SCRAP ART IN THE SPOTLIGHT

Welcome to another week of Scrap Art In The Spotlight, where each week our team picks a layout in the gallery that contains at least 50% of Scrap Artist Product to be featured here.

This week I have found an incredible layout by Mil01, it just jumped off the page screaming at me "PICK ME PICK ME" lol just kidding.  But honestly this is such a cool layout.  Take a look for yourself you will see.

Isn't it just precious?   Lets leave Mil01 some love HERE .

CONGRATULATIONS Mil01, I will be in touch with you shortly via pm to organise your $5 Gift Card to the Store. 

Do you want to be in with a chance to win a $5 Gift Card to The Store???  Just keep posting your incredible works of art, using at least 50% of Scrap Artist product,  who knows you may be next!

Take Care & Happy Scrapping

Heritage and Altered/Collage Challenges

Howdy All,

Erika here with another couple of challenges for ya for Two-Fer Tuesday. 

Those of you that have browsed my gallery must have figured out by now that I am a big time animal lover.  Well, for this week's Heritage Challenge I thought we should pay tribute to our furry friends that came before us because after all, pets are people too, right? Let's see a layout with a photo of one of your Ancestral Pets. It can be any family pet at all: a horse, cow, pig, bird, dog, cat, reptile...well, you get the picture.  You can see more about the challenge here.

In my sample layout below I used the fabulous collab kit "Flight of Fancy" with our very special May Guest Designer Goddess...well, I can't tell ya that yet, it's a surprise but I guarantee you will LOVE this beautiful kit. Keep an eye out for it in the shoppe on May 1st.

For this week's Altered/Collage Challenge we are having fun with lots of layers. But there is a catch to this one...you must pick an element type - i.e. butterflies, fairies, hearts, stars, flowers, etc. and hide as many as you can in your layout. This is a great exercise for paying close attention to the details.  You can view more about the challenge called "Hidden Elements" here.

I chose to hide 3 little Fairies in my layout. Can you find them? 

I hope you'll play with us this week.  I look forward to seeing your beautiful artwork!

Have fun!

Let's celebrate!

Mojo Monday - April 28th

It's Kathy here with another Mojo Monday!

Today I'd like you to go through some old photos, and scrap a photo of "little" you.  We want to see you as a wee one.  I had so much fun going through a box of old photos my Mom had stored away.  It is amazing the memories that come flooding back when you take the time to look through pictures from your past.  Here are some childhood photos our creative team found....so sweet!

Here's little Kim

Here's little Gabi B.

Here's Emi

Here's a picture of me

So dig into those old photos, and scrap little you.  I can't wait to see your layouts here, and make sure you leave me a link in the forums so I can leave you some love.

Here's a freebie from our talented designer, Robyn England...thank you, Robyn! Here it is:

Happy Scrappin!

Feature Friday - Love me some Doodly-do

Thank God it’s Friday! It’s the end of another work week and today we feature some fun and cute doodles that are bound to bring a smile to your face despite a tiring day. We’re featuring Aja Abney’s {Not so Basic} Doodly-do. Aren’t these doodles just bright and happy?!

 

Here are some pages by our creative goddesses to give you some ideas on how you can use them.

Kim used the doodles as accents to this super girly bday page.

Jennifer showcased the doodles in this really cute and sunshiney page of her two girls.

How about we take a look at this fun fun collage page by Gabi? What a fun way to use the doodles, isn’t it?

Eva created this lovely hybrid page using the doodles by printing them out, sticking them and embellishing them further.

We invite you to pick up this set from the shoppe if you haven’t yet. We’d love to see what you’ve done with them so pls. upload your pages to the Featured Product Gallery so we can leave you some love.

Hope you have a great day!

Heritage and Altered Collage Challenges

Hello All!

Erika here for another Two-Fer Tuesday.  This week I bring to you a couple of fun challenges.  First off, this week's Altered/Collage challenge called "Altered Landscapes". I have two sample layouts to share with you this week; the "Reagan Farm" layout is one I did a couple of weeks ago that was so much fun, I just had to do a second one. As you'll see they are quite different from one another but both have altered landscapes (i.e. colorized trees and sky, added shrubbery, animals, etc) so the sky is the limit on this one to get as creative as you want.

Join me in the forum to learn more here

For this week’s heritage challenge, I'd like to see your family trees.

I chose to do my tree in chart form with photos and names but don't be afraid to get creative in how you connect your tree from generation to generation and feel free to include more information (i.e. dates, anecdotes, etc.)

If you click here you can read more about the challenge.

I can't wait to see your inspiring works of art :)

I hope you'll join me in the fun this week!

Mojo Monday {4.21}

Happy Mojo Monday to you fellow Scrap Artists! I’m thrilled to bring you this week’s challenge. This week, we draw inspiration from this web ad from CostPlus World Market.

 

I’ve noted down some things that caught my eye and inspired me to create this layout. Those were my starting points but as you can see, my layout kinda went a different direction in terms of color and framing.

My challenge to you is to create a LO based on the inspiration piece I’ve given. You are free to be inspired and interpret the piece any way you want. That’s the beauty of art, right? To inspire you even more and help in your creative process, Hope of Paper Relics designs is generously sharing these borders and banners. These were creatively inspired by our challenge too.

Thanks Hope! You may pick it up HERE!

Please do share with us your layouts by uploading them to the Mojo Monday gallery. We love seeing your different entries.

Before I end, the winner for last week's Mojo Monday challenge is Angelia with her 6th art layout ...

Congrats to you!!! Your Sakura kit coupon will be sent your way soon.

So, until our next challenge… have fun, make mistakes, get creative!!!
