Challenge 58 - All About Me!!

Hi all, my challenge for you is LISTS and YOU!

What I mean by that is it's a new year and that time where everyone seems to make resolutions to better or change themselves!

My challenge is to be kind to yourself, see what's already good about you and celebrate you!!
Create a project that shows a clebration of you!!!

I used Sarah's Teal, Pumpkin & Black inks to create this journal page:

Now check out what the rest of the fabby team have created:

Claireliz

I used papers from Sarah's Tinseltown, Oz, & Vintage Halloween collections. My favourite things are listed on journaling cards in a mini faux envelope.

Claire C

I've had a printer crisis this week but i've used some scraps of the gorgeous papers from Tinseltown to paperpiece the dress, wings and crown for the fairy on the cover of my 'All about me journal'

Jaine
I made myself a desktop calendar using the calendar pages from the Tinseltown CD.  Of course this is my page about 'Me'  - March, my birthday month.

Emma

I made a scrapbook layout, using backing paper from Sarah's Wonderland CD. This layout isn't directly all about me but it is all about my favourite actress ~ Audrey Hepburn and features one of my all time favourite quotes and definitely some words that I always live by.

Elaine

I used Oz papers and ticket for my scrapbook page about the gorgeous rare butterfly that visited my garden last year-I raise Butterflies and they are a huge part of who I am. 

Jess

I have made a memory page of our first cat Baby Blue.  I used a Postage Stamp Embellishment and Argyle Paper from the Christmas Cheer CD, and Ticket from the Oz CD.

Melly

I made an 8x8 layout using the Oz papers and pictures I printed from my wee Polaroid Pogo Zink! Made some easy bunting from the papers and added a wee quote I found online!

Lisa

I have used a selction of cream papers from Sarah's Christmas Cheer CD, but I have made a non-Christmas project. Not a card (which is unusual for me) but a wall hanging which uses all of my favourite things, techniques and styles. I also managed a little journalling around the edge of the top right panel which is out of my comfort zone but I really enjoyed.

After all the dull winter days, I fancied something bright and cheerful, backing paper, precoloured decoupage and sentiment all from the Woodland Whimsies CD

I used the cute gnome from the Woodland Whimsies 2 CD and flower stamps from the Woodland Whimsies stamp set.

(Tack means thanks in Swedish)

Challenge 56 - Sponsored by Limited Runs Digis - Colouring

Thank you for joining us for our last challenge of 2011!

The winner will receive their choice of 4 Limited Runs digis.

Here is the inspiration from me and the Design Team

Sarah 

I wanted a little break from making Christmassy things so  I used the Limited Runs 'Morning Glory' digi coloured with Promarkers, with some of my Tinseltown Papers (these papers are for life, not just for Christmas!)

Claireliz

I used Sarah's Tinseltown houses & Santa stop here sign, along with the 'Santa's Stuck' image from Limited Runs digi range to make a wall hanging, I coloured them all in with Promarkers & glued the chimney pot images (complete with Santa stuck in the chimney) onto the  houses. I used red & bakers twine to hang them together

I added white Stickles to the roof & chimney pot to make the snow all sparkly.

Elaine

I used a mix of papers from Tinseltown and Oz and the 'House 1' from Limited Runs digi I coloured with Flexmarkers to make a CAS new home card.

Claire C

I've used 'Fairy Catcher' from Limited Runs but given her a snowflake to catch, the papers are some of my favourites from Sarah's Tinseltown CD

Melly

I made a digi Scrapbook page using lots of elements from the Tinseltown CD ROM and also the fab digi image Snow House and of course a picture of my mad puppy!

Jaine

I chose 'Brill' by Limited Runs as he's so cute and the words from the elements section of the Tinseltown CD just went perfectly with him. I chose to make a page in my Christmas journal to show them off.

Nikki

I had so much fun with this challenge. I decided to go for a non Christmas digi from Limited Runs and I chose the lovely little 'Dragons Nest' I wanted to do something different so I decided to do a picture frame.

Jess

I have used 'Catching a Snowflake' from Limited Runs and used card and papers from my stash.

Emma

I have used 'Snowman #2' from Limited Runs and combined it with some gorgeous backing paper from Sarah's Tinseltown CD, punched holly leaves and some die cut snowflakes.

Lisa

I've used a cute image called 'Little Tree' from Limited Runs and teamed it with some fabulous papers and embelishments from Sarah's Tinseltown CD to make another last minute Christmas card.

Clare

I used 'Catching a Snowflake' from Limited Runs coloured with Promarkers, and papers from the Tinseltown CD
