My take on the August 123 Challenge

Well when I spotted this month's criteria, I knew exactly what I wanted to do.
Renee Dowling had challenged us in July over at Scrapbook Savvy to take some self portraits being a bit silly.
Well I completed the challenge, just didn't get it loaded to the gallery.
So to refresh your memory the criteria for this month is,

1. Bling
2. Self Portrait
3. Use more than 5 colours

How perfect is the Cosmo Cricket Hello Sunshine papers for the colour side of things!!
So I had a bit of fun with this and believe me' There is nothing sweet about' this girl LOL!!

Scrapbook Savvy August Ad Challenge

This Ad grabbed my attention straight away, it's full, it's messy, basically everything I love in a page! It can be both very 'macho' masculine, you now the whole grunge thing or very 'Shabby Chic' feminine, with trims, fabric and lots of flowers.
I think the possibilities with this Ad are endless, you could even go with the candy theme and scrap your 'can't go without' treat.
Remember as always, there is no wrong or right way to interpret this Ad, look at it and start!!
You have until Midnight August 31st to upload it to the gallery at http://www.scrapbooksavvy.com.au/ to be in the running for some Prima goodies.

2CC August Kit & Review

The August kit is another great kit put together by the Cousinz.
Presenting Scenic Route Grafton in all of it's glory.
The colors are gorgeous – teal, turquoise, rust, orange, yellow and red.
While they may scream beach and summer, they are also suitable for many other themes.
There are 7 sheets of beautiful quality double sided pattern papers.

The kit also includes Dream Street Birdie Bits Die Cuts and Square Chipboard.
These pieces match nicely with the Grafton.
The three colors of Bazzill Basics textured cardstock included in the kit are so vibrant and match perfectly with the pattern papers.
This kit is jam packed with loads of embellishments, a sampling of Doodlebug Tangerine Silk Flowers and Bazzill Bling Bradsin 3 different colours. Some fabulous rub-ons from Fancy Pants, arrow chipboard pieces from Magistical Memories, and a few pieces of some gorgeous ribbon.
To top of this beautiful kit, some fun etsy scalloped "Good Time" tags and Kelly's awesome handmade tags.
The add on to complement this kit is a must!!
Scenic Route Grafton Chipboard, Orange Stickles, Me & My Big Ideas Rhinestone Circles, Doodlebug Limeade Stickers, and Fancy Pants About A Boy Ribbon round out the kit perfectly.

I had previously played with some of these papers for a GDT spot last month and loved every moment.
To see a few more pages in the range was amazing and once again I had heaps of fun creating,
