Blind Scrap - August

The lovely Toni put us through our paces for the blind scrap this month. It is always amazing to see how differently we all interpret the instructions. Here is my take on this month's blind scrap.

August Cyber Crop - We're going places....

Another fun night was had by all. Loads of fun & games as well as lots of fantastic challenges set by our fabulous DT. Our lone male member also set us a challenge this month - a photographic challenge of an animal or insect.


For Terri's challenge we had to create a LO on a Travel Tradition using
1. a map somewhere somehow on your LO
2. metal embellishment
3. some journalling


Kym set us another fabulous sketch this month.


The lovel Megan set us a recipe challenge - a LO using the following ingredients:
fabric, buttons, rubons, stamps, chipboard and lace.We also had to include photo/photos of our travels!


For Marie's challenge we had to use:
1 - A photo of friends
2 - Shades of blue, Green and can use black white cream or craft
3 - A cut out black silhoutte image
4 - A map


For the 30 minute challenge we had to make a Travel Embellished Journal tag and have it uploaded in 30 mins. This then had to be used on one of our challenge LO's.

August Mid-Month Mystery Challenge

This month all the DT's ganged up on us, each having some input into the criteria:

This is a 2 part challenge :

Part ONE
So get counting girls - every individual stamp ...
A rak for the person with most stamps
A rak for the person with the least Stamps

Part TWO
And a LO stamp orientated ..Criteria as Follows No swaps allowed must be all your own work

Terri - alter an embellishment by stamping on it
Toni - use at least one stamp in the title
Kym - make a stamped journal block
Megan - use masking technique
Marie - One of your PP has to be a stamped background made by you ..

I have managed to amass a whopping 1091 stamps (including individual alphabet stamps) but was not the one with the most so did not feel so bad after all. I won't mention who had the most Marie and Irene or who had the least Sim and Kym.

More August Challenges

This month Toni asked us to make a LO using CIRCLES - polka dots, a round shaped base, circle embellies etc etc.

For Terri's challenge we had to use the following:
1. Use a large portrait style photo 5x7 or larger
2. Journalling about your chosen subject - at this moment.
3. Chipboard title plus at least two other types of chippy embellishments eg stars, numbers or bookplates etc.
4. Use alcohol inks to colour your chippy embellishments. If you dont have alcohol inks use paint.
5. I want to see masking or stencilling.
6. Use a Cuttlebug or similar to emboss CS/PP or chipboard - if you dont have a CB add some texture with some textured/lace or flocked cardstock.



Kym set us another fantastic sketch challenge.

Relaxing Sunday

Well it's been a while since I last posted. Today was beautiful 22C - not bad for a winter's day. We took my dear Dad out for a picnic to Nobby's Beach on the Gold Coast. The weather was beautiful albeit a little windy. After a lovely picnic lunch we sat & watched the world go by - surf, sunshine, families swimming, bike riding & roller skating. It was very pleasant & relaxing sitting with the wind in our hair.

August Colour Challenge

The lovely Kym set the colour challenge this month. We had to use teal/aqua, pink & white. A little black or brown could be used for stamping/journalling.

July Cyber Crop - Christmas in July

We had another fun night over at AD on 30th July. Lots of games & new challenges.

Toni's challenge - make a LO with NO DECORATIONS! Yep, that's right -- absolutely NO embellies at all. You can use as much patterned paper as you like, but it must be only cut into blocks or strips - no shapes, no flowers fashioned from paper, etc etc.
You CAN use whatever title you like, as big as you want.
