Lets get Shabby Challenge

Here is my take for the Lets get Shabby challenge this Month. The criteria was to have some hand made embellishments on your page. Mine are the little 3d flowers. Loving Webster Papers!!

Lets get Shabby challenge

Well I am joining the Shabby chic challenge over at Lets Get Shabby with hours to spare – I really love shabby chic and this challenge was to include something vintage. I have used an old ribbon from a collection a lady had that she had collected many many years ago and the music paper comes from a music score which was dated in the 1940’s. I have also used bolder colours.

It is SCRAPPIN’ PATCH’S 2nd BIRTHDAY

It is Scrappin’ Patch’s birthday this month – so it’s party time . They got challenges, RAKS, prizes, fun, and something you all love – a bargain, and more new product arriving. The first challenge is up and there will be other things happening all month along with the normal challenges.

Here is my take for the challenge which is an all about scrapping challenge.

The papers I have used are Karen foster paper which can be found at Scrappin’ Patch here.

Also on at Scrappin’ Patch is the new Shabby chic Challenge by Liz and it is to use two colours and use a black and white photo.

Here is my layout

Scrapping Challenges

Scrappin’ Patch has a new challenge up today – which is by Liz and is a designers choice challenge. The challenge criteria is to use primary colours on a page and include song or book words on your layout.

I have been participating in a challenges myself over in Australia for the
Wicked Princess forum and here are the last three challenges.

This the challenge for week two

This weeks’ catwalk creation is all about Sleepwear. Think comfy and warm, but sexy at the same time. Your criteria includes using circles to represent spots on flannel pjs and the quote “We are shaped and fashioned by what we love” You must accessories your outfit with felt. As last week seemed rather tricky, you can embellish your outfit with other items, but YOU MUST include felt on there, and not just one tiny little bit in the corner .

Here is my layout. My felt is the flowers I made using the cuttlebug

week three was a little harder mainly becuse of the eyelets – I don’t know when I last used eyelets!!- the criteria was as follows

Avant garde – one for the boys. Fashion isn’t always about “glamour and pretty”. This week its all about mens fashion, and we want you to create an avant garde work of art, using metal as your material. Your criteria must include the color black and you must use 20 brads OR 20 eyelets on your work. You need to accessorise with at least 2 of the following – leather, mesh, wire, staples, paper clips, foil and bottle caps. If you choose to use ALL of the accessories, that is up to you. But, these are the ONLY accessories you can use on your design, as well as the brads criteria.

Here is my layout:

The current challenge which was announced yesterday was right down my alley and I have completed it already.

This was the challenge:

Every fashionista must have a bridal gown in her portfolio. This challenge is to create a beautiful “shabby chic” creation. Criteria for this fashion piece must include soft muted tones, lace, pearls. You can include other embellishments, but the above MUST in your design.

Here is my layout – it has dried up seaweed on it!! that I found on the beach.

Doing Challenges again!!

I love do challenges but have not being taken part in many just creating them so when Wicked Princesses over the ditch had a sign up for a new contest I jumped at the chance to do the seven weeks of challenges – the main prize is all their October kits – I love their kits but postage is so steep it is just not in my budget. For the first challenge we had to use three patterned papers, two types of embellishments from a list and be inspired by an image they had on the forum. I chose feathers and bling!! Those feathers though caused me to have hayfever symptoms for the whole day after doing the layout!! The things we do for our art!!

New Boyzone Challenge overat Scrappin’ Patch

Here is the new challenge:

Hi everyone hope you all have the gorgeous weather we are having up here in Auckland. I certainly have and the kids have been to the beach twice this week!!
