ROUND ONE

Projects from our Australian Scrapbook Apprentices are in! This round's challenge was:

• Create at least 1 Layout, 1 Card & 1 Off the Page project using the products enclosed. You may use plain card/paperstock as well as florals and limited effects (embossing, inking etc.). Your theme for this round is "Christmas in July"

To see all of our apprentices' work and the judges' thoughts you will need to pick up
issue 21 of docrafts Creativity! Magazine (find your local stockist here).
Here are our winners and notable entries for round one!

* When voting, please note: the judges want to know your opinions on the projects submitted, not just who you think is awesome (though we certainly know why you think so)! Only thoughtful, constructive and applicable comments will be considered when judges convene and also to decide our "peoples choice" for round one, so tell us which projects you liked, which you loved and which you thought needed a little bit of something extra (and what you think they needed).

Finally she scraps.......

So its been a few weeks since I have actually created anything remotely scrapbooky, but the dam has finally been broken and today I scrapped. Yay, not my best, but its cute, its got the ball rolling and hopefully there is lots more to come.

I actually did this for a challenge over at the colour room challenge site. Pop by and have a go sometime, really great colour themes and great sketches to get your creativity flowing. Let me know what you think of this latest creation people, i really need the feedback.

Mel's butterfly canvas descends on Perth......

So ladies i know we all love butterflies, who couldn't, so when Julie Van Oosten from Collections Elements asked me to make some samples for her for her booth at SIA recently, one of the first things i fell in love with was her new printed butterfly prints. The first thing i made her was a very simple very cute little butterfly specimen canvas.

The pictures above are of the second version i made of this gorgeous canvas. I had the pleasure of teaching this canvas to a group of amazing ladies at Scraptivate this last Sunday just pasted. They all had a really great time as they created their own little butterfly Masterpieces.

Seems this canvas was a fave of so many people that my humble little canvas was taught all over this fair city this weekend just past. It also happened to be taught to a rather large group of ladies at WA Create over that weekend as well. It is such a lovely feeling to know that people out there really appreciate the work I do, and there is no better compliment than that of others wanting to re-create it for themselves. Its really lovely to know something i created, and that people loved some much, is hanging in homes across or wonderful city.

New Collections Goodies.

I have been working away behind the scenes again this year creating new work using all the new Collection goodies that are released at SIA today. All the goodies are available at Scraptivate as we speak, so get down there and grab some of these gorgeous things. Here are some of the new chipboard goodies that are available.
