Magic Card

Thanks to Joyce (UKS's 2magpies) for her video tutorial for making one of these cards. I've used an image I was given by a friend to make a card for a 5 year old.

SLYMI Week 29

Gosh, the year's going too fast! Scrap Like You Mean It on UKScrappers is on week 29. Shimelle has challenged us to 'scrap with 3'. She says "Three photos, three big accents, the number three, three patterned papers, three colours...whatever you want to pick, we better find 3 of it!"

How many 3's could I get on my LO without it looking wrong? Here they are:

3 PPs (Basic Grey)

3 Blooms (Green Tara)

3 Rub-Ons (Basic Grey)

3 chipboard letters/number (no idea what make as they were a present)

3 colours (red, green, brown)

3 in the title

I've Managed One LO

What on earth's happened this week? I've managed the grand total of one LO and here it is:

On UKS, the weekly challenge set by the Lavender Lovelies is this:

1. Since 1967, on or around Hans Christian Andersen's birthday, 2 April, International Children's Book Day (ICBD) is celebrated to inspire a love of reading and to call attention to children's books, therefore we would like you to use a fairytale / fantasy / or children’s book title theme for your layout.
2. Its April Fools day on April 1st so please 'fool us’, you could include some hidden journalling or maybe use something surprising on your Layout that wouldn’t normally be used for scrapping.
3. Also in relation to April 1st..... in 1891 the Wrigley’s Company was started , As a bit of a giggle please use something 'wriggly ' on your layout , this could be ric-rac or wavy lines maybe.
4. As it is hopefully going to become more spring like please use spring colours on your layout, these do NOT have to be pastel, but we are thinking along the lines of blues, pinks, greens, yellows, white etc.
5. To celebrate the clocks changing this past weekend to British Summertime please use a clock or time on your layout, the time can be within the journalling.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

So to summarise:

1. Fairytale / fantasy / or children’s bok title theme - 10 points
2. April Fools element - something not as it seems or hidden etc - 5 points
   
3. To celebrate Wrigley’s company starting on 1st April 1891 use wavy lines on your layout - 5 points
4. Spring colours (do not have to be pastel) - 5 points
5. Use a clock or time on your layout - 5 point

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

1. I've used one of my favourite books from my youth - The Famous Five
2. The white in the bottom right is actually the wire mesh used to repair cars, which I inked and heat embossed in white. There is also some journalling behind the photo
3. I cut the wire mesh wavy
4. I've used pinks, whites and blues with some red thrown in
5. I hand-cut the clock and set the hands to the year of the photo ('87)

Full marks to me for my team The Ruby Snippers. I just can't believe my family and I went to that wedding wearing so many colours between us, even matching the colour of our tights to our tops!! I cringe in shame!!! LOL

Magnetised

My sister Andrea has her birthday on Sunday and I had no idea what to get her until I went into a pound shop in Wisbech and found a pack of coloured magnetic pegs. I decided that I would decorate one for her and mount it on a chipboard surround, so she could still put it on her fridge. As a final touch, I've used the peg to hold some money so she can treat herself.

To make this I used:
Red magnetic memo peg - made by Home etc. of Birmingham
Chipboard
Spotted paper - K & Co Hopscotch 6x6 paper pad
Red pearlised paper (covering the back) - The Paper Cellar
Green spotted ribbon - free with Scrapbook Inspirations magazine
Blooms - Imaginisce, For Peep's Sake Butterfly Blooms (Charmed)
Brads - earthtone by Dovecraft (Charmed)
VersaColor ink pad (used to ink the edges of the chipboard) - No. 14 Scarlet
