Technique challenge at Scraplounge

Love using Masks?? I do .. This month over at Scraplounge why not join is with the fun and do our Technique Challenge! The challenge is to create a Layout with Fabric on it. I used lace and a crochet border  on my layout along with some yummy embellishments and the awesome Dylusions mists. I love glimmermist but these mists are more vivid. Using masks on your page also makes your page unique. You can create your own back grounds for any theme you may choose.  I hope you can pop over and try out one of challenges on the Lounge. Hope to see you there..!

Thanks for looking xx Trace

February Sketch Challenge

 As a part of the Creative Team on Scraplounge each month we have a sketch Challenge ! I love sketches I find them such as easy way to scrap because all the hard work has been done for you all you have to do is put the papers together along with your twist on how it should look! With this sketch, which was created by Crece Thomas, we also had to use some fabric on the page. I used a beautiful ribbon as a high light on mine ! These wondeful new Kaiser craft papers were also a treat to use . Why don't you check the Sketch Challenge out and do it for yourself. A wonderful prize is up for grabs as well. See you in the lounge!

 

This is my take on the sketch! Thanks for looking :) Happy Scrapping!

2013 A New Start

 

Hi Everyone .. Its been some time since I have blogged but due to health problems I put everything on hold until I recovered. Well recovered? .. not yet.. but getting there... I promised myself I would attempt to keep my blog updated this year, So here I am with my first blog for 2013.

I have been asked to join the creative team for Scraplounge . This is very exciting ! I look forward to creating layouts for the lounge along with hoping to enspire others with their layouts and projects throughout the year

First up for January we have a sketch Challenge created by Crece Thomas. The is no theme but you must use ephemera on your page.

 

 This is my take on the sketch .. I used a flyer from the location ... It also a great way to keep information about the favorite places you visit when on holidays.

This is the technique challenge on Scraplounge. Once again using ephemera ..I used my Keith Urban tickets...  Hope you like this post and look forward to seeing what you come up with over at Scraplounge..  Trace xx

Scrap Lounge Challenge

This is a layout I did for Scrap lounge .. It was for there monthly Sketch challenge. I used the new Bo Bunny papers - Weekend Market ..

Patty Cake Cases Layout

Just wanted to share this layout I did using Patty Cake papers .. these are mini patty cases I picked up from Spot light .. by folding them in half I tucked them behind the circle paper on this layout and along the bottom. What an effect this is . I love it. Renee Iveson has told me about these patty cases and she has done a class at my shop with them as well. I used A2Z Scraplets chipboard and of course ZVA bling flourish.
Thanks for looking.. xx Trace
