Easter Challenges 5, 6, 7 and 8

Ooops sorry no more challenges came through yesterday ... someone got distracted by visits to family and never got back to the computer.

Here are a couple for to keep you scrapping all day:

No 5 - We have a sketch again since you all like them so much (Becky Fleck one this time)

No 6 - Lots of people go camping or have a short break at Easter, so how about doing a LO to celebrate the great outdoors (another VC Idea from Debbie Y)

No 7 - Do a layout using some Basic Grey Paper and do some Tearing and Inking and use something old from your stash as well (the older the better)

No 8 - Make an Off the Page Item that you have had as a project to do for ages and never got round to ... today is the day to do it !!

*phew* is that enough to keep you all busy ??

Easter VC Challenge No 4

Here is Challenge No 4 for the Easter VC Weekend ... this one comes from Debbie Y ...

Because it's Easter and the bunny is due to make a delivery real soon, how about using chocolate (the colour) on a Layout .... paint, embellishments, paper, whatever you like as long as it's the colour of chocolate.

Yummy Yum Yum ... had my first chocolate this morning for Easter at Brekkie at Mum's. It was good !!

I must start the chant now "Chocolate is Bad and tastes like crap. Chocolate is Bad and tastes like crap" !!
Do you think I will believe it if I say it enough times??


Here is the link to the category for upload in the Gallery

Have fun and hope you are scrapping lots and lots - unlike me :

Easter VC Challenge No 2


Well it's Easter and the traditional colours can't be ignored so of course there is no way we can let Easter VC challenges go by without having one of these ...


Do a layout using Pastel Easter-y type Colours and include some Brads and Ribbons on the page

http://www.thescrapheap.com.au/gallery/showgallery.php?cat=4537

not a necessity to be Easter Themed though :-)

Also a little scrapping goodie pack (of strangely enough, pastel coloured bits and pieces) is up for grabs too and will be drawn from the hat for all those people who leave a comment on our blog over the Easter Weekend VC.

Challenge suggestions eagerly accepted as well ... email me direct to christinem@hotkey.net.au and I will be sure to give thanks (or blame) to you when I set them for everyone to complete :-)

Have fun everyone!!

http://www.thescrapheap.com.au/gallery/showgallery.php?cat=4535

OK Now I can't think too hard this early in the morning so I think I have done well just setting all this up LOL ... so to make it easier for me I will just go with a sketch for the first VC Challenge.

One of the Sketches that NicoleB shared earlier in the week (thanks Nicole) so I have no idea where it came from but thank you to the creator - I loved it :-)



Here is the link to the sketch in our Gallery too ... oh and no, it doesn't need to be pink *phew* LOL

http://www.thescrapheap.com.au/gallery/showphoto.php?photo=29658

Should sort the serious VC-ers from the bunnies too I think!!

Have fun everyone and hope you get heaps of VC Scrapping done this weekend!!

The Paper Crafts Festival is starting tomorrow at the Brisbane RNA Showgrounds and runs over the weekend of March 14th to the 16th.

The show is open each day from 10am and it is $10 entry for adults and $8 for Pensioners / concession. Children under 12 are free.

There are quite a few workshops scheduled for the weekend and you can check these out at the organiser's site - Paper Crafts Festival.

The Scrap Heap will be there again and have our bargain stand operating again - everything either $1 or $2 !! We are all stocked up again with heaps of yummy flowers, brads, ribbons and heaps of other goodies and embellishments - ready to replenish your scrapping and papercrafting stashes.

We are also much better prepared for the line-up this time with extra bags of yummy lollies ready to keep all you ladies happy while you wait so patiently to get into the stand!!

We are in the same stand that we were in last year (Stand No 18) down the back corner again!!

We look forward to seeing all our Customers from around SE Qld (and further if you are visiting for the show) there again and hope you all come over and say hello to us on the stand.

See you then!!

Christine and Beryl
