scrapbook capital is having their monthly cyber_crop this weekend. there are 3 challenges. good luck to those that decide to have a go!
challenge 1 – only use lime and lavender on your layout or card …
layout features my brother and his girlfriend. this was an interesting challenge. i didnt have a lot of embellishments in those colours. the title is chipboard painted with lime kaisercraft paint. i did have versa colour ink so i stamped a butterfly and used a stampin up ‘eastern bloom’ stamp. the heart is made out of felt. the prima flower (although it doesnt look like it) is lavender coloured.
challenge 2 – a sketch challenge
here’s my take on the sketch >>
[the 2009 royal adelaide show was on last weekend - it was a great day. will blog with more details later!]
challenge 3 – only use things that begin with the letter L
this is what i used >>
- lined background paper
- lace cardstock

i’ve been selected to be on the design team for scrapbook capital! to say that i’m excited is an understatement! this is the first time that i’ve been selected to be on a DT. it’s a 6 month position and i cannot wait to start! i look forward to working with the other 2 DT members, sharon and kylie and the boss_lady, lorrie.
