March challenge at Scottie Crafts

OK! This month we have a recipe for you. You can, of course add any extra ingredients, to make a delicious creation!


Basic Ingredients:

2 sheets patterned paper
some masking or stencilling
a hidden journalling tag
2 items of Prima goodness

Here is my creation:

I have, of course, used more than 2 items of Prima.....mainly because I couldn't resist all the yummy, yummy Prima goodies that have arrived at Scotties!! ( patterned papers, flowers, page pebbles, flocked rub-ons, bling!)

The stencil I have used on the background is a Crafter's Workshop, which I have dabbed with different Tim Holtz inks. Scottie Crafts has a great range of all this product.

My hidden journalling tag is on the left ( a little hard to see)

To be in the draw to win a RAK, head on over to Scottie Crafts and leave a comment on their blog with a link to your blog or an online gallery or email a pic of your creation to customerservice@scottie crafts.

Deadline for this Challenge is Midnight, Sunday 3rd of April.

Add more flowers with Southern Girls

I am thinking that the only challenge this fortnight over at Southern Girls is going to be for the DT choosing and commenting! The topic is Add More Flowers! A real challenge for any cardmaker or scrapbooker...err...not!
Anyway here is my example. I decided to make it my challenge to do a boy LO using flowers. All flowers are handmade. I used the sketch from Scottie Crafts Feb challenge.

Looking forward to seeing a whole garden of flowers in this weeks gallery.

Graphic 45 Journal cover

These Graphic 45, Curtain Call, papers, from Scottie Crafts, are perfect for a travel journal cover or diary cover. I picked up a plain journal from the $2 shop and it has a whole new look with the Graphic 45 papers and Tim Holtz photostrip die and ticket die and stamp and, of course, some Glossy Accents. The Prima flower is taken off one of the Prima necklaces and then I have used the rest of the ribbon with the beads on, as a page marker.

The Kiss

My Scottie Crafts kit this month included some of the classy Curtain Call Collection from Graphic 45. One side of these papers has traditional Graphic 45 images and the other side has wonderful co-ordinating background patterns which are perfect for anything from heritage, wedding, travel or male layouts.
Add some brads and you have the perfect layout for this fortnights challenge  at Southern Girls! ( Go check it out!!)

Other bits and pieces (that are also available or can be ordered from Scottie Crafts) include Prima products: flowers, swirls, chipboard, pink patterned paper, Martha Stewart punches, Tim Holtz ticket stamp, ticket die and distress inks, pearl brads and a doily. The rosette ribbon from my stash, has been dyed pink using Tim Holtz Distress ink, Worn Lipstick and Glimmermist.

Loving these colours!

We had a great day/night at Scottie Crafts marathon crop yesterday! This is one of the layouts I did based on this weeks sketch from Sketchy Thursdays. If you are looking for great sketches, pop on over here and check them out!

These papers, alphabet and the Martha Stewart punch all come from the wonderful, friendly Scottie Crafts shop!

My wee charmer is now 28 years old and certainly later went through some not-so-charming stages! But he was a gem of a baby, always happy and a smile for everyone! This photo was taken in 1983 when there was no digital and photos cost a fortune to develop! How I wish I had more photos of the kids when they were young! 

Fun challenge

This layout is a fun challenge I have done with my friend Karen. We had to use a Sketchy Thursdays sketch, a stamp (the little bird), a mask ( I masked and spritz the MS lace punch border) and a transparency.
I decided to use the the colour scheme, 'black with a splash of pink and green' to enter the monthly challenge at Deb's Creations.

Cheers, Sue x

SGC - Colour: Blue and Chocolate

I loved doing the DT layout for this fortnights challenge at Southern Girls. I felt like doing 'pretty' and wanted to use a few of the laces and ribbons that I collected while in Portland just before Christmas. On our way home we stopped off at San Franisco and I picked up the gorgeous heart and lace crocheted doily at Chinatown.

Pop on over and check out the other awesome DT projects and then join in for some awesome prizes!
