Bright Scrapping Paper Challenge

About 3 weeks ago my friends Gayle & Brooke of Scrap 4 Fun handed me two very bright sheets of scrapbook paper and said.  Make something.  Can be whatever you like.

Now as a non scrapper I just sat and looked at the papers and thought, "mmmm they are bright".  I was really stumped and I needed whatever I made to be fast.

Lucky for me our local cheap shop was selling some laser cut trees & look what I made.  The flash did something to the colour it is much brighter in real life.

 and on the back I used some Christmas papers so the tree is usable all year round.

so Gayle & Brooke, thanks for the challenge, I hope I passed.

A scrapping challenge

As you may be aware I am  NOT  a scrapbooker.  In a past life I did stamping & card making, but I don't consider myself to be a Scrapbooker.

However my friends Gayle & Brooke from Scrap 4 Fun issued a challenge to make 4 greeting cards from a range of 4 double sided scrapping papers. { LUXE Cocktail dress series included papers called "Martini:, "Manhattan", "Cosmopolitan" & "Mojito" they were all designs in olive green, red, black & white. (I didn't think to photograph them before I started.  Maybe Gayle will pop the photos onto Scrap 4 fun}

So I set to work with the most out there design of the lot. And created "Be Unique"

 

Then a lot of fiddling and deliberating resulted in "Believe"

 

While the prettiest fabric paper of the lot resulted in "Leave a trail"

 

And then because the cocktail theme of the pages would not leave my head I created "Birthday Cocktail?"

 

(Shame about the shiny flashback)

So all in all, it was a bit of fun & yes it was a challenge.  Hubby is glad I don't scrap all the time as our table is covered in tiny bits of paper.

Thanks Gayle & Brooke it was only fair I take your challenge after trying to convert Gayle to a patchworker.
