I am currently working with the Divas as a Design Team Member in the Fun Techniques/Products group. This group focuses on how to use different techniques and trends in paper crafts to really make your pages and cards pop! Everything goes in this group - glimmer mists, stamping, sewing, distressing, inking, and more! On Mondays I try to feature one "design house" (scrapbooking company) to introduce you to lines of products you may not know about. The rest of the week is dedicated to tutorials, tips and discussion. My first challenge was devoted to the beautiful flowers of spring, entitled "In Bloom" and focused on pages & cards with handmade paper flowers. Here's a look at how some of them turned out:
My Entry:
This month's challenge is inspired by the royal wedding and is called the "Something old, new, borrowed, and blue" challenge. On your next layout, use...something OLD from your stash. Use a NEW technique you've never tried before. BORROW a layout (scraplift) from a friend or use a sketch from a website, and finally, use the color BLUE somewhere in your project.Thanks for stopping by - let's head to Pam's blog next!
You have the neatest challenges! I love the pop of color around the sepia picture!

I finally finished it! I watched 2 movies while doing it and one of them was The Sound of Music. Now you know how long it took! But I haven't spent an evening of creativity for a long time. It was my Mother's Day gift to have the eve on Sat and then the afternoon on Sunday for "my time to create". I will post on the board at CSDivas!
ReplyDeleteBoth layouts are beautiful! Loved participating in your challenge. :)
ReplyDeleteHey there, Steph! You should hear from my teenager soon; he just loves scrapbooking. I'm more of an easily-awed onlooker because my hands are tied to current undertakings. But you'd be surprised at how my son became such an artist via scrapbooking.
ReplyDeleteA few years ago, they had a school project called "portfolio of dreams" where he was given excellent grade. It's mostly scrapbooking and so I took it as another "rebellion" from him to use pictures and art instead of words - he's bent on being off my shadows as someone who writes :)
But boy, my boy! He's so good at this stuff. A year later, he was invited to write for their school paper and join a competition on editorial writing. The creativity and discipline he showed at scrapbooking IS with his writing, as it turned out. LOL!
To date, he still does scrap books on WWF, his fave bands and dance crews, even his younger bros. I got one - really special - on Mom's day a few days back. Time for the hankies :)
Keep it up, Steph!
