There is a new challenge at Scrap Africa and it's a fun one! Create a project that includes a list with at least 10 items.

I created a layout of #guesswho and made a list of her favourite things: movie, song, food, etc.



I used paper from the new Nest Collection by Webster's Pages, as well as All That Glitters. {gasp} What gorgeous collections! I am still waiting for Strawberry Fields and Ocean Melody to hit the South African shores.



Flowers are from my stash and the list was created with my label maker.







Hope you see you join us!

Today I want to share my first DT project from Scrap-a-Doodles, possibly the largest scrapbooking retailer in South Africa.

I received an abundance of supplies from them and was asked to create a layout and a card, both of which are being displayed this weekend at Hobby X in Cape Town.



For my card I used the following supplies:

Paper:
Core’dinations Tim Holtz – weathered wood
Core’dinations Tim Holtz – walnut stain
Bo Bunny Souvenir – Vacation
Bo Bunny Souvenir – Journey

Embellishments:
Spellbinders Nestabilities – Heirloom Legacy
Oricraft decorative lace tape, self-adhesive – doilie
May Arts velvet centred ribbon with crochet edges – rose/ivory
Prima Marketing – Delight collection – wood buttons
Graphic 45 – French Country collection – die cut chipboard tags
Bo Bunny – Madeleine collection – brads

I used Core’dinations Tim Holtz – weathered wood, as the backing, trimmed to 19 x 30cm, scored and folded in half.

Next I die cut the large frame and small frame from Bo Bunny Souvenir – Vacation, using the Spellbinders Nestabilities – Heirloom Legacy.
The oval was die cut oval from Core’dinations Tim Holtz – walnut stain, using the same die set, and the edges distressed and inked.
The die cuts were layered and adhered to the top left of the card.



I fussy cut elements from the bottom right of page of Bo Bunny Souvenir – Journey, distressed and inked edges and adhered to the bottom of the card.

I also added a piece of Oricraft decorative lace tape, self-adhesive – doilie to the left of the layered die cuts and bottom right of the card and a piece of May Arts velvet centred ribbon with crochet edges – rose/ivory to the top right of the card.



I added the following embellishments:
Buttons from Prima Marketing – Delight collection – wood buttons
Chipboard tags from Graphic 45 – French Country collection – die cut chipboard tags
Brads from Bo Bunny – Madeleine collection – brads



Finally I fussy cut some of the Scrabble style letters from Bo Bunny Souvenir – Vacation for my title/sentiment and adhered them to the top of the card with foam squares.



I will be uploading my layout and a tutorial tomorrow.

If you are in Cape Town, come and visit the Scrap-a-Doodles stand at Hobby X and see the rest of the Design Team's gorgeous creations.

I am so excited that Hobby X finally came to Cape Town and I get to enjoy it tomorrow in all its splendour.

I was lucky enough to win 2 tickets through a Facebook competition by Washi Tape / Cotton Candi, one of the stands I will definitely be visiting.

And of course I can't wait to meet my DT co-ordinator at the Scrap-a-Doodles stand.

Watch this space for updates!

Today I'm sharing my DT layout for the latest sketch challenge at Scrap Africa.

I interpreted the sketch quite literally, using Faber-Castell gelatos and Enmarc Dazzles to create the background on watercolour paper.











And check out this awesome sketch! Doesn't it just make you want to pull out your best beach photos and create something awesome?
