Welcome to Bon's new Design Team!!

The results are in :D

A big round of applause and huge congratulations go to Skye Johnson, Felicity Wilson, Charmane Koch, Sandie Mallon and also to Malinda Gardner who will be a Guest DT member while Sandie takes some much-deserved RnR!

The Cyber-Crop was a great success, as always, with lots of great challenges. In particular, the new DT members set their first challenge to us! Lots of inspiration to be had, Flis gave us this scraplift challenge, Skye set a 321 Countdown challenge and Mal gave us a wonderful Treasure Hunt challenge.

All challenges are to be uploaded before Tuesday October 6th, which gives us all a week of scrapping to our hearts content.

As for my scrapping share, I don't have any LOs just yet but by golly do I have some photos to share :D Charm set us another photo challenge this CC and I'm having great fun getting the camera out more than I usually would in order to participate -- so here are my few favorites so far this week:







Thanks for dropping by xox

It's Cyber-Crop time!!

Well, I daresay nobody gets as excited as I do when it comes to 'that time of the month' ... no I'm not talking about 'that'!! I'm talking about Bon's Scraps Cyber-Crops :D

It starts TONIGHT and I can guarantee you that it will be a great one: the announcement of the newest Design Team members will also be tonight and according to the grapevine, the DT new additions will be responsible for setting some of the challenges -- EXCITEMENT CENTRAL!!!

Now normally the timetable will include a very fun game of Bingo, Bon's Color Challenge, a Sketch Challenge and a Blind Scrapping Challenge. Bon's Color Challenge will be a feature of this month's CC, although I don't know what the DT will have in store for us with their challenges!!


I also have another LO to share with you -- it's taken me awhile to be inspired enough to scrap this particular photo, but here is the end result:

It's called 'Finally! Almost 6 months along'






I also went shopping this week to pick up some new products -- I just couldn't help myself once I got to my LSS .. I went a little crazy :p

Check out my stash!








Last of all -- I received the most GORGEOUS RAK from Megan; and just in time for my birthday (yes, it is also my 28th birthday today!) -- I cried more than a few happy tears when I opened her wonderful parcel and saw all the goodies inside.



As you can see, the end of September has been a great one for me!

A few more LOs

Although I haven't been able to scrap this weekend (due to an awful heatwave), I have some more LOs to share --- these are all for Bon's Scraps monthly challenges. There are some challenge blog LOs that I need to do, but I haven't started those yet!!

My first is the 'Room of the Month' -- we had to take inspiration from this room

'Reflect'







The next challenge was the 'Write Now' challenge, set by Charm -- it had to follow an 'outdoors/spring' theme, with our LOs featuring rounded corners, at least 3 different types of alphas, and bling from Bon's shop.

'Cheeky Little Monkey'






TFL and I look forward to sharing my next few pieces of work with you all :)

Quick update ... and some BIG NEWS!

Normally I'd wait until I had a chance to share quite a few LOs before updating again, but in light of recent events I just can't wait!!!

Firstly, the big news ......
BON'S has been re-vamped and is now bigger and better than ever before (and pinker!) Come on over and check it out :)

Secondly, I've been creating all weekend and although (again) it's currently only ONE LO that I can share with you all, rest assured I have quite a few more on my scrapping table under construction ... all will be revealed in the next 24hrs so stay tuned!







Lots of techniques used in this LO -- I wanted to try my hand at a quite detailed embellishment cluster using more than just flowers and tags, and I think the end result is rather great! I haven't used chipboard for a while, so adding the chipboard heart (and putting rubons over it) was very enjoyable.

What do you think? Does it pass muster?

Another Update

Seeing as how I've recently scrapped, I felt it only fair to share it with you all sooner rather than later (or as my previous posts show, much, MUCH later!)..

I've thoroughly enjoyed the past few weeks, as my style is slowly evolving and I'm being inspired constantly by the clever chicks over at Bon's

The third round of competition for the Design Team is underway, with a big congrats to all those who made it through yet another tough elimination: Felicity, Dannii, Megan, Mal, Kristy, Kerry, and Skye --- BIG ROUND OF APPLAUSE!! Commiserations to those talented gals who didn't quite get there.. you've all inspired me beyond belief with your creations and I'm sure nothing will change in the near future :)

As far as sharing goes, yes I know it is only ONE LO, but I really love how it came together -- I used what leftovers I had from Bon's monthly kits (fantastic buys and so chock full of goodies you'll wonder if maybe you should be paying more!!) .. I'll be nice though and share some recent photos though so you don't feel too disadvantaged LOL
