New Papers from ...

Authentique

 

 

This range of Christmas papers are beautiful. 

Heavy 12 x 12 papers and wonderful stickers, great for making gifts for presents. 

Would be good for boxes, pockets, envelopes and of course 12 x 12 layouts. 

Check them out over at Scrap Box NZ.

 

Hope everyone had a great Labour Weekend!

 

 

Missed deadline !!!

Scrap Box NZ's last Sketch Challenge had a great amount of entries - hope the The Scrap Box NZ Great Christmas challenge get's just as many.  I know you are all busy and trying to fit it all in, sometimes we put things down to come back to later.

That's what happened with Nic with the last sketch challenge.  She cropped her layout and saved it, thought I'll send it later and did other things.  Forgot to send it and missed the deadline!  I wanted to share it with you, because as you can see below, she has done a fantastic job!

I love seeing how you all interpret the sketch - thanks Nic and sorry you were late - it's great!  By the way she submitted it the next morning when she remembered and I said I would share it.  I then went off and did other things and forgot about it - till now!  Don't put things off!  Do them when you remember, or write a note to remind yourself otherwise they may not happen at all or you could miss important deadlines !!!

Have a great Labour Weekend everyone!

Now that's a worry !!!

No Comments - I hope I haven't scared you all away!  Jo & Mrs Frizz were looking forward to the Christmas Challenge and now that the projects are revealed - No Comments!!!

Card challenge winner

Congratulations - Jo Eden

 

 

Well done, love the detail with the handstitching and punches.  The little duck is so cute and as I soon as I saw your card, made me think of spring.  I will email you shortly with the details of your $10 voucher. 

 

Have a great weekend everyone!

Spring Card Challenge entries

Thanks for entering and will be back shortly with the winner!

Good Luck!

WOW - Finally Decided!!!

Great to have so many layout to choose from - but wow makes my decision harder.  Love how you all interpet the sketch differently with the subject you choose to use.  Some of you are very clever changing it around too.

Winning layout is:  Trudie Trillo

 

Congratulation Trudie - really please you took the plunge and entered.  This is Trudie's first time she has entered any challenges and wasn't too sure how to submit it.  I love the white space you have used and can see some glimmermist, doilies and washi tape.  Great subject to use for the sketch.  Well done!  I will email you shortly with the details of your $20.00 voucher. 

Thanks to everyone who took part and really hope you will give the "Great Scrap Box NZ Christmas Challenge" a go.  $50.00 winning voucher and spot prizes throughout!

 

Nearly the end of the challenges for this year !!!

Great that we got so many entries - although that makes it hard to choose the winner.  Still deciding so will be back later with that winning layout.
 
Next challenge will be placed on the 15th October 2012.  Let you all enjoy the School Holiday's and use that time to put your thinking caps on.  On the 15th I will reveal to you

 

The Great Scrap Box NZ

Christmas Challenge

 

 This is going to run for six weeks - finishing on the 25th November 2012.  I know you are all busy, so I've come up with the idea of doing three different things (maybe a layout, off the page & card or something like that), but the difference being you will be given all three challenges on the 15th and they are to be completed by the 25th.  It's time management and all up to you.  If you want to get them all done early and emailed to me that fine.  Spread them out and take your time, or be like me and leave it all till the last minute and panic that you've not going to get them finished.

 

Keep popping back here to the blog and see the hints that I will give you and more information on how it will all work.  Hope it doesn't scare you off and you are all keen to have a go.  This will be the last challenge for the year.

Sketch Challenge Entries

Some people out there must have been busy recruiting people to do the challenges. If that's you - thank you so much - Yay!  Last challenge I had one entry from Brenda and this time I've got EIGHT entries.  Thanks so much to you all for entering and especially those that haven't entered before.  A couple are new to challenges all together and this is their first time submitting a layout.  Hope the bug catches on!  Good Luck to everyone!

Just in case you forgot what the sketch looked like - it's below, along with your interpretations of the sketch.
