A2Z March Challenge and Winner of my Feb prize

Hello, hope this longweeked (in W.A) has been filled with relaxation and crafting. First up the winner of my blog prize for those who entered the A2Z Feb Challenge. And the winner is...........

 

 

BUFFY ESSER

 

 

Congrats to you!!!! Email me at scottfamily45@bigpond.com with your address and will send out your prize!!!

 

 

Now for this months challenge is a theme challenge and its:

 

 

SUMMER

 

Yep summer is over for us in Australia so lets remember it with layouts. We are looking for the fab photos that are summer, the beaches, pool, playgrounds, harvest (well I am a farmer lol) and any summer sports. But hey, no photos??? No worries do a layout with summer colours, the blues, yellows and greens or any colour that shouts SUMMER. Or maybe a layout that has both!!!! Its up to you. As long as we can see 'SUMMER' that's fine. And if you have no A2Z scraplets no worries you can still enter. But if you do would love to see how you use them. The challenge ends on the 31th of March at midnight Queensland, Australian time.

Now due to one child keeping me up all night I have not finished my take on the challenge. When it is I will post it.

Head HERE for the A2Z blog. We had 13 people enter last month, lets bet it this month!!!!

Thanks for looking

Another take on the A2Z Sketch Challenge

Hello scrappers. We are, roughly, half way through the month and have had 7 people enter the A2Z February Sketch. Still loads of time for you to enter. Plus you don't have to use A2Z Scraplets!!! And remember if 10 followers of this blog enter you will have a chance to win a prize back from here!!! 2 chances to win some scraplets!!! 1 follower has entered, 9 more to go.

Here is my new take on the sketch:

As you can see I have used some fab A2Z scraplets

For the title I painted with gesso, then with red paint, then stamped a pirate flag on the word good. Have also used Prima flowers, Handmade Halo charms and resin and Scrapbooking in Geraldton twine.

These Christmas balls come as a set of 4. First I laid them around the page and misted with a shade of green. Then I gessoed, painted and added these fab micro beads that I got from Scrapbooking in Geraldton. Love the beads and can see myself using them heaps!!!

Here you can see some of the misting, and the resin reindeer from Halo

Now for a reminder of what the sketch looks like:

And for the prize pack that could be won from here:

A2Z New Release :D

I can FINALLY show off the new release from A2Z Scraplets. The best part.....you can buy straight from the website!!!!!

First up if the new flourish.

Isn't it fab!!!! I just painted it with 2 green colours. For the butterfly I inked and embossed it then added drew drops on the body part. Added some resin flowers, charms and drew drops from Handmade Halo and have a garden look.

I used a Crafters Workshop with texture paste from Scrap Everything and some glimmer mist for the background, given it a garden/raining look.

Next we have......

The new word 'Living On The Edge' and 'Photo frame'

I had a bit of issues with the title til I found these photos and turned the title into a longer one

I painted the title like Sophie's face, starting with the white, then yellow and last orange. I then used a stencil from my kids stuff for the black lines.

The photo frame I just painted black.

Used a Charm Creation mini runner and Handmade Resin through out the layout.

Next is.....

I have done a no photo layout, ready for later in the yr when we go on holidays.

I painted the chairs aqua, then lightly painted over with white for an age look. I covered the umbrella with 2 different paper and painted the handle like the chairs.

Will that's it for now. Head HERE for the scraplets shop to buy all the new release and have a look at over 1000 over chipboard's

Don't forget the A2Z sketch challenge for this month AND the added bonus of if 10 of my followers enter I will be giving away A2Z Scraplets on by blog for those followers that entered!!!!
