Challenge #7 - Layout with a Shaker Box

Lets create shaker boxes.  They are so popular right now and we all have sequins and fillers and foam tape so why not give it a go.  It can be any kind of shaker you can dream up and it's a fun interactive element on your page.  

For this page I used a gradient circle die to create my shaker and put my title.  It's hard to get it in action for the photo but you can imagine it right?

STASH SCRAPPING

Change those KITS up for FALL.

Pull out a bunch of FALL products and photos and get ready to scrap! 

Remember Back To School, Fall Fests, Leaves and Fall Color, Halloween, Thanksgiving, Fall Harvest etc.  

Time to start working on those themes and revamp our boxes for the next couple of months.

We're BAAAACCCCKKKK........

 

 It's Spring, well almost!  So I would love to issue you a challenge.  This one will be a scrapping challenge!  It will go until the end of May.  

Create one layout, quick, easy, small, large?  Just one layout a week from now until May 31st.  Don't buy anything new for the layouts unless of course you need adhesive, because without glue it's just a pile of paper, pretty as it may be.  

It's simple there are no other rules for this challenge it's wide open!  When the end of May comes we will have 11 completed layouts which for me will be about as many as I've done in the last 2 years.   Woo Hoo!  Also we can share our creations at the beginning of June and applaud each others accomplishments!

Happy Scrapping!

November Stash Scrapping - Should we continue????

STASH Scrapping!  November

I have added the points page at the top of the blog.  Be sure to update your scores for October.  I will add November this week.

OK so this is the deal we need to scrap more, we want to scrap more, and to use up some of our stuff to make room for new we HAVE to scrap more.  Cards just ain't cutting it.  So I propose we each make a Scrapping Kit similar to a Kit Club for each Month.  (ie. Start now for July's first crop.)   Using nothing but our STASH.  Meaning no purchasing new product for this challenge.   We will share our Stash Kits the first Wednesday.  Then we will share our progress with the group, here, on your own blog or even in person at the crops.  I will create a Tally Board.  For Layouts you will get 5 points per page, 3 points for a Project Life Page,  for cards you will get 1 point for Mini Ablums/Altered items you will get 10 pts.  And if you finish up your stash for the month you will get a bonus 25 pts.  We will do this for 5 months and in November I will issue prizes for the participants.  To participate just leave a comment on this post and share your first monthly kit with us either in person or online.

Your kit should contain the following:

Patterned Papers - 10-12 (12x12 sheets)

Specialty Paper - 1-2 sheets (ie. vellum, die cut, mirror, metal etc.)

Cardstock - 6-8 (12x12 sheets)

Alphabet Stickers, Sheets or Chipboard - 1 full set or 2 partial sets

Other Stickers - 1 full or  2 partial sheets

Paper Embellishments - 6

Dimensional Embellishments - 10 - 15

Ribbons or Fibers -  3 yards

Felt

Sketches - 3

Photos - 10-15

Any tools, stamps, paint, ink, glitter etc.etc.etc. you choose to use on or in your kit do not have to be used completely to earn the 25 points they are just there to help you.  Obviously you will get more points for more difficult projects.  You can always add more cardstock and consumables but the above list must be used in order to earn the 25 pts.   If you ou are not a scrapper and do not have photos you can trade that entire item for 10-15 stamped images you have to either have 10-15 stamped images or 10-15 photos not a combination of both.  Also I'm not counting smaller scraps we can discuss that on Wednesday.

Stash Kit Example -----

This is an example of a Stash Kit.  This was my July kit.  I can take this with me to the 2 crops I go to a month and always have something to work on.  As well if on our Wed. crop night I am in need of something to do I can pull out the Stash Kit Box and work on these items.  

I love this from of Scrapbooking.  It makes me want to use my old papers and scrap my old(not so great always) pictures.  It's time I started getting some layouts done.  I finished 5 pages last month which for me is more than I finished all of last year.  This month I have at least 6 planned along with my 16 swap card and any others I need.

I hope you join us in the Stash Scrap Challenge.  If you do just leave me a note and I will add you to the points page.
