Cheaper Than Therapy Challenge 3

This week we have stamped 12 monsters each from the Stampin’ Up! Make A Monster Stamp Set on the stripy and spotty papers of the Regals Paper Stack. We used the colours Riding Hood Red, Not Quite Navy and More Mustard. The only specification for our challenge this week is to use them in a scrapbook layout!

The colours are:-

And here is the image from page 62 of the current Stampin' Up! Idea Book & Catalogue to show you the stamps in this gorgeous set that allow you to mix and match to make cute little monsters:-

Can't wait to see how similar (or different!) Adele's and Maree's creations are! Check back next week to see what we come up with..........

Cheaper Than Therapy Challenge 2- My Creation

Here is my creation for our second challenge. I haven't given it a title yet because I'm not sure which photos I will put on it, but I am very happy with this one! The large space at the bottom is where the title (left) and date (right) will go; and the yellow pieces are for journalling. Hope you like it!

Don't forget to check out what Maree and Adele have created; and look out for our new challenge tomorrow!

Stamp & Scrap Club #4

This Friday night is our 4th get together for Stamp & Scrap Club. This is a group of 6 lovely ladies who meet every 6 weeks to make a scrapbook layout and a card using a bundle of co-ordinated Stampin' Up! products. The benefits of Stamp & Scrap Club (apart from having a child-free social outing!) are that you get a share of products to keep without having to buy entire packages; so you are getting a wider variety of items for your money. I also take the stress out of it for you by creating co-ordinated bundles of product so that when you go home, you have enough matching items to keep creating! As well as these great incentives, because I place one bulk order, we are entitled to receive hostess stamp sets and free products as well! Email me on litlrach75@gmail.com if you would like more information on joining a Stamp & Scrap Club; or if you have a group of 5-6 friends and would like to create your own group to meet regularly with me to create!

For this Stamp & Scrap Club, we are using the Cottage Garden Stamp Set and Sunny Garden Designer Series paper to create one of the above cards, as well as the following layout:- 

Here is a close up of the detail:-

The white photo mats on this layout are 5 1/2 x 7 1/2 inches, so a 5x7" photo will fit nicely on each one; or two 4x6" photos trimmed to 3 1/2 by 5 inches will fit onto each mat.

Can't wait to see you all!

Cheaper Than Therapy Challenge 2

Well we all survived challenge 1 and for Challenge 2 we decided to go for a scrapbooking layout sketch designed by Julie Bonner:-

To make the challenge more challenging, we have decided that we have to incorporate Stampin' Up!'s "Play Date" Designer Series Paper which has various prints in the following colours:

It's a paper pack that I've only used minimally, but have been pleased with the results when I have used it. Remember to check back next week to see what I come up with; and why not have a go yourself! Good Luck Adele and Maree!

Cheaper Than Therapy Challenge 1- My Creation

Here is my creation for our first ever Cheaper Than Therapy Challenge. We celebrated my lovely mother-in-laws 60th Birthday last week with a High Tea at our house, so I decided to combine the challenge with creating her birthday card! The challenge was to use Daffodil Delight, Melon Mambo, and Wild Wasabi colours with the "A Slice of Life" Hostess Stamp Set. Here is what I came up with- it looks a lot brighter in real life, and I used a whole A4 sheet as the base so it is twice the size of a normal card:-

A Slice of Life 60th Birthday Card



Supplies: (All products Stampin' Up!) Daffodil Delight, Wild Wasabi and Melon Mambo Cardstock; Basic Black and Daffodil Delight Ink; Stampin' Pastels; Wild Wasabi and Melon Mambo Designer Series Paper (Spot design); Melon Mambo Spotted Grosgrain Ribbon, Stampin' Dimensionals, Scallop Circle Punch and Large Scallop Circle Punch; Stamp-a-majig; Big Shot; Timeless Type Medium Sizzlits.
