SCRaPDANGo March kits and reveal

Being down under usually means I am a little behind the other DT girls with the reveals. But I still thoroughly enjoy creating with the kits once they arrive on my doorstep. Hopefully I am still able to inspire people with my projects.

This month's kit, as always, were both amazing.
I had the chance to play with the Spice Kit, but I could not resist the Sugar Kit either. That one will be here soon LOL!!

Spice Kit features Jillibean Soup - Old World Cabbage Stew

April Savvy Kits & DT reveal

This month's kits at Scrapbook Savvy are just running out of the store and already 2 of the 3 kits are SOLD OUT, how awesome is that!!
I was given the task of show-casing 'She's Savvy' this month and I have thoroughly enjoyed the experience.
The kit is packed full of papers from Crate Paper - Pink Plum and SEI - Claire, including a Hambley Studio Transparency. The embellishments are just over-flowing, Prima alphas, Crate Paper Glitter chipboard, SEI die-cut word stickers, 2 Crafty chipboard and Heidi Swapp stickers. What more could a girl need!
Sadly She's Savvy is one of the kits that have sold out, but it is totally understandable.

Here are the kits:

Kraft It Up April Challenge

Well the month of March has flown by, but over at Kraft It Up it has been action packed with an awesome amount creativity on display.
Everyone did a fabulous job with the random alpha, so many unique layouts, the site was just oozing with talent!
Show us what you can do with this month's challenge,

To use a KRAFT base and a MONOCHROMATIC colour scheme, there is a catch though you CAN NOT use Brown.

I had heaps of fun digging through my enormous stash, once I had chosen my colour. Really should remember to attach leg rope to prevent falling in supplies LOL!!!

Here is my take on things,

Great Friends

Photobucket

Email your layouts to kraft.it.up@hotmail.com before 8pm April 30th to put yourself in the running for some fabulous prizes.

April Challenges at Savvy

My 'All about me' challenge this month at Savvy is to scrap something new in your life. It can be about anything, new hobby, new routine, new outfit or even new furniture LOL!!
Every moment is worth scrapping.

I decided to document my new found love for Ballroom dancing.
We have been going to lessons for awhile now and have even started to go to dances. Along with my Sister Leanne and BIL Pat, we have so much fun, plenty of laughs and loads of exercise. New friends are the added bonus.
DH complains sometimes, but I can usually encourage him with my female charm.

Here is my page

I think we can dance

Photobucket

Pop over to Savvy to check out all of this month's DT challenges.
Anthea's sketch is gorgeous, Sara's colour combo is divine and our very own Miss Sar has taken over the kit challenge, this month's criteria is pretty cool.
They are all fantastic challenges, the samples are beautiful and will put you in the running for some Savvy Dollar to spend in-store.

You have until midnight April 30th to upload your pages to the correct gallery.
Hope you will come over and have a go.

Forgot to share!

Photobucket

We are half way through week three of a fabulous competition over at Artistic Document and it has a fabulous music flavour.

The Magical Musical Tour has left the station.

Week one was taking a little salsa inspiration, bright colours, ruffles and paint.

Dance like nobodys watching

Week two was classical using mainly Black and White, music paper, rubons, pearls and chandeliers.

Feeling Good

Week three we are going 1950's Rock n Roll, using black and one other colour, brads, retro alpha and a bit of vinyl. Well I am still working on mine, so stay tuned.

March reveal for Savvy

This month Sarah surprised me with a collection I have loved since first spotting it. I will admit, it is not my usual style of papers, but the subtle blend of black, green, cream and pink were irresistable.
I am talking about the gorgeous collection from Webster's Pages - Life's Portrait! teamed with the matching journal cards, Jenni Bowlin Bingo Cards Alpha Tiles and the awesome acrylic lava lamp embellishment for Buzz and Bloom
This collection has a real vintage feel to it.
So this may surprise many of you, I know it did me, my little man will not grace these pages. I have tried to create some classical and feminine pages, hopefully they will inspire some people.

PS I have even been creating my very own flowers. Who would have thought!

Savvy 'All About Me' March Challenge

This month I am challenging you all to document your 'Bucket List'
Create a page about things you hope to achieve before you leave this earth.
Everyone has them, watching the kids grow up, being a Grandparent, travelling the world or maybe just wanting to live to one hundred.

You can use the title 'My bucket List' if you wish, but it is not mandatory.

Remember how important this page could be in years to come if you were to loose the capacity to communicate. It will give your loved ones an idea of the things you had dreamt of doing. It can list your hopes, your dreams or your fantasies, what ever you feel you would like to document.

So I am hoping you will pop over to Savvy and play along.

A few guidelines for Savvy challenges:
1. Your page must be created specifically for this challenge.
2. You must upload by midnight on the last day of the month to the correct gallery folder for this challenge in the Savvy gallery.
3. You can post your pages on your personal blogs with a link back to Savvy.

Upload into the Scrapbook Savvy gallery (in the correct folder) by midnight March 31 for your chance to win some Savvy $$'s.
