Yay I won!

Hi Everyone,

You're probably sick of me talking about Unconvention by now but I do have a couple more projects to show you and also to share my happy news that I won a couple of the challenges...

So, without further ado, here's my winning entries:

Michelle's Colour Challenge - I did post a pic of this card the other day but didn't know I'd won... See this previous post for more info.

I received a special mention for this Gift bag challenge set by Caroline Colgan. Caroline provided us with the tutorial to make this gorgeous giftbag with a pocket for the co-ordinating card.

And I won the 3D Project Challenge set by Christine Healey with this entry:

The idea is to then slip 2 cards and envelopes inside the holder to make a gorgeous little gift.... I've made another one of these with the matching cards, but in totally different colours... The only catch is I just can't show you yet as its on its way to someone special.... So check back in a couple of days to see what it looks like.

There were more challenges than I had time to complete over the weekend, but I am determined to try them all so I will post any new creations here for you to see.

Unconvention has given me a major boost of self-confidence... I set one of the challenges which had a great response on ESAD (not so good here on my blog unfortunately), and then completed several other challenges... To win 2 and receive a special mention, makes me realise that my work is probably better than I give myself credit for and that makes me more confident and gave me a silly smile to wear on my face over the past week lol  

I also took part in 1 of 4 scavenger hunts held by ESAD and I won that too... This was a total surprise and considering I had miss 3 on my lap and still managed to flick through our Stampin' Up! Catties to find the answers, I was super stoked to have answered any of the questions.

I still have a couple of Unconvention projects to show you so keep popping back to see them...

And, if you live in the Perth metro area and are interested in making any of these projects or cards, please let me know as I would love to show you and a couple of your friends how!

Thanks for looking,

Another Unconvention Project....

Hi Everyone,

As promised, I'm back with more of my Unconvention projects from the weekend.

This scrapbooking page is based on a sketch layout provided by Kelly Slattery... And its the first one I've done for my eldest daughter (who is now 3 1/2yrs old)... So that means I've got a lot of catching up to do and then there's also a whole other album for my youngest daughter as well... Better get scrappin'!


This is the layout:

And this is my page:

With a close up pic of the glittery letters

Scrapping my friends.....

Haha, bet that made you look twice.... I have 'scrapped' my friends into a scrapbooking page as another Unconvention challenge.

This challenge was by SheryleeTutt, a demo in Karratha. We needed to use punch art on our page... somehow and somewhere... Now like scrapbooking, I don't really do much punch art either so I had to google some ideas...

I found this flower on Julia Betten's site along with a couple of other ideas for future pages.

And this is what I did:

My "flowers" were made with the rounded tab, 1 3/8" circle, 1 1/4" circle and scallop circle punches. The oval leaves were freehand as I'm yet to add the oval punches to my collection.

I'm slowly building up my scrapbook.. And there's more pages to come later in the week....

Unconvention projects

Hi All,


Here's a couple of quick pics from UnConvention this weekend....

This is my card I sent in for the swaps... I'll be receiving 6 cards from other demonstrators later this week... Hurray for happy mail!! I can't wait!!

This card was for Tanya Kitto's Surprise Challenge on Thursday night... We needed to incorporate:

• Paper Piercing
• Dimensionals
• Vanilla Cardstock
• Designer Series Paper

So I made this mini notecard... Perfect addition to a bunch of flowers for someone in need of some 'get well' wishes...

This card is for Michelle Frost-Stevenson's Colour Challenge

The colours we were required to use were:

• Rich Razzleberry
• Old Olive
• More Mustard
• Chocolate Chip

If you would like any more info on products or colours used, please leave me a comment or email me.

I'll be back through the week to show you my other creations.
