First card sketch

So over at Lets Scrap, I had my first card sketch challenge. Now I have never been a car maker. I never know where to start. I always have very good intentions of using all my left overs and making cards with them. But I never do them. It was quite daunting for me as the other ladies in the DT r pro's. But I did it.  I used some scraps I found lying around and I think it came together pretty well. Im sure that the more I make, I will get better at it:)

So first up is the sketch:
And here is my take on it:


Anyways, better be off:)

Woman's Day Celebrations!

So last week, on Thursday the 9th of August we celebrated Woman's day here in SA. For the last couple of months we have been planning to have a day of scrapping at the shop. We had so many ideas of what to do with the ladies, but in the end we settled on making a printers tray.

After some research I came across one that could be cut on the Cameo. We weren't sure if the ladies would be up for the challenge and after lots of debating we took the plunge and started designing it.

I ordered some stunning goodies for everyone, and there was such such a big selection in each kit that no two projects were the same. We used the Studio Calico, Take Note range of paper. All the ladies got a whole 6x6 pack so they such a variety to choose from. A few other things included in the kit were, Kaiser alphas, prima flowers, craft essentials mirror butterflies, celeb8 chipboard swirls and butterflies, rub ons, twine, glitter buttons, chipboard frames and many many more things.

Here is a pic of my printers tray that I did. I hope u like it:)
After I had made my tray I realised there was soooo much stuff left over so I decided to do a single page as well.
Even after both projects there was a mountain of goodies left over.
We had 19 ladies in Thursdays class and then we didit again on Sat with seven ladies. They all thoroughly enjoyed themselves and couldnt believe that they actually made their printers trays from scratch! Everyone did such fantastic jobs with their projects, I cant wait to see them all finished:)
Next week i'll hopefully put up some of the ladies printers tray so u can see how beautiful they came out.

Thats all for now, gotta get ready, we have a class in half an hour:)
Love ya

Fantastic News!

I got chosen to be on a design team! I am super excited! I have never ever entered anything like this before, but when I saw this challenge come up I thought lets take a chance and go for it. I'm so glad that I did! I was chosen for http://letsscrap.ning.com/ design team.

We were given a sketch to follow, and I chose to scrap some more of my Paris photos.
This is the sketch

And this is my take on it. I hope you like it:)

I used my fav cardstock colour for the background - kraft. Some old MME patterns, Kaiser journalling tags, stickers and rub ons. I made the bunting by punching circles from patterns and folding them in half. It was quite a simple layout, but I had fun doing it:)

I have already done my next layout which has to be in by the end of the month, but you will have  to want for that one:)

On another note, we are having a Woman's day function here on Thursday the 9th of August and again on Saturday the 11th. We're super excited about it. We are doing a fantastic project which such lovely goodies. Hopefully next week I will post pics for you all to see:)

Have a wonderful week, and for those of you in SA, enjoy your extra long weekend:)

Love Cas
