Scrap Around the World

We have a fun event planned on Scrap Attack Scrapbooking, starting March 5th. I hope you will join us! There will be a total of 7 weekly challenges with the event ending on April 30, 2010.

Each challenge will be different in nature and will be inspired from different places around the world. All challenges will be posted on Friday evenings at 9 pm EST and you have an entire week to complete each challenge before the next one is issued! If you get behind thats OK too because all challenges won't be due until April 30th!

SSU 5, #3 Bring on the buttons

For the 3rd class we were to use at least 5 buttons on our layout. I used some MOD buttons I'd gotten from Scrap Attack Scrapbooking and attached them to the Kraft Kuts by Fancy Pants.

SSU 5, #2 Paper flowers

For SSU class #2, Nadine gave us tutorials for 6 different paper flowers, most of them using our scraps. I want to try them all! This is flower #1, using strips of paper.

SSU 5, #1 chipboard creativity

The Scrap Attack Message Board is hosting {SAS}sy Scrapbooking University. They started February 15th and are be posting a new tutorial every other night. The 1st class was Chipboard creativity - we were to use naked chipboard, embellish it and use it on a layout or 2 cards. I painted the snowflake white then stamped and heat embossed the flourish with silver.

February DT layouts

This month I worked with the wonderful line of "Bric-a-Brac" by Scribble Scrabble, along with some SEI Moravia, Prima, Rose Moka, Chatterbox and Hambly. Such wonderful colors - perfect for a variety of layouts. One of the fun extras in my Design Kit this month was some "Green Olive" Shimmerz Paints. I used it on the edge of the distressed paper, flowers, to create a border on the shaped cardstock, to darken the Prima Say it in Crystals "Devines" Gem Stems, change the color of the chipboard and to add a bit of shimmer to the alphas.
