Christmas Online Crop Challenge with Two Scrapbook Friends


Christmas is coming near and Two Scrapbook Friends wants to celebrate with an online crop.  Friends and Design Team have some cool challenges and games for you to play.

Here's my challenge - "My true love gave to me..."
  I am sure many of you know the famous Christmas carol of The Twelve Days of Christmas. This carol dates back to the 1600s, and have sparked a tradition that many people around the world follow each year of giving gifts to someone you love for 12 days before Christmas.

 

Inspiration: Birds Of The Twelve Days Of Christmas - Make a page with at least one ornament in the shape of a bird (bird on patterned paper is not acceptable) unless it is cut to form like an ornament.


My true love gave to me, two cardinals and on my layout, I added two cardinals; representing my two paramount sons.

I hope you will play and don't forget to upload your creations in the forum and gallery.  Be sure to check out our Design Team and the friends' challenge in the forum. 




Happy Scrappy!

Crafty Challenge: Timeline .... with Two Scrapbook Friends

Good Morning,
 
My challenge is for you to create a timeline of important events in your life or the life of a loved one over a certain period of time and include bits of memorabilia or journaling notes on your tag or in your bitty bags. This could be a great strategy for scrapbooking multiple experiences over a period of time for which you might not have enough photos or memorabilia to create individual scrapbook layouts.

Here's my creation, "Morning Daily Routine".    I got this inspiration from Creating Keepsake magazine.  I used a variety of fun embellishments to this layout.  I added Maya Road bottle cap from make n' take at Scrapfest.  I used washi tape, Maya Road star pin, brads, rhinestone gems, twine and all the neat embellishments that you may see on my layout.  You may notice small black dots on each bitty bag.   I used black Viva Pearl Pen.  By using this amazing product; pearl pen you can create a wide array of beautiful projects by applying large or small pearl drops to your page or altered project.

Use the theme of time passing for projects, such as ..
*An advent calendar that includes ideas for festive Christmas or Hanukkah activities or journaling about favourite traditions tucked inside the bags.
*A countdown to a much anticipated special occasion such as a wedding with tasks or activities left to do peeking out from each section.
*A chore chart to help organize or document the tasks children do each day to help out around the house.

Have fun and get creative! I cannot wait to see what you come up with. Be sure to upload your creation in the Two Scrapbook Friends Gallery.





Happy Scrappy!

Make a Wish!


The first layout was inspired by ScrapMuch November week 1 sketch.  I have used papers from MME and October Afternoon to this layout.  I used thickers alpha and added some aqua glitters to thickers.  I also combined this sketch with a challenge; frugal embellishment by DT Ann at Two Scrapbook Friends. You will notice a cupcake next to the title,  I cut out a portion of household cup cake liner.
