Create, Decorate, Celebrate Challenge

Hello Everyone!

For my last challenge at Scrapbook Challenges and as Christmas is fast approaching, I challenge you to create a Christmas tree hanging décor. You can use any materials from scrap papers, to unused items at your home, to old xmas balls .. anything! I’m sure once you put your mind to doing it, the creative side of you will just flow. (“,) Drop by at Scrapbook Challenges and join the fun!

Here are a couple of examples. I used round Styrofoam, glitters, rhinestones and stickles.

Can’t wait to see what you do! Have fun! (“,)

Movie Title Challenge

Hi there!

Have you ever wanted to use MOVIE or TV series/shows as titles?

Well here is your chance to create a layout or altered project or cards using your favorite movie or TV shows. It doesn’t have to be a new movie. It can be the oldest movie you’ve known or you’re kid’s favorite cartoon show.

So join us now at Scrapbook Challenges and have fun! Can’t wait to see your creations! (“,)

Here’s my sample layout.

I used ‘FRIENDS’ as title.

Twosome Challenge

Hello fellow scrappers! :) Are you ready for another challenge? Head down to Scrapbook Challenges and join the fun!

Well, this is sooo easy! All you need to do is make a layout, a card, or an altered project using just one picture with one adult & one kid in it. In addition, include at least one altered chipboard using the same patterned paper. Easy right? (“,)

So, here’s what I have done for the challenge. I altered the chipboard ‘boys’ using the same Lime Rickey PP I used on the page.

Can’t wait to see your creations! Have fun! (“,)

Future Generation

I manage to finish and upload this layout on time (I hope hehehe) for CJ's Challenge in CPCM - The Flower Power. The requirement is to include five handmade flowers in the layout.

The sketch I used is from Scrapbook Challenges but not sure of the sketch number. =)

The photo was taken last April 2009 when I visited my family in the Philippines and spent some great time with my niece and nephews.

Hidden Journal

Handmade flower - I cut this flower using a flower template. To add some dimensions, I scored the petals, inked the edges and added platinum stickles.
