November challenge!

Hi there! It's a new month and a new challenge here at Stuff2Scrap. It was my absolute pleasure to set the challenge for this month so I'm hoping you'll enjoy what I've come up with. For this month, I thought we'd get a bit messy so the criteria for the November challenge are:

(1) Paint - but wait! No brushes, sponges, etc. Use your creative hands to get paint onto your layout.

(2) Stacked chippie! This is a great way to use up varying sizes of the same design or combine totally different chipboard patterns, pieces and styles to create something new.

(3) Song lyrics - these can either make up your title, your journalling, or just a line on the layout somewhere. Any song you like is fine, from nursery rhymes to your favourite rock anthems!

Our Stuff2Scrap creative team have been busy getting their hands messy to bring you some inspiration for this month's challenge.

First up is Chantal's "Park Life" layout. Such a fun mix of patterns and colours!

Next up is Anita's super cute layout. I love that she has used her little boy's handprints as the hand painted element on this great layout.

Below is Chris's absolutely stunning take on this month's challenge, particularly for those who love lots of flowers and layering.

Below is Rachael's fantastic layout. I love the bright blue - it's really a show stopper!

There is more to come from the team this week so stay tuned. My own layout has experienced some "technical difficulties" thanks to my mischievous 7yo so after some tweaking, my layout will be up later today.

I hope you can join in as we've had a lot of fun with this challenge and I'm sure you will too! Be sure to post a link to your blog or gallery so we can have a look at your creations. There's nothing we love more than to see everyone's takes on the challenges and as you can see from the layouts above, everyone's take is different so why not share yours?

Have a great day and happy scrapping! Lucinda xx

A Happy Sunday

Hello there blog followers - I really hope you are all having a wonderful Sunday ..... 

This is just a reminder that you only have a couple of days to get your entries in for this months challenge ....  you can find all the details right here as well as find some wonderful inspiration.

Talking about inspiration - I received an email the other day from my great friend Courtney Bendall.  She had created a gorgeous layout of her little princess with our little man and so I thought I would share it with you all. 

Courtney has used the Stuff 2 Scrap title "Best Friends" as well as the new chipboard mushroom that will hit the store very soon.

Well that is all from me ....  Keep your eyes peeled for another great challenge next month as well as some new goodies .....

Until next time

A big Stuff 2 Scrap bumper share for you!!!

Hey, hey, scrappers!!! LOTSO chippie here, all from Stuff 2 Scrap's store.


Here I've used Leeann's Up, Up & Away Balloon - in the pack you also get two clouds - but I've already used them on another project LOL. This one has been given a lick of paint and once dry, an outline in black marker (a Sharpie)! :D


The rest of the chippie is left naked (yep the "full monty") - I really like the look of it against the cardboard's Kraft colour! I've used Leeann's Retro Grass Border (small) here - I've cut it in half to frame the bottom photo. The pack also includes a butterfly, flower and heart - which are all on there too. :)

My background is actually vintage cards cut out and glued onto glittery cardstock, then swiped with black paint! Fun!

and my last share for the week...



Yep! Another double... LOL!

Here I have tried to recreate the feeling of a well-loved cookbook for my cooking themed double layout! I have used a paper bag, bakers twine, little teeny tiny post-it tags, bread tag and gingham ribbon to help tie-in this theme too.


There's lots of random splatterings of dimensional craft paint on there too... love that stuff! :D


I just loved using Leeann's scallop border (large) from Stuff 2 Scrap's store. In one pack you get a set of 2 scalloped borders, each measuring approx 300mm in length and 50mm in height. One border has no holes and the other one is with holes (more holes can be placed by using either a crop a dile or anywhere hole punch). I stuck rhinestones in mine! Another funky chippie design by the awesomely talented, Leeann Pearce.

I've really enjoyed sharing my creations with you all, and don't forget about our October challenge here! There's still plenty of time left!!! :D

TFL!

Hot Wheels! :D

G'day scrappers! Don't you just love it when a layout just "falls" together so easily? Well that's what happened to me for this layout; I was sooo stoked to already have all the elements I needed in my stash when I wanted to do this one...


SO lovin' Leeann's Flame Border chippie from Stuff 2 Scrap's online store. Those wheels are really burnin' rubber!!!...


Also check out what I did with one piece of "Ann's Story Block #2 - Stars"...


Here I've cut it up and used one third under my title, disected the nested stars and stuck them down the page. The other piece is underneath my journalling block. All pieces have just a small bit of white paint on them, just as a li'l highlight. :)

BTW - Don't forget about our October challenge! All the deets are here! :D

TFL!

Every cloud has a silver lining... :)

...well they do on this layout! :D

Hey everyone, I'd like to share with you all this layout using Stuff 2 Scrap chipboard...


So here I've been using Ann's Rainy Days Chipboard from Stuff 2 Scrap (these come in a pack consisting of 2 rainbows and 4 extra clouds)...


I gave my gorgeous S2S chippie rainbows and clouds a silver lining treatment using a mercury silver Galaxy Marker by American Crafts. These rainbows and clouds are totally awesome value, and are really versatile! I love how clouds and rainbows give a whimsical feel to my projects. I'm a huge fan!


I really enjoyed making this layout and I hoped you enjoyed my share!

BTW - don't forget our fantastic October challenge right here!!! It's such a beauty!!!

TFL! :)

It's "Ann"other double layout!!! (There's no stopping me!!!) ;)

Hello there Stuff 2 Scrappers! :D I am so bursting for Summer... it's my favourite season of the year! So in lead up to this sunny season I've scrapped a very "Summery" layout!

My double layout (yes I'm at it again lol) is called "Celebrating Summertime", and if you click on the image it transforms from small to humungous! lol! :)

For my background, I covered cardstock with vintage sheet music paper and then I swiped it with white paint and then sprayed it with glimmermist.


I LOVE this chippie! These super cool corner chippies you can spy here are Ann's Geo Corners (Large) by Stuff 2 Scrap. Designed by Ann Lederhose, you get so much for your dollar with this collection. Well worth a look - just click on the link. :)


I have left this chippie raw and just cut it up a little to suit my layout...


Have you tried chippie borders like this before? They are definately one of my very favourite scrappy items... ever! They really give an extra dynamic feel to a layout and, left raw, they really do tend to "balance out" bright and "poppy" colours.

TFL!
