Thought I would do another little update...

WOW, I have been googling in awe at some of the amazing work that so many talented scrapbookers have been creating for design teams lately on facebook and am feeling just a little inadequate lately with my creations - Boy oh boy, I would love to have the time to create elaborate layouts that are mini works of art like so many of the talented scrapbookers out there, but, I just don't have the time :( Every layout I create these days is for a class with a 2 hour time limit, so please understand that I need to create layouts that are a little less complicated and can be completed in the 2 hour time frame. So having said that..........Here are a few more layouts that I have been creating for classes recently.....

"Remember this moment"

 Using the fairly new Martha Steward all over punch

Wow - Butterfly Frame

We are memory keepers  - bakers twine

Ranger - Distress inks

"Summer Fun"

 Using - Scrap FX chipboard - Summer Fun

WOW - Angelique Flourish

Prima Papers

"Hanging Out"

 Using - Scrap FX - Steampunk border

"Happy Times"

 Using - SFX Chipboard title - Happy times

Manor House ornate frames - Gothic - black

Manor House - Floral mix - Arielle

Lots of Glimmer mist

"Queen of Hearts Tea Party"

 Using - Twiddley Bitz chipboard - Tea Party

Prima Resin Clocks

Manor House Ornate Frames

Well that's it for now - I hope there is some inspiration there for you :)

Happy Scrapping

Take care

November 13 Christmas Challenge....

Hello and welcome to our November challenge!
We kept it pretty simple for you this month...

CREATE A LAYOUT/CARD/OTP 

WITH A CHRISTMAS THEME

REQUIREMENT: USE CHIPBOARD AND GLITTER

We will start with Julie's amazing sample:

Julie used gorgeous 7 Dots Studio papers for her Christmas theme layout, she added glitter to beautiful swirl chipboard, Julie also used a chipboard mailbox under her photo. She added loads of flowers including Manorhouse Creations flowers and Prima Marketing! We really love Julie's sock banner under the photo, a very nice detail!

Next we have Sandrine's sample:

Sandrine went with a neutral colour combo using gold accents here and there to add a festive feel to her creation. She designed her background by painting kraft cardstock with Gesso and applying some texture paste through a template. She used chipboard butterfly, feather, hexagon and button and added a touch of glitter to the tip of her feather and on the button.
