Scrapbook Challenges Sketch 286

It's time for a new sketch reveal at Scrapbook Challenges... awesome double and single page ones to choose from again:

I decided to do the single layout for this sketch and did pics of us attending the annual Christmas pantomime - Cinderella.

Now head over to the forum and check out the rest of the design team's take on this sketch.

Also remember to get your bracket selections done by Friday.... March Madness is in full swing!

Scrapbook Challenges - March Madness

The madness has started.... yesterday the "teams" were picked... you can find out "how" here.

Now it is up to you to play along.  Download the bracket selection form... fill in all the fields as to who you think will win each round, then upload it to the gallery... all before Friday 16th March.  Our first challenge will be issued on Saturday and then we will see how well I do.

We now all have a new avatars as well to keep us in the "game".... this is what you will see floating around the forum:

So let the game begin and come and support me... I need all the help I can get!

Today is INTERNATIONAL WOMEN'S DAY

But I had to go searching for this Google doodle... South Africa are NOT celebrating... maybe because we have Women's Day in August (With all it's political connections!).

So happy day to all my lady friends... let's have FUN today.

Oh happy day

I commented and I WON!!! Happy dance going on.

So now I reckon I best learn how to use my stash of stamps!

Scrapbook Challenges - Sketch 285

Wow it's a new month already, and being early in the week that must mean that a new sketch is up at Scrapbook Challenges.  This week you have a great sketch, again in single or double format.

I chose to do the single layout and turned to my FabScraps papers again for this page and even created some flowers for it too.

Head over to the forum to check out the rest of the team's layouts this week.  While you are there you can also check out my Handmade challenge that is running all month.


I am also entering this layout in the FabScraps challenge over at Scrap Africa.

I just found out...

that I was one of the lucky winners on the Let's Scrap Blog Hop.... so making all 50 cards and then hopping to 50 different blogs, definitely paid off!! yippee.

This is the card I made that won my the lucky prize (which you can see over at Eniko's Playhouse).

CANSA Shavathon

It's CANSA Shavathon time again! Which means that you can shave or spray your head for a R50 donation (children under 12 - R25 donation) and help support cancer survivors! Aaron and I decided to join the cause today at Clearwater Mall.

This is us before we took the plunge:

And then we went and did the deed:

All shorn off:

Now it's on to the colouring.  Aaron chose to go BRIGHT ORANGE and I did blue polka dots.

Now we are home and brightly coloured.

Keith is definitely not too sure about this... I don't think he want's to be seen in public with either of us at the moment... hehehehe. But hey - the colour will wash out and our hair will grow. It's all for a good cause.

Scrapbook Challenges - March Madness

The month of March is slowly going to develop it's own sense of madness over at Scrapbook Challenges

At present I have no idea what's install for me... quivering in my boots almost.  What I will need from you from what I gather is voting support.  Keep your eyes on my blog and I will let you know as I know more.

How it works:
The DT will be paired off in twos competing against each other every week. We will have 4 rounds...
Sweet 16
Elite 8
Final 4
Then a championship round (Last 2 scrapping)

Our "Challenges" will be issued on Saturdays and we will have 4 days to complete the round and voting will take place Wednesday - Friday. Those moving on will be announced on the following Saturday with the new challenge.

How the members will be involved:
On March 11th we will hold a bracket drawing. There will be a sheet that members can pick the weekly winners and who they think will win the whole thing. Those that correctly pick will be entered to win our grand prize.

So join us at Scrapbook Challenges for some added fun and madness this month.

Scrapbook n Things - Challenge 2

I bought the kit in Feb to do the second challenge at Scrapbook n Things.... my page came together so quickly and I loved it.... you can see it here.  I still had lots leftover so decided I would enter a second page too... this is what I did:

So if you are in the vicinity of the shop, please pop in over the next two week and give me your vote.

In need of stash?

I never thought there was something as TOO MUCH stash... but then you run across someone who is giving away heaps of it and realise that this give-away is almost more than I own already!!!!  Hehehe... so if like me you want to get your hands on it, then head over to Tina's blog for a chance to win some lovely loot.

Here is a pic of a smidgen of it:

So head over to her blog now and enter.
