What makes you angry?

This is the latest challenge on All About Me. There are planty of things that get me irked, like rude people, people who don't know how to use their P's and Q's, arrogant people (can you tell I don't really like people!?) but the ONE thing that really gets my blood boiling is being ignored!!! Thats the thing I really cannot stand and drives me demented. When I talk and someone ignores me, when I am in a shop and its like I am invisible, when I am asking someone to do something.... I could scream! So you better leave me some comments ... or else... LOL!!! I did this layout without a photo because its really not too pretty when I do get angry, I did alot of masking and did the dry brush in acrylic paint thing. It was meant to look a bit like the fires of hell, but is more acme hell. The paint was too bright and pearly, but I think it says what I wanted it to say. What makes you angry? go and check out the challenge. BTW: There is also a DT call so go check that out too! Kel x

Scrapwhisper Challenge 52

Scrapwhispers challenge 52 is up over at the blog! This week we want to see the colours Purple and Turquoise on your layouts/cards/projects! Gorgeous colours and perfect for any wintry photos you more than likely have. Though I chose these colours to represent water on my "Urban Beach" layout. In August last year there was an Urban Beach in Liverpool city centre. There were hook a duck stalls, trampolines and other rides along with this little beachy "island" in the middle. The kids loved making sand castles and jumping in the sand. I made the background of this layout by painting a section of bubble wrap with pearlescent blue acrylic paint and then pressing it down lightly onto the cardstock. I then took a dry brush and dabbed the paint around the edges. The paper is Cosmo Cricket from the Snorkel line and chipboard buttons from Smirk. Come and show us what you create!

C4C19 - Birthday

I am trying to get as many cards done as I can and I am turning to all the fabulous challenges out there for inspiration. Crazy4challenges is hosting a birthday challenge. This Sugar Nellie stamp arrived yesterday. It is so sweet and a joy the colour. After all the colours of winter its been refreshing to use bright and fresh colours for this card. The "Happy Birthday" sentiment is from a pack I got from Lakeland many moons ago. Papers are Basic Grey Lemonade. Pearls, brad and flowers from stash. If you are needing to stock up on birthday cards check out the challenge! Thanks for looking.

CCT All new

Cute Card Thursday's challenge this week is "All New". This could be any thing that is new. So my card is made up of completely new things. The stamp, Daisy wth pram from Sugar Nellie, arrived yesterday morning (so, so cute!), the papers I got from the sale at the paper mill (MME bloom & grow AGAIN!) and the ribbon was given to me a while ago but I havent used it before (ok, that may be cheating just a little, lol). The card is for my sister who has just had my little Nephew, Cian, who I just cant wait to meet... once all this snow and ice decides to clear! Enjoy your weekend x

Get Geeky

I have found another new challenge blog Nerdy *Victorious* Scrapbookers, Or NVS for short. The whole site looks like a whole lot of fun and inspires you to embrace your inner nerd! LOL Here is the collage that the nerds have set for inspiration. Very chic and rock glam. I tried to pick out as many elements of it as I could for my Layout but without it being too obvious. This is my layout for the challenge. The photo is of me, my cousin Sarah and her friend Louise trying to sqeeze into a photo booth when we were all around 15-16 years old. Check out my glasses.... Harry Potter eat your heart out! LOL. As soon as I saw the huge glasses on the girl in the collage I knew I had to use this photo...(though there are many, many more... *cringe*) Even though there was a only a hint of red in the collage, I wanted to use it to make this standout. The Basic Grey Lemonade paper seemed just perfect for this photo. The title is just all about us trying to be chic when we really were just Geeks! :) Material: K&co Hopscotch girl, Basic Grey Lemonade, WeRMemory Keepers photo anchors, brads, waxed thread, Papermania alpha stickers, epoxy shapes. buttons, paperclip. Let out your inner geek and check out the challenge! Thanks for looking x

Lemon and Lime

The colour challenge over at Colour Create this fortnight is Lemon and Lime. Lovely, fresh and warm, much needed at this freezing time!! So this is the card I made for this challenge. I used Basic Grey Nook and Pantry and June Bug papers, a Whiff of Joy stamp some flowers from my stash and a Laura Ashley brad. A little glimmer of sunshine.... if only... Keep warm, wherever you are! x

Scrap whispers "Stars and Spikes"

Scrap whispers is back!! The first of the weekly challenges are up and the theme is "Stars and Spikes". You can interpret this however you want. Here is my layout for this challenge, my first as a member of the amazingly talented design team! (Said with a little squeal of excitement!) I chose to do my layout on a spikey hair do I once sported. I had gone to a spanish hairdresser armed with a photo of the singer Dido, and when I came out.. well, this is what I got. Toni insisted this suited me better. I only wished he had decided to tell me first! LOL. I actually liked it, lucky for him! :) Come on over and join us in the challenge and be in with a chance to win an awesome prize which grows over the month!! The main whisper game is also due to start soon so why not sign up to play this fabulous game? If you have no idea what I am talking about, check out the Scrap whispers blog here and you will get all the rules and info you need. Look forward to seeing you there! :)
