designed by Sandie – making a set of triangular cards featuring idioms that fit inside a little cake box. I used KaiserCraft’s Lovestruck range of papers and bits and pieces from my stash to make mine.
Sandie found the pattern for the cake box here and there are heaps of cool templates to print out for other things too. This is going to make a great gift for a friend of mine.
