Cheaper Than Therapy Challenge # 24


We are just addicted to Becky Fleck's layouts! This week's challenge is another one of hers, but the stipulation is to use some of the stash of Stampin' Up's! papers, colours & embellishments we have that makes us happy.
Can't wait to see what Adele and Rachael decide is their 'happy' paper!!
Here is the sketch:

Cheaper Than Therapy Submission # 23

Here is a reminder of this week's challenge, black cardstock with purple hues (or maybe even pink???)

I couldn't help but use the opportunity to scrap the McGrath Foundation Pink Stumps Day, a charity day put on by Warnervale Cricket Club in February this year. My wonderful girlfriends Ann-Marie & Emily joined me on this day and we had a great time supporting this fantastic cause.

So of course, I had to use Melon Mambo and Pretty In Pink cardstock to scrap this page. I also used Flirtatious DSP to make my butterflies and embellishments.

Be sure to check out Adele and Rachael's blogs to see what they came up with too.

Cheaper Than Therapy Challenge # 23


This week we are using another great sketch from the talented Color Room team......with a colour palette of Basic Black and shades of Pale Pink/Plum/Razzleberry or even Mambo....that could be part of the challenge....what shades of Pink or Purple do YOU see in this Palette???
Here is a close-up of the sketch:


Have fun creating! Be sure to come back next week to see what Rach, Adele & I came up with.

NEW Scrapbooking Workshop! Come along for some fun.

I am pleased to announce that my fortnightly Thursday Night Scrapbook workshop has become full and I will now be holding another Scrapbooking workshop on the 'alternate' Thursday night.

Great for beginners or those just wanting to try their hand at scrapping.

Classes are $20 and include all the materials to make your 2 page layout.

Email me on mareesammut7875@gmail.com if you are interested in coming along for a fun, creative night out. You dont need any scrapping experience and you are welcome to bring a friend. Classes are limited to six and start at 7.30pm at my place.

Here are some sample layouts of what you might make:

CTTC # 22 with Photos

Before I uploaded next week's challenge, I thought I'd actually show that YES, I have put photos on last week's challenge. Yippee! And yep, there's that one of me skipping with my Mum & Dad turning the rope for me. hehe. Good times!


 Off to sort out next week's challenge!

Cheaper Than Therapy Submission # 22

Here is a reminder of last week's challenge. It was a gorgeous Becky Fleck sketch, which we were to co-ordinate, using the 2012 Sale-A-Bration DSP papers.


I have turned it into a double-page layout and have some great photos in mind of the kids learning to skip on a HUGE skipping rope at Nan and Pop's house.
(There might even be one of me in there too ;-) ).


Be sure to blog hop across to Adele and Rachael's websites to see what they came up with.
Tomorrow I will be posting Cheaper Than Therapy Challenge # 23, so come back to check that out, so you can create along too.

Scrapbooking Workshop 15th March 2012

Next fortnight's workshop is based on a page I created for some photos I took of my two kiddies potting some plants at Nan's house over the Summer School Holidays.
The colours in the layout are: Wild Wasabi, So Saffron and Poppy Parade.
The class has already got some great ideas for scrapping these photos. I am looking forward to seeing how they all come together.
