Dead Leaves Cybercrop

Friday, February 27th, 2009

dead-leaves-cybercrop

6th March – 8th March

 

We are very excited to announce that  Aida Haron will be out Guest Designer for our CyberCrop!   Aida is an amazing scrapbooker – based in Singapore she will be online having lots of fun with us.

 

So Book it into your diaries girls!  


Since March is usually a quiet month; Christmas and New Year over, the kids settled in to school and Easter still ahead of us, we thought this would be a great opportunity to record the usual, day to day things that fill our lives. It’s not about celebrations or big events; it’s about
scrapping the everyday

Scrapping doesn’t have to be about celebations or achievements of great events. It can be scrapping for scrapping, for art, for relaxing or for connecting with others

So gather up all those unscrapped photos, jot down your list of daily activies and think about the ordinary stuff, the very fabric of your life, as we enjoy the little things together!

Design Team Product Review

 Product Review - MeJiMoo Brad & Eyelet Guides       

By Kellie Harrison


 

Have you seen these MeJiMoo Brad & Eyelet Guides? They take away the need to measure how far apart your stitching or brads and eyelets are.  “They’ve done the math so you don’t have to”. The one shown here is the ‘basics’ guide. 

All you need to do is lay the guide over your work (with a cutting board underneath) and pierce the acetate where you want to insert a brad, an eyelet, or stitch.  I have two of them, and I love them. 

There are a number of different designs available, if Alita hasn’t got them in store, ask her to get them in for you.

I have used the ‘Flower’s’ guide for the layout below to do the green and blue ‘swirls’.

Scrap The Boys

Tuesday, February 10th, 2009

We are sponsors of this months challenge at “Scrap The Boys”

Make sure you drop on over and check out the fabulous entries already in and why not have a go??

 

FEBRUARY CHALLENGE CRITERIA

We have had an overwhelming response to the first challenge on Scrap the Boys…with over 40 layouts entered…the winners will be announced in the next few days…be sure to vote for your favourite layout in the Poll (closes 4th midnight) as one of the winner will be from your votes, one will be a random draw and there will be one voted by the CT.

As the weather gets hotter and the days are still long I was thinking about how much time my boy spends outside (not enough for my liking …but still) and thought that this months challenge would revolve around the great outdoors…

So I would like to see you create a layout with the theme of “THE GREAT OUTDOORS” so I want to see boys doing what they do outside…there is also a technique criteria to this months challenge I would like to see you use stamping on the layout somewhere …

Design Team Product Review

Monday, February 2nd, 2009
Design Team Product Review – By Tanja Westwood

 
Today I am reviewing the:
BASIC GREY PRECISION FILE SET.   
 

I have had my file set for quiet some time now and I wouldn’t do with out it.
It comes with 6 files (round, half round, square, knife and two file boards) all featuring a pink rubber coated grip for comfort and ease of use. 
It is perfect for distressing chipboard, plastic, paper or metal with fantastic results. What I love most about it is how it gets into those tiny grooves and spaces when I have covered my chipboard with patterned paper.

Each file in approx 14cm long and come in a convenient carry case, which is about 18.5cm
I highly recommend it. It is a real must have for any serious scrappers tool kit.
