Chinese Whispers Round 2: Group 1

I was lucky enough to have another two lovely LOs to work from this month in the Chinese Whispers CJ. For group 1 it came from Debbie and was this one;I received it on Valentine's day and took this photo especially. I had planned on combining it with the studio challenge (scrap the love of your life without using red) but as you can see, that didn't work out :)

Chinese Whispers Round 1

Today is the day to email the first round of the Chinese Whispers CJ and this is the LO I created using Plumtree's LO to lift from. Her LO (Funny faces) was just gorgeous and I really wanted to do it justice. I hope that I did

AMOP CJ

This CJ seems to have come and gone very quickly and we're already signing up for the next one. My latest entry was in to the 'Alton Towers' CJ and I chose the pirate ships photos. A big thank you to Leigh for giving me some Rusty Pickle pirate papers for this one :)

Drum roll please...

Thank you for taking part in my challenge. I love to see how different the LOs that are created from a sketch or scraplift are :) There were two lots of goodies up for grabs this month and they go to Julie for this LO;

I love the paint and all that bling.

And Leigh for this one.

The thready ribbon type stuff works really well with the lashes.

Thank you ladies for your lovely entries.

February Challenge

If, like me, you've already made your Valentine's card then you're ahead of the game on this month's challenge. Since February is the month of love and giving a card to show that love this month's challenge is a card related one. I realise that Valentine's day is just upon us so it doesn't have to be a Valentine's card (Mother's Day is only a month away!) but the challenge is to make a card to give to someone else to tell them that they are important to you. Here is my Valentine's card that I'll be sending this year.

Please add a link to the comments section by midnight Friday 12th March if you'd like to be in with a chance of winning a February themed kit, when I randomly select someone.

Studio Challenge Sunday

And it is the first of the challenges that I am officially involved in in my role as a Design Team member :) So the challenge is;

' If I were a boy...create a page based around the idea of what life would be like if you were a member of the opposite sex. What would be better about it? What would you miss?'. I spent quite a long time on just finding the right photo for this one. I did find these ones;

because obviously being able to pee without having to queue for a loo, or even find a loo is the most appealing part of being a guy (IYAM!). But in the end I decided to take a picture of a couple of jelly babies. I was lucky to get the shot though as a small person snuck up on me and ate the lady jelly baby after only three shots! And here is my finished LO.

Materials:

Kelly Panacci 'His & Hers' paper and stickers
Kaiser crafts rub on stiches
Magic mesh
Giant ric rac from Hobby Craft

All My Own Photos CJ February Posting

I hate to wasted paper and after making the LO for the UKS challenge the week before last I had lots of lovely paper from Indigo Mill left. It came in really handy for my latest UKS CJ entry in the 'All my own photos' CJ for Beth. Her CJ is about her trip to Newcastle and the photos are of two bridges in Newcastle.
