Scrap Around The Clock June CyberCrop ~ challenge 4

4th challenge on our cybercrop was set by SaraB and she challenged us to:

Create anything that is 80's related and to include:

Bright colours ~ yellow, pink and turquoise

Fabric or ribbon ~ 2 lengths of ribbon near the bottom

Some kind of stitching ~ fake stitching around the main PP and I've stitched the buttons on

Any stamped image or sentiment ~ I've used a corner stamp on the 2 right hand corners

Something relevant to the 80's ~ photos are printed from the net and lift to reveal more journalling relating to them.

I've also followed a sketch by sketchitout, but couldn't remember where I saw it. I couldn't find it on her blog to give credit where credit's due, so e-mailed to ask. I've since found it and it's the current challenge on Creative Scrappers blog ~ Sketch #51. That will teach me to only print the picture and not the details!!

Thanks for looking,

Take care, love and hugs,

Playtex Moonwalk, Secret Stash Strokers and A Playfight

Yep, you read it right, those three really do go together. Monday on UKScrappers, it was the turn of the Secret Stash Strokers to set the weekly challeng and here's what they said:

This year the Playtex Moonwalk took place in London on 16th May. 
The Moonwalk, is one of a number of charity fundraisers which raises lots of money for breast cancer research. (see www.walkthewalk.org for more info). We are basing our challenge around this event. 

use feet in your layout, a baby photo, sports day, a walk or some favourite shoes etc = 10pts
something round for the moon = 10pts
ribbon = 5pts
something pink = 5pts

I've chosen to scrap a photo of my eldest nephew and my niece playfighting with their feet, a round frame highlights their feet, ribbon is under the quote at the bottom, and I've used pink ink, buttons and lettering.

Full points again to me, my team the Ruby Snippers and house Gold Eyelets.

Roll on getting my camera back or a new one :)

Let's Hear It For The Fab Four and A Card Almost Revealed

Last week's challenge on UKScrappers, set by the Norty Crew, was to use

* A Beatles song title - 10pts

** Either black & white or Red,white & blue - 10pts

***Ribbon, a tree or a weaving technique - 10pts

I've used a photo that was taken about 20 years ago. I had taken the son of one of my cousin's to meet up with a child my youngest sister was looking after. We decided to take them to a local park and they kept running off ahead of us, hence the title. The journalling reads "No matter how many times we shouted it, you'd still run off ignoring us!"

So, the challenge:

* I've used 2 songs 'Wait' and 'Slow Down'

** Colour combination was easy as both boys were wearing red, white and blue

*** Nearly forgot the ribbon, so added some around 2 sides of the photo

I reckon that's all parts of the challenge met, so full points for me for my team Ruby Snippers and my house Gold Eyelets. The title was designed on my ROBO, cut 4 times out of 100gsm paper and stuck in layers.

I nearly forgot, I made a card a few weeks ago for a friend of mine and had hidden the sentiment in the corner. I said I'd reveal once she'd received it. Well, she had her birthday yesterday and the card arrived on time which is a miracle for me this year!! But, I can't show you the card in it's entirity as I only saved the hidden version of it!! What am I like???? lol  So, you know who you are HAPPY BIRTHDAY FOR YESTERDAY. I hope you had a fantastic day.
