August Scrapboxx newsletter

Wow! It's that time again and the new Scrapboxx newsletter is out already!

This month the design team girls had to do an interpretation on Expressionism paintings and after much searching here is the one I chose.....

and here is my version of it......

I am actually very happy with how it turned out! I had a great time playing with paints and glue and is so much different to my 'usual' style.
So go check it out and see the other fantastic layouts that the design team girls did....loads of inspiration in this newsletter!

I also did a layout for the "Camp Mojo" retreat I'm attending next year. They are doing montthly challenges to keep the mojo flowing!

This is the one for last month that was a sketch challenge......here is my interpretation of the sketch which I stayed pretty true to.

Unfortunately I didn't win but there were some fantastic entries from the other girls. There is a new one on now which is just about ready for voting so fingers crossed for me x

Some toots.....I had 2 lo's picked up by Scrapbook Creations this week and one for Scrapbooking Memories and one from Scrapbooking.com magazine for an article, (my first American publish!) No money though LOL! 

That's all for now folks!

Scrapboxx Newsletter is OUT!!!!!

Yeah! the new Scrapboxx newsletter is finally out!!!! With a change of ownership things have gotten a little behind but the lovely Jane will soon get it back on track!!!

Here is my contribution to the July issue......A Fauvism challenge! A what ? you say! It's a style of painting that many artists did  (don't ask me to name any either LOL!! - Google it !)

This is the painting I chose to interpret......

And here is my example........

I thought this was going to be a real struggle for me but once I got started I was on a roll and it was fun to play with paints again!

There is a challenge on The Boxx  to have a go at your own interpretation of a FAUVISM painting .

Would love to see what you can create and put up Here, you have until the 20th of August.

Have fun creating....I hope to get a little done this weekend sometime.......

Recipe layout for Scrapbooking Memories

A while ago, SM asked me if I would like to take part in a recipe challenge for the magazine, of course I said yes!

The ingredients were:
3 photos - tick
2 sheets cardstock - 2 shades of Kraft
1 sheet patterned paper - Prima paper
fabric - pink gingham
1 recycled or found object- shell
1 stamp - corner stamp
ink - always ink around my edges!
bling - prima crystals
stitching - machine around photos

Really happy with the way this one turned out and honoured to be on a page with so many talented scrapers !!

On Scrapboxx recently I started up a scrapping whisper. This is the Layout that it started with and then went down the line to several ladies who did their impression of it. The idea is to see how much it changes from the original to the end.

Have a great weekend everyone..........Thanks for dropping by.
