Scrapwhispers - Buttons! Its all about the buttons!

Remember that sneak peak I gave you last week when I showed my flowers I;d made from Rosey's fab tutorial?? Well, here it is. Not only does it contain the gorgeous flowers that we showed you how to make on our blog hop, but also the requirement of this weeks challenge. 20 buttons minimum on your pages. Difficult?? Not as it would at first seem. I recently found some teensy, weensy buttons by papermania and I've used 20 of them to frame the pic of DD, who incidently, absolutely must have her hair just like teacher, every day for school!! How cute is that! (BTW: teacher has since changed styles due to nearly every girl recreating her style on a daily basis.. but DD lives in hope it will go back to the side ponytail, bless her!) Anyway back to the challenge. So 20 buttons on your layout for this weeks, but don't forget we still have our dance challenge and our headshots challenge and of course, our blog hop. You can find all details here. To be in with a chance to win a gorgeous paper pack by crate paper you need to enter at least one of our challenges. :)

BLOG HOP!!!!!

It's time again for the Scrapwhispers blog hop, where every 15th of the month the DT members take turns in creating a little project, tutorial for you to join in with us. This Month is the wonderful Rosey's turn. Rosey has come up with some fab handmade flower ideas. I just love making handmade flowers, I think that they give my layouts and cards just that little va-va-voom... :0)Rosey has shown us how to make a flower using torn heart shapes, some perfect little daisies, by snipping along a strip of paper and simply rolling it into position. The ones I've made have come from scraps of Echo Park papers and I've put them onto a layout that you'll just have to wait to see (sorry!) I love how you can still see the pencil mark on my heart flower, just lifts it off the page a little bit more without inking the edge. Rosey has also shown us how to do these beautiful rolled roses. You long time readers will know that I adore these flowers and use them quite a bit in my work, but I've never torn the paper before. I am loving the effect it gives and that you can bend the petals a bit to make it more realistic. I've put these roses onto a box card, and again they were made from scraps of papers from echo park. To go with the torn theme, also tore some leaves, pinching them with my fingers to give them a veiney look. Heres the box inside the card. Its a good job, Mum doesn't read this blog or she'll catch a glimpse of her mothers day card, LOL :) I really hope you are having a great time hopping along with us, thank you so much for joining in. If you have been inspired to make these flowers, don't forget to link us up to your creations here, to be in with a chance of winning a gorgeous paper pack by Crate Paper. You can find the full tutorial at Scrapwhispers. Now its time for you to hop on and see what the gorgeous DT have created with Roseys wonderful flowers!!! Don't forget to leave some love on the way!

Question of the month; What is your scrapping style?

Personally I don't have any particular style, I generally just throw things onto a page and it seems to work, LOL :0) What is yours???

Scrapwhispers - Headshots

Scrapwhispers challenge this week... Head shot photos of PEOPLE. No objects or animals, only people. If you are anything like me, you shouldn't have a problem in finding a photo like that of a loved one of even one of those cheesy arm length photos... I can never manage that... always end up cutting someones face in half :) LOL My layout is another of DD and how we queued up for what seemed an eternity for her to get her face painted. She was queing and sat down on a bench, letting all the others go past her, til I figured out what was taking so long! LOL. But the result was lovely, the best face painting she's ever had... My little madame butterfly!

Get your groove on!

Its Scrapwhispers challenge time again! This week we are challenging you to be inspired by dance. Any kind of dance... Ballet, salsa, line dancing, hip hop, ballrooom.. whatever it is we want to see you shaking your thing! My layout is of DD learning some bollywood dance moves at school for India week. She looked so cute all dressed up in my old sarong - ahem! I mean Sari :) For this page I also followed the tutorial from Shimelle's 4x4 photo love at 2 peas in a bucket. What is making you move to the beat? Come and show us!!

4 minutes to find a lucky star

I am so late in posting this! (That seems to be a given these days) Scrap it with a songs latest challenge is a fun one. We have shaken things up a bit and we are now giving you the choice of 2 songs to work with over a fortnight. This fortnights songs are a Madonna medley, a battle of the decades, with "4 Minutes", the duet with Justin Timberlake, and "Lucky Star". I saw Madonna live about 5 years ago and it wasn't what I was expecting. It was ok, but not worth the mega amount of money the tickets cost. The photo I;ve used on my layout was taken from the screen in the arena. Photos were not allowed for the show. So which one which one will you choose? The eighties or the noughties? or both?? Have fun!!

Scrapwhispers - Minty Fresh!!

A fresh challenge for you for the beginning of Spring! This is our last challenge of this month so if you want to be in with a chance of winning a fab prize then get stuck in. All we want you to do is to create a card or a layout using the colours - Brown, mint green and white... Immediately my mind goes to images of Fry's peppermint creams. Mmmmmm! But thats because I can't diet for my life! :) So are you going to get fresh with us?? See you there!

Another Tiddly Inks shaker card

Here is the other shaker card, as promised. This Image from Tiddly Inks is called "Take me away" and this is what I am aiming for this very evening. A nice relaxing bubble bath. Usually my bath time consists of 2 little monkys who cover each other in the bubbles or one particular monkey who tries to climb in!! Inside the shaker part I've put a few clear dew drops. Some of them move but some are stuck.. I think they were a bit too wide for the foam pads I used. Never mind, I like the idea of floating bubbles anyway. Same as yesterday's card, I've added a little bit of lace around the frame and a few tea roses. The papers are MME Tickled Pink. The countdown to bedtime has begun so wish me luck for a bath like this one. :)
