Recent Scrapping

These are a collection of challenges from chookscraps that I have completed over the last month or so.

The first is a baby shower card and the challenge was for it to have dimension. There are many layers and the 3 photos are popped up with foam dots. The shower theme was purple so I wanted to incorporate that and the stamps are meant to show - pregnancy, baby shower, then the baby is born!

This was a LO for the continuous challenge at chookscraps. I really like my photoshopped photo but I do think I will try scrapping it again one day. Although I might be getting a new engagement ring as this one was not that quality and the stone fell out so I might have an entirely different ring to scrap next time!

I do really like this last one. Little bit of photoshopping to make the bride stand out. Criteria for this challenge involved fairy tales, hence the 'happy ever after' in the title.

The Countdown Begins

10 days until my Engagement Party!

Well, my winning cupcakes are now up on the Robert Gordon blog so you can see how they compare to the other winners! I think I will have to whip up some more cupcakes soon as I have been too focused on cookies lately! Although my current focus is on Engagement Party plans of course. I am getting there and handcrafting a few things but there still seems to be never ending shopping to be done!

Meanwhile here is a sneak at something I am preparing for the party, courtesy of Martha Stewart.

Another win!

I seem to be having a bit of luck these days with my blog winning. I have just won a custom monogram from Poppiseed Designs through a competition on Polka Dot Bride. I chose this one as Phill and I will be married on his Dad's small vineyard.

Now we just need to settle on a date! Thinking early November 2011.

Robert Gordon Win

So, I bought a couple of these delightful teacup and saucer sets from a local shop (as they went with my pink, white and black collection) and decided to look up the maker, Robert Gordon. Robert Gordon also has a blog and that happened to have a cupcake competition running when I looked on there. So I entered with my easter cupcakes and ended up being one of the winners! All the prizes shown here have been sent to me and it is all gorgeous! Have already used the cupcake tree and can't wait to use the rest of it!

Masterchook Final

Well, Masterchook is over now at Chookscraps, and here are my last 2 entries. I didn't make it into the final but you can view the final layouts here.

Monthly Challenges

A new month means new challenges on the blogs! I am going to see how many I can get done this month from Bons and Chookscraps. I have already completed the Write Now challenge over at Bon's.

My Write Now entry

This arrow was embossing gone wrong but I kind of like the effect, almost looks a bit like crackle paint. Think I had the gun too hot and / or too close!
