Scrap Happy Kat ~ July Challenge Pack & Layout

Good Morning

Well another month comes and goes!! Before we know it, it will be Christmas ( I know I swore).LOL

In the month of July I was given a lovely opportunity to do a monthly challenge for the gorgeous Kathie over at ScrapHappy Kat. Kathie blog link is here: http://scraphappykat.blogspot.com/

The challenge was set by Kathie to complete a page using the papers and embellishments sent to me. I couldn't display this til the end of the month, so without further ado, here is my take on the monthly challenge pack sent out. I used my sketch from the Challenge Chics cyber Crop weekend.

A layout of my two little darlings (Curtis & Dakota). Its called "Believe" well really she believes in him in this case of the photo.

Thanks again Kathie for this lovely arrangement of goodies, I really appreciate it and I hope you can come over the the new site to do some challenges yourself and win something of me.

Thanks for looking at my creation.

Mwah & Hugs Angie.

August Sketch Challenge Competition

Good Morning Ladies

Below you will find the Sketch design for August and also my take on the sketch as a preview. I will endeavour to get a better shot of the Prize pack today sometime when weather is better. So keep posted!!!!

How you interpret the sketch is initially up to you. You can choose what ever Papers, Embellishments and Theme you like.

All I ask is that you follow the sketch and keep in mind the outlay of it all. You may choose to mirror it, flip it, turn it on its side or even make it a double. The list of possibilities are endless, so go forth and create.

Please find the attached files below to peruse for the sketch, my take and prize pack. Submission & Cut off time:

Please submit your entries onto the site here in the Album provided (AUGUST SKETCH CHALLENGE) or to my email address scrap.n.art@hotmail.com by the 30th of August 2009, this will allow ample time for the judging to take place in the slide show area and the winner will be announced on the 31st of August 2009.

Keep up the great work ladies and I look forward to seeing your sketch creations.

Kind regards

Antoher Challenge Chics layout completed for the month

Good Morning Ladies

Just a quick update regarding a layout I've completed for the Challenge Chics. This layout was for Star's (Amanda) challenge to create home made flowers.

I used a retro flower punch on P/paper and then bent them into a shape and layered them. The layout of my darling Dakota and I, she is just so photogenic and why I called the layout "Smile and the world smiles with you"

Sorry for the poor quality of photograph taken, the weather is awful here today:(

Thanks for looking, until next time take care.

What happened to last week. LOL

Good Evening Ladies

Wow! What happened to last week. LOL Another busy one for me here at home and on the creating front. Many challenges were set last week for me to complete, both in scrapping and creating new Ning site for the home of Scrap.n.Art

We also had family visitors arrive on Friday morning so, my whole weekend was put on hold for entertaining etc etc.

One more week of School holidays then back to normality (fingers crossed). Its been great though having the time alone with my son on the days that my daughter goes to Pre-school, good quality time with him, because I don't get that anymore whilst his at school.

He has a fine technique that I have discovered in Scrapping, will have to post his layout up soon. I admittedly cut the pieces of paper into shapes, but the rest is his design. Not bad I say for a 5 yrs old. lol

New Ning site is launched as of today, I have been a busy little Chicky creating up a Storm on Photoshop for banners etc and creating the site the way I want it, but a very rewarding site I have and very proud of myself for taking Scrap.n.Art to the next level. Feel free to pop over and take a look for yourself, I hope you too enjoy yourselves there and show off your creations. The link is on the right hand side of the blog.

I have a couple of layouts to put up in the next day or so for sites that I have created, so keep posted for them.

Anyhow better get off here and do some more work, where ever you are, hope you and yours are safe and well and I look forward to catching up with you in soon.

Good Morning Fellow Scrappers


Wow! What a eventful week I have had, I didn't plan for it to be that way, but it certainly kept me on my toes!!!


Firstly I wanted to share with you how excited I am about my son Curtis who has been given a Privilege award at school for positive attitude and achievement with his school work, such a proud mum I am of him and he is being rewarded next week with the other fellow students for a day out in Coffs Harbour of bowling and luncheon:) YAHOO GO CURTIS GO!


I have been busy creating new banners for two of my sisterhood scrap buddies Deb and Taryn. Debs banner can be seen below and I am still currently working on Taryn's, so hopefully that should be up on the SSW site shortly.



I have had an eventful week prior to the last as well with my mojo returning (got love that), but also the fact that there are some wonderful sites out there with fabulous challenges to get the mojo working again.


I participated in Deb's Creations monthly challenges and layouts can be seen in previous posts.


I have also completed challenges over at Ready Set Scrap for the month of June Challenges and last night I had an email from Nat the site owner saying that I had been selected the winner of the Themed Challenge created by the lovely Lexie (YAHOO) See my layout below its called Winter in Japan.

Thanks Lexie for selecting me I had so much fun doing the challenge and really at the end of the day, its not about the prizes it about stepping outside the square and challenging yourself, but also I would like to thank Scrapaddix for the gift voucher supplied for my prize.


This weekend holds the July Cyber crop over at the Challenge Chics. Lisa Kamphuis is running a fantastic weekend with lots of challenges, prizes, games and chatter. We kicked off officially last night at 7.30 pm QLD time, its was a fabulous night with Challenges set, laughter and chin wagging.

Fifteen ladies there at one stage all on the chat laughing, creating and general chit chat we also had some new faces there also which is always lovely to see. The Cyber crop runs all weekend, so pop over and check out the challenges and games!!!


Apologies to the ladies at SSW for not having my Technicolour - T challenge up at the moment, mainly because the new POSTIE decided that someone 5 houses down the road wanted my DT pack more then ME!!!! GRRRRRRRRR So I will be in the process this morning of creating up a storm ready to place the layout and challenge requirements up in the forum this afternoon for you, thanks for being patient.


Ok saying all of that, I must get going and start creating, I hope you all are having a fabulous weekend, hope the weather is warm for you where every you are and keep smiling.

Mwah & Hugs Angie xox
