June's Winter Cyber Crop

Welcome to our June Cyber Crop, this time we are taking our inspiration from winter... it's getting chilly here, but we are lucky to still be enjoying some lovely sunny days her in Perth..... so far anyway!

Please join us over at our Facebook chat page. we love to welcome new friends!  It's  private page, so just message me and I can add you.

Challenge 1 - Mood Board

Challenge 2 - Layer - Layer - Layer! 

Just like we do in winter!  Show me a page with lots of layers :) 

Here's is my take. I have layered papers, embellishments, the stars, and I have kinda layered media! My back ground is watercolour pencils (so much fun), then I've inked with a couple of stencils and topped it off with some splatters with a Kaiser-mist.

Challenge 3 - Use Winter Colours or use the word Winter on your page.

And here's Gypsy take...

I'm loving the most recent Cocoa Vanilla line- You Rock! in  the store and the blues and greys in this line are perfect not just for boys but also capture that wintery feeling. Seeing as this gorgeous dude turns six on Saturday I thought he better be the star of my page. Your challenge it to use blues, greys, or any other cooler tones to make your page or use the word 'Winter' as whole or part of your title. 

You have a week plus to upload your creations into the gallery - Here

June challenges

HI there, and welcome to our June challenges.  

Challenge 1 - Sketch Challenge
by Gypsy

 

This months sketch is super flexible with options for as many as six smaller portrait style photos on the page. You can flip it around if you have landscape photos to scrapbook. I'd encourage you to use some Project Life style cards and word art on this page- especially for your title. Here's my page...

I decided to go with three photos which I trimmed down to 8x11cm- ideally I would have liked them a bit smaller so I could have more space and more bits and pieces of patterned paper. This page is great for using up scraps! I've used the newest Cocoa Vanilla Range in the store- You Rock!

Challenge 2 -  Technique Challenge
by Donna

Hello, the technique I would like to see you use is Stitching.  It can be by hand or machine, little or lots, it's up to you.

Here is my take.

I've machine stitched a border and hand stitched the heart. I've used a mix lot of goodies from Mystical.
 Jillibean Soup Papers - Green Tara Flowers - Cocoa Vanilla Wood Veneer - WOW Chipboard word - Zing Embossing Powder - Kaisercraft Card and rhinestones


I hope you have fun with these challenges!
