NEW DESIGN TEAM REVEAL AT BLACK WITH TWO

Wow - what a line up we have for Summer - pop over to Black With Two and check out who has joined us - http://blackwith2challenge.blogspot.com.au/2014/10/design-team-reveal.html

October's Challenge is: Pink & Mulberry with 5% white on black background and the sketch to inspire you. Great colours and a fantastic sketch.

have fun everyone......

I'm back.....

Well, November last year was the last time I wrote anything on my blog.  My life has been super busy with work. February this year I was promoted to the position of Site Manager at Coles Express Boggabilla - stress central for about 3 months - and still is from time to time... but I am back scrapping again which is good.

I took two weeks off in August and headed on down to Wagga - via Sydney & Canberra - and managed to fit some scrapping in - finally finished 4 layouts from kits of Rachael Funnell's - totally rapt with how they turned out..

Well, I will catch you in a few days with some pretty exciting news.... stay happy everyone xxx

CHALLENGES

Oh my, where is November going???? - it will be over before we know it.... I have been so busy with work and especially tired - so much so, that I missed posting up the new Challenge over at Black With Two at the beginning of this month... sorry Eve :(  the Challenge is to use Black background with Cherry Reds  & Coffee Browns plus 5% white is permitted.   Here is my take on the Challenge:

and over on the blog you will see all the amazing layouts and cards created by the Design Team to use as your inspiration.

Another Challenge that has just started is on at The Scrapbooking Hut.  Hosted by Nicole Knopke, the theme is Reflections... you check Nic's Challenge out here.  I had heaps of fun doing this Challenge, as did the Creative Team. Here is my take on Reflections:

Hope you have a wonderful week or so - I am hoping to hit my scrap desk in the next few days (or at least after work each day) as Christmas is just around the corner and would like to get cracking on future Challenges that are coming up next month.  xxxxx

The Scrapbooking Hut's Monthly Challenge hosted by CT Member Shazza

Hi everyone
Over at The Scrapbooking Hut we have a new Challenge up - loved doing this Challenge which is hosted by Creative Team Member Shazza Bishop.
Here is my take on the Challenge - why not pop on over and see how the Creative Team have interpreted the dream catcher requirement and then join us - we would love to see some of your work. :) http://thescrapbookinghut.ning.com/forum/topics/dream-catcher-fun-oct15-til-nov-14th

On a personal front, I have started my training - OH MY, I just hope that the confidence management showed in offering me this position is rewarded by my ability to do the job.... at the moment it is very daunting.... but am loving it
cheers to all and happy scrapping

September already ??????

Hi everyone
nothing like being a week late to let you know about the new Challenge over at Black With Two... and I can now reveal my take on it... welcome to Spring. You may use the whole of the pallette but still, please, keep black as your dominant colour -

 

                             Dominant Black with your choice of a few or all these colours

I have also been busy trying to make a mark on my supply of kits - I guess one every two weeks is good going for me..lol.  Below is my take on a Jodi Dobell kit.  If you ever get the chance to purchase one of Jodi's kits, do so - they are awesome.

As most of you are aware, I own The Scrapbooking Hut and I am currently looking for a Creative Team to help me 're-build' The Hut.  If you think you would love to be part of such a great bunch of girls, pop over to the Forum and check out the criteria.  I would love to hear from you.
Have a great weekend everyone.
Cheers
Di :)
