Cyber Crop at Scrap Boutique

This is the layout for the "Roast Dinner" challenge and is for the album of my daughter's wedding which took place in 2005. I would not have thought I putting this page together like this and am really pleased with the result. The photo is small but I like it - far better than the 4 x 6 colour photo I had planned to use for this page of the album. We had to use a 5 cm x 28 cm piece of non-traditional scrapbooking item behind the photo and I chose to use two strips of packaging tape with had white stripes in it. For the title we had to use three different alphas. Also the three different sized butterflies was a requirement along with the pleated ribbon which I had never done before.

Cyber Crop at Scrap Boutique

This past weekend I took part in a cyber crop at Scrap Boutique which is a forum I recently joined. I liked two of the challenges. One was a sketch and the other a "Roast Dinner" - it was like a Blind Scrap where you are given the list of requirements and then the directions of where to place things on the page but you don't get to see the hosts sample page until after others complete their pages.

This first page is what I created for the sketch challenge and is for an album of a holiday my family took way back in 1996. The background paper behind the photos is a photo of hot coals I found on the web and printed out.

The Nut

I took advantage of a challenge on the forum of Ideal Papercrafts to get another page done for my Tasmanian Holiday album.

I enjoyed making the distressed circle "flowers" as I had never made these before.

Layout which won me a prize.

This is a layout for a mid-month challenge at Ideal Papercrafts which I won a prize for.

The challenge was a Recipe one. We were given a list of things to include on our page as follows:
Two patterned papers, one plain cardstock, a piece of lace cardstock, 8 brads, two ribbons ( I placed a yellow variegated one over a brown one), 3 rubons ( the flowers ), an alpha ( hobart ); three pieces of chipboard ( the arrows).

I was happy to get another page put together for a holiday we had in Tasmania back in 2007.

Prize won at Ideal PaperCrafts

It is so exciting that this week I won a voucher at Ideal Papercrafts for my "Two" layout which I have shared below.

Then today I got a message to say I won last month's mid-month layout prize so I will share that layout after I post this. For that I receive a prize ( scrapbooking supplies)

Cyber Crop at Ideal PaperCrafts (formerly The Scrapbook Estabhlishment)

For this challenge we had to use an envelope, fourishes and some bling.

I had not scrapped this photo of my granddaughter taken on her 2nd Birthday so I used this challenge as incentive to do so.

The journalling reads:
Imogen celebrated her 2nd Birthday over in Canada with her parents and some of her Dad's family.
Once again Grandma was not there to celebrate the day.
Imogen's Mumma and Daddy gave her a toy camera.

For this challenge we had to use Monochromatic colours with only one added accent ( I used the gold) and we had to have bling, rhinestones or pearls ( I chose pearls ) and a photo corner.

I hope to eventually make a matching page on which I will do lots of journalling about our celebration of my parents 50th Wedding Anniversary which took place in May 2002.

The group photo has their Bestman ( my uncle - Dad's brother) and Bridesmaid (my cousin who is only 10 years younger than my mother)
