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!!

In my kit from Scrappin’ Patch this time there was papers and stickers from the Cosmo Cricket Boyfriend Collection and some journalling spots. I had so much fun doing my Poppet Page with the Karen Foster scrapbook line that I decided to do another. It is a great way to use photos with people in with busy backgrounds – Just cut the background out and you have a poppet.

Here is my layout

Products that I have used and in the shop:

Cosmo cricket Cardstock Stickers – some of which I have cut out an image from the sticker.
Cosmo cricket Fitting in paper
Cosmo cricket Study Hall Paper
Cosmo cricket Tube socks Paper
Websters alphas

Other products – October afternoon weathervane paper (clouds), Prima mom and me paper (Sun) and MM bird, twine

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.

This weeks Sketchbook challenge has been set by Annelie and it is to do a double layout. You have until midnight sunday to add your layout to the gallery. I decided to do a layout I have been wanting to so for all long time about Christopher bringing home Patrick the Panda from school for the weekend. I finally got the papers I had being looking for for this (Prima again!).

Here it is

My only excuse is that I was away last week ……

Just some creations to share -

Sketchbooks current challenge is by Heidi and is a shabby chic/vintage and add metal and is on until Midnight the 18th of November. I used Bella papers and a Tim Holtz frame as my metal.

Last weeks was Hannah’s challenge (which is now closed) was to do a layout about yourself with your age being the number of facts you had to have of yourself – I had to do 38 and the kids drew pictures of me.

and another layout is for round five of Project Fashionista over at Wicked Princess sadly I didn’t get voted into the final round but was chuffed when this layout got layout of the week. The challenge was to use pink, green and yellow on a layout and include ribbon.

and finally don’t forget to check out Scrappin’ Patch over the next few weeks – its their second birthday and there is lots going on!! – including lots of yummy new products in the shop. Currently there is a card challenge which ends on Saturday
- here is my card

and of course the boyzone challenge which ends on the 26th

Here is my layout – the alphas and journal spot are from Scrappin’ Patch

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

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.

Well I got my box of goodies I bought from Scrappin’ Patch on Friday afternoon and couldn’t resist doing a layout late last night to create with one Webster paper and a Prima Vine to create this layout. These Prima and Websters products go so well together!!
