The Digital Press - Feb20 challenges

Over at The Digital Press there are lots of challenges going on (remember last month I did three - and won two!). Well this month there are a host of more challenges by the various designers and I am taking part in those that I can. Here's a peak at what I've done:

1. Gone Digital Design - template challenge
As I'm on the CT Team I'm not eligible for the prize on this one, but the template was toooooooo good not to use:

2. Laura Passage - monochromatic

3. Rachel Etrog - Template

4. Cornelia Designs

5. NiniGoesDigital

6. Akizo Designs

These have been such fun to do. I also managed to stock up on a few new kits during the Pennysavers sale this month so hope to be able to get lots more scrapping done next month. Feb has been another busy month with all sorts happening and not quite enough time to scrap (I did also read a few books!).

Gingerscraps - Feb20 Challenges

In January I was so busy with the MOC8 challenge that I never got to do any of those at Gingerscraps. This month I decided to get all 10 challenges done at Gingerscraps as I really want to receive the reward kit... it looks soooooooooooo good.

With being a guest CT for BHS this month I thankfully managed to do some of the challenges with the kits that were released so have already shared those layouts

1. Buffet - All I ever wanted layout
2. Storytelling - Place to Be layout
3. Back It Up -  Believe layout

Now on to the rest of the challenges using up some of my stash...

4. Recipe

5. Signature

6. Font - using Lovely Valentine

7. Mini Kit from Connie Prince

8.Scraplift

9. Mini kit by Jumpstart Designs

10. Template

Phew made it. I really am enjoying this new adventure in scrapping. I find that I spend almost as much time looking for digi stash and dithering about placements as I did with paper scrapping.... just no mess to tidy up afterwards... hehehe.

GDD - Hello February kit

Boy oh boy there are some lovely kits available in the Pennysavers sale at The Digital Press this month, like this new one from Gone Digital Design... such fresh colours and patterns.

I used a layout by mmgallant76 that I saw on instagram as my starting point and turned it into my own.

Check out the store for the Hello February elements and papers.

I will be stocking up this week on some of the lovely goodies for sale... why not come and play along with some of the challenges at TDP too... lots of fun things happening there too.

BHS - True Love Kit

It's time for another release today of a new kit from Blue Heart Scraps... just in time for Valentine's Day.

I used this lovely kit with one of the older templates also from BHS called What's Happening.

Check out the store at Gingerscraps for this great bundle.

BHS - Believe in You kit

Another new release this week from Blue Heart Scraps is the beautiful kit called "Believe in You" at The Studio. The colours are not what I would normally pick to scrap but it is soooooooo pretty that I had to make a page.

Love the grungy edges and the masks which I used as paint splashs. The wordstrips are really great and cover all sorts of good motivation.

This kit is definitely worth getting.

BHS - I Think I Love You kit

Last weekend saw the release of a very colourful kit for the Gingerscraps Buffet called "I think I love you". Well I never got to use it as I was super busy trying to finish MOC and working and on Thursday was the first time that I got a moment to scrap again. And then to crown it all, we ended up with load shedding and more power outages last night (due to a lightning storm that struck a powerline). Lots of fun. Today it is bucketing down constantly but thankfully the power is back on and I can get around to catching up a bit on my DT stuff.

I used the papers, elements and also the freebie cluster on my layout... kept it fairly simple. I might go back and dolly it up some more (or add more photos) but for now I'm calling it done.

BHS - This is Us Kit

It's been a busy scrapping weekend... finishing of my MOC8 layouts as well as a few DT commitments... like this one for Blue Heart Scraps using the new This Is Us kit.

This kit is available at a "new to me" site called Digital Scrapbooking Studio. The kit is on special all week... well worth is as it is jam packed.

GDD - Hopeful kit

It's a new month with a new kit available from Gone Digital Designs called Hopeful. It is a truly beautiful kit.

You can get this kit in bits and pieces (papers, elements) all month long for just $1 each during the pennysavers sale... well worth it.

My good news of this week is that I have been asked to stay on as a permanent member of the team... soooooo thrilled with this as I really enjoy scrapping with Shannel's products.

The LilyPad - Month of Challenges (Week 5)

I've been busy yesterday and today just finishing up the last few layouts. It's been a mad dash to the end...

Day 27 - Paintstroke Photo

Day 28 - Darkle

Day 29 - Combine 2 templates

Day 30 - Cutfile

Day 31 - last time

And just like that I've managed to do them all. Phew! These challenges sure have stretched me and I've learnt a lot. Feel super chuffed that I did in fact get them all done especially seeing as this was the first time I've done a whole month digital challenge like this.

The LilyPad - Month of Challenges (Week 4)

This batch of layouts were a little more work than the previous few... lots of bits to each page and also lots of techniques that I've had to figure out.

Day 20 - Timeline

Day 21 - Organic Botanicals

Day 22 - Clean and simple

Day 23 - Paint Dipping

Day 24- Full page

Day 25 - Flat lay photograph

Day 26 - Selfie and Story

The end is nearly in sight... let's hope I can get through the last few challenges and get it all done before Sunday's posting deadline.
