Another from Pebbles

Hi Everyone

Welcome to my second post for this month!
This month the whole design team has been using the papers from the 12x12 Pebbles Birthday paper pad.

You would agree that we have seen some awesome inspiration from the team, all using such different ways to share a great paper range with you.

It is also so lovely to look to the right of the blog and to see layouts from you! Wow...they are amazing...all with different elements from the tic-tac-toe board. Thank you so much for joining in...we look forward to seeing so many more this month.

Remember the challenge this month is to choose your inspiration from the tic-tac-toe board.

You can choose horizontal, vertical or diagonal...whatever takes your fancy AND if you add some of the other elements...that is OK too!

I have created a layout using the diagonal - bling, celebrate and flowers and I am sure that these elements will be very obvious to you in my layout.

This layout is using a photo from my niece's 3rd Birthday.

A simple layout...but I wanted it to be delicate and sweet...I hope that I have done that!!

I sprayed the 'Coconut Kaisercard' with Heidi Swapp Colour Shine ~ Primrose.

I used a Kaiser template and some texture paste to add some inconspicuous texture to the layout.

How gorgeous is the Manor House die cut??? Jo has plenty in store.

I have used some Kaiser flowers and Kaiser Rhinestones for embellishments.

Here is a close up...

I have used the Kaisercraft Birthday Clear Stamps for my little birthday message.

I have just loved working with this collection of papers. They are so versatile, bright and bring lots of fun to my layouts.

Make sure you pop on over to the Scrapbookit Online Store to check out the great products that Jo has instore.

I hope that I have inspired you this month...even just a little...so that you can enter our challenge. I look forward to seeing what you come up with...you still have 9 days to get yours in!!!

Thanks for visiting...happy scrapping!

Morning everyone
I hope you are all getting to have a lazy sunday with lots of crafting time. I'm back to share some more pages I have created using the 'Pebbles' Birthday paper pad and a couple of layouts I have done using some of the new products in store.

Firstly a fun  birthday page , using the kit but I have used some new sizzix dies to create my bow and the circle journal tag.

My next two layouts I have been playing with some mixed media for my backgrounds, Lindy's Stamp Gang Sprays, Darkroom Door stamps, Kaisercraft stencil and lots of new Scrap FX stamps and WOW chipboard all available online.

 

I hope you are all working on your challenge entries? You still have a few weeks to get your projects in to be in the running for a great prize pack worth a min $35.

August Challenge is Up!!

Welcome everyone to another month and another challenge,

This month it's my turn to challenge your creativity so i thought I would try something a bit different.

This is a TIC TAC TOE challenge where you  must choose a line combination from the grid to create the elements of your project. ( You can also add other elements from the grid as well but you must comment which line you have used). I hope you have fun playing along. Entries need to be in by 30th August to be in the running for a massive prize pack so hit your stash or purchase something new to play with.

So I have created two layouts to show how this challenge can be interpreted in totally different ways. All the design team have been given a kit this month using papers from the same 'Pebbles' 12x12 Birthday Paper pad which is available at Scrapbookit.

My first page I have chosen the 1st column Teal, Journaling, and  Flowers. So I haven't actually journaled in a traditional sense but I have used the 'Captured Moments Sea Breeze' stickers from Kaisercraft,, I have made lots of paper flowers and some Kaisercraft Blooms which I coloured with some Colour Mist to suit. Added some washi tape and stamped flowers to finish it off.

 My second page I chose Bling, Texture, and Black& White. I have added texture with the Kaisercraft stencil ,modelling paste and black Gesso, FWAB Flourish and flower, washi tape, I have added a 'Scrap FX ' Word title, and cut the chevron embellishment from 'Tim Holtz' die. I also added some 'Manor House flowers

Just a reminder that the 'Scrapbookit Retreat' is happening again (you know you want a fabulous weekend away) on October 24th-26th at the Mountain View Holiday Resort Harrietvile. Deposits must be paid by the 30th August to secure your spot so get on to it .


Have a great weekend, and get crafty

Jo.
