More July Challenges

Terri gave us pieces of the puzzle - we had to use, leaves, flowers, scalloped edges, stitching (real or fake), rectangles and our own handwriting. I was very pleased with the way my cluster of cut work flowers & Prima Autumn leaves turned out.

The Scraplift

The Original:
Toni's challenge for July was to scraplift one of our own layouts - not as easy as you might think. It really made me look at the layouts I had done previously.

For Megan's challenge we had to create a card or a layout using the 'serviette technique'. I used a Domestic Goddess serviette & the cling wrap technique to adhere it to my card stock. It is featured in the lower right corner of the LO.

July Sketch Challenge


This is my take on the sketch challenge set by the lovely Kym over at Artistic Document. I have used a sequence of birthday photos of my son.

July Colour Challenge


This month's colour challenge - black, green, white and blue.

I have done another digi lo using 'Tag This collection from Kaiser.

Christmas in July


This is my embellishment for the Christmas in July swap we are having at Artistic Document.

Shaped ATC



Over at Art we are having a 'shaped' ATC swap. The card can be any shape at all as long as the measurements from point to point are 2.5in x 3.5in. This is my shaped ATC - birdhouse.

June Blind Scrap


This was a part of our June cyber crop. Blind scraps are so much fun.
I have used Kaiser Off Shore papers for this LO of my father & my husband overlooking the ocean at Point Danger.

June Cyber Crop

Last Friday we had another fantastic night of cyber cropping, fun & lots of games over at Artistic Document. The theme for the night was "Games". We played Bingo, had a treasure hunt, a guessing game & lucky numbers. Loads of laughs as usual. The challenges flowed.

Toni's challenge was based on the Game of Life.
-- use the word LIFE in your title
-- use a series of photos that show a progression
-- use either pink or blue as your main colour (you can use any other colours you like)
This is what I came up with. It is a digital LO using Kaiser Tag This papers. Here is my take on the challenge - my grandson learning to climb the equipment at the park.


Terri's challenge was based on Snakes and Ladders a game based on ups and downs!
1. at least 3 arrows - representing ups and downs
2. 6 squares - the maximum spaces that you can move
3. Number/s in the title
My grandson was fascinated with the stairs at the back of our house when he came to visit. he lives in a lowset home with no stairs.


Kym's challenge:
*take inspiration from a game or puzzle
(i have used puzzle pieces)
ie: scrabble (letters on blocks)
crossword puzzles
checkers (checkered pp)
playing cards, ETC!!!
*and/or use bits and pieces from an old
board game, etc...
*use three or more colours...
So for this one I used a large playing card that I had in my stash (thanks Marie it came in handy) and a photo of aone of the showgirls encountered on our trip to Las Vegas


Megan challenged us to remember -
So just how far back can you remember? Or what is your favourite memory as a child?
To complete the challenge you need to include pictures, or photos, journaling, distressing and inking - the last two can be optional!
My memories go way back to spending time at the Gold Coast where my grandparents lived. We spent weekends & holidays at their home.
