Cheaper Than Therapy Challenge #22

This week we will take this great sketch layout by Becky Fleck:-

and put it together with the 2012 Sale-a-bration gift paper pack - 'Everyday Enchantment'. This gorgeous paper pack uses colours not out of place in our previous challenge....the colours are.... Lucky Limeade, Pool Party, Peach Parfait, Calypso Coral, Poppy Parade, VeryVanilla and Soft Suede.

I can't wait to see what we all come up with Rach and Maree!! These papers are just so so pretty and lend themselves to anything.  I hope you all have a great week and get lots of creating done!  See ya on Monday xoxo

Cheaper Than Therapy Challenge Creation #21

I think I got a bit lost in this one and just kind of slapped it together and hoped for the best!!

On the plus side I am scrapping photos that I have had printed for a long time and have been very patient waiting for it to be their turn to shine on a page!! 

Anyway, this challenge creation pays homage to kids messing up the place with paint and the photos we take of them doing it as excitied dutiful parents....then we leave it all to pre-school and school to avoid the mess!!!

I do like how the page has turned out, perhaps not the best photo of the layout, sorry!! Don't forget to check out Rach and Maree's blogs to see what they came up with too.  And check in tomorrow for the next challenge we have set ourselves.  Have a great week xox

Kicking off 2012........Cheaper Than Therapy Challenge #21

Hello and how is everyone?  I trust we have all made it through the Christmas...New Year....School Holidays...Start of School periods of the year safely and sanely!?!

Welcome to 2012, Maree, Rachael and I hope to bring you more fun and frivolity and creative inspiration with our little contributions to the blog challenge world.  I am constantly amazed at what we managed to achieve with our challenges last year...TWENTY we completed....how COOL is that!!

So lets see what we can accomplish this year....how much will we get done....how many packets of photos we can empty and clear out.

Here is challenge for this week.....

For Challenge Number 21, we are using another Palette by the talented girls at The Color Room:-

the sketch close up looks like this:

The colours for this challenge are most like the following Stampin’ Up! colours Tangerine Tango, Regal Rose, Baja Breeze and So Saffron (or are as I have interpreted them!)

 I am feeling very challenged at the moment but I can't wait to see what the pages all look like next week.  Don't forget to check in and see what Rachael, Maree and I create for this challenge.  Have a great weekend.  Cheers xox

PS - In the interests of fair play - for those who wish to join in from home - we will allow colour substitutions if absolutely necessary (for your own sanity, forget any silly rules we have for each other, lol!) Swap Tangerine for Peach Parfait or Calypso Coral, Swap Regal Rose for Blushing Bride or Melon Mambo and I think I was nuts when I looked at the palette because the Saffron is so much more Peach....so much for quick picks hey!!

Rach, Maree and I will stick to the original choices because we are crazy - no, not really - because the original challenge document stands as is!
