It's cybercrop weekend at UPROAR

This morning I taught an online class on techniques with Cuttlebug embossing folders, as part of my design team gig at Uproar to Scrapmore. You can check it out here.There are card and scrapbooking challenges with prizes all weekend. Hope you can join us.

distressed?

Here's one of the cards that I taught during May, in a class all about distress inks. . I love the watercolour look you can acheive.

I got my official Tiger Team Blinkie

I'm so excited! I wanted to share my new blinkie with you. It's my design team badge. I'll be getting my first design team kit this week and I can't wait to see it. Thanks Dalena,

If you are interested in getting Blinkies made, or even a personally designed blog layout or header, check out STAR. She made the Tiger Team Blinkies. Isn't she clever?

My entry for ChrisW's weekly challenge at Uproar2scrapmore. The criteria were: Circle feature,multiple pics and some clustering. I hope the flowers count as clustering? Can you see me? I'm 3 years old in this photo. Another layout I did at my scrapbooking class this week. it is going to have strip journalling around the photos eventually, but I'm still thinking about the words.

That's my boy!

He's such a clown! I know it's gross, but I couldn't help myself- it just had to be scrapped.

Yay I stamped today!

Yay, I stamped today!

Today I finally caught up with my stamping friend and made a couple of cards. I was inspired by some gorgeous flocked papers that Kylie sent me as a prize for winning a Cybercrop blind challenge at Uproar2scrapmore. Stamps are from Kaisercraft

sorry I'm MIA

I've had a cold for the last week and it's hanging around. Not getting much creating done.

It was an exciting mail day though. ATCs from a "Flower Power" swap I was in, hosted by the very talented Renu, arrived today. Here's the whole set for you to ooh and aah over. They certainly brightened my day.

ATCs created by L to R, top row- me, Renu, Martha

Middle row- Faith, Cindi, Loretta

bottom row - Suzi, Patty, Terry

Movie Title ATC

can you guess which movie this ATC is about?

It's for a Movie Title swap at the Stamp-Shack. My friend Chris, in Canada has great theme ideas. I decided to go with the old Alfred Hitchcock thriller- "The Birds". Background is alcohol inks. Images from Inky Antics and inkadinkado

My how incy wincy has grown.

Remember the spider I showed you in this post, way back in February? Well, we've watched her grow, and boy has she grown. Check out the latest pic, taken yesterday.

I've been chosen for a Design Team!

Yes, that's my big news! I hope you're doing the happy dance with me.

I'm officially part of the Tiger Team at Uproar to Scrapmore. Dalena has asked me to be the Card making and stamping Guru (her words)..and I'm so flattered. The Uproar design team has amazingly talented scrapbookers (Lisa, Amanda, Kylie and Chris) ,who are so inspiring they got me started scrapping when I said I never would! I'll be doing monthly challenges and cybercrop competitions too. I hope you'll check out all the fun in the forums and the inspiration in the gallery, as well as Dalena's amazing special offers. See you there!

Entries close Sunday May 3rd, Midnight PST. oops, that's today people. get a move on. There are 14 other great challenges and lots of prizes on offer too.
Just checked out what midnight PST means for Australians. Apparently it is 19 hours behind Sydney time, so if you work thru the night, you can get all 15 challenges done. C'mon Aussie C'mon!

Blingy souvenir

I love my Bling, and wear a big blingy necklace most days. Here's my one and only blingy souvenir from my trip to Darwin.

Top is the front, but I think the back is just as pretty.
