ScrapaGoGo Retreat

ScrapaGoGo retreat number 11 was this last weekend!!

Here are a few of the class layouts that I succeeded in finishing!!!

 

This was a Sam Ball class.....using ornamental pegs and lots of 'fussy' cutting!!!

 

This was an Eileen Webdale class.....hand decorated buttons and lots of 'fussy' cutting!!!

 

This one was Rebekah Brumby class.....moving spiders!!  Love it!!!!

 

This class was Sheena Rowlands.... paper press embellishments...using toilet paper!!! Love it!!!!!!  Will definitely do this again but must use Andrex!!!

 

Another class with Rebekah Brumby....pop-up people!!  Didn't actually do the pop-up as my pages never come out of my albums.....and I don't like cutting holes in the protectors....but loved it as just a layout!!

I enjoyed all the classes...loved all the papers etc that we used and will probably try some of the techniques again!!!  Especially the toilet paper one!!!  LOL

Lots of fun at the retreat...looking forward to the next one now in March 2014!!!!!!!

Thank you for visiting!!

Scrap Our Stash

This is my layout for the challenge at Scrap Our Stash...it was a TicTacToe and I chose the column of chipboard, arrows and twine.

 

The arrows are obvious..the chipboard is the 'Fun' title and the twine is across the bottom and also tied in the button.   I started the layout with a sketch by Brenshevia but I veered off...so it didn't look much like it by the time I had finished!!  It was a 'FUN' to do layout!! LOL

Lots of time to enter...the challenge ends on the 29th October!  http://scrapourstash.blogspot.co.uk/2013/10/stash-challenge-8-tic-tac-toe.html

There is still loads of time to join in...the challenge doesn't close until 5th November! http://scrapology-adventuresinscrapbooking.blogspot.co.uk/2013/10/b-is-for-buttons.html

1st Canvas

This is a mini canvas that I have made for a friend's birthday!

 

I have never done a mixed media canvas before...so thought I would start small!!!  Might do a bigger one now....really had fun with this and got messy!!!

I used gesso, paint, texture paste, masks and sprays and tried to get extra dimension with chipboard etc. I was really happy with the finished canvas and hope my friend will be too!!!

I am entering it into the challenge at Embellish Me Happy.

http://embellishmehappy.blogspot.co.uk/2013/09/september-challenge-and-august-winner.html#comment-form

S.W.A.T. challenge

This is my layout for the Drill 14 at S.W.A.T.

 

The challenge was to use a sketch......

....and stickers!!!

Although I have lots of stickers...as do we all....I am not very good at using them!!!

Tag (bottom left), word stickers '100% Girl and It's a Girl Thing'.....I stuck to card first and then cut out so I could get some height!! 'Play' is just stuck down!!!!  The date tag at the top was also a sticker thingy!!!  I didn't do too bad with the sketch...just a few minor tweaks!!! LOL

The challenge ends on the 28th August...so need to get your skates on to join in!!

The Memory Nest Summer challenge

This is my layout for the summer challenge 6 at the Memory Nest.

 

This is the challenge.....

 

....not only a sketch but color combo too!!!!!!!!  I love sketches...but color combos I am not very good with!!!  But this one was ok!!!!!  Well...I reckon I followed the sketch and the color combo!!!!!!!!!

This challenge finishes on the 23rd....so I am making it by the skin of my teeth!!!!!

The Scrappy Friends Challenges

This is my layout for the Scrappy Friends challenges....

 

Every month they do a challenge each and if you incorporate all of them you get entered into another draw....so 4 chances to win with one layout!!!

For August this is Brenda's sketch....

 

Rochelle required a 'Travel' theme...

Kristi's recipe was....wood, stripes and mixed alphas.

I followed the sketch, and it is definitely travel related as Alex and Cassie were probably travelling at 30,000ft!!! The wooden embellishments are the 'vacation' tag, 'camera' tag and the pennant with the date...I think the stripes and alpha are obvious!!! LOL

You have until the end of the month to join in!!! I am sure they would love to see you!!
