Design Team Challenge - Penny

With a few little hiccups thanks to Yahoo, Penny's gorgeous Design Team Challenge for this week didn't end up making it into the weekly Scrappit Newsletter, so I thought I would take this opportunity to share it with you now!

The challenge this week for the Design Team was to 'Scraplift a page from a current magazine and share both the original AND your version'.

This page was recently published in Scrapbooking Memories

Here's Penny's scraplift version - it's a wonderful design isn't it?  I really love the wavey line at the top and the bottom - it looks so very effective!

Would you like to see all the Design Team members interpretation of our weekly challenges?  Make sure you subscribe to the Scrappit Newsletter and it will be delivered to your Inbox each and every week!  Not only that . . . you'll be the first to hear about all the new stock as it arrives as well!

December Sneak Peaks

It's nearly Christmas? Are you all organised - I kind of am. Well, I've wrapped presents and decided I've had enough of shopping at the very least!!

This weekend the December Club Scrappit Now will be released - just in time to scrap all those wonderful Christmas photo's. Since its not that time though, I would love to share a few sneak peaks of the things I created with this beautiful kit -

Christmas Gift Idea - Notepads

Isn't it amazing how quickly Christmas is rapidly decending upon us . . . there seemed to be all the time in the world . . . I'm certainly glad that I made an early start on my Christmas cards this year - it's been great to have a stockpile of them sitting there ready to use.

One thing I have been busy making as gifts for members of my social scrapbooking group, are these cute notepads - I've had a little production line happening you could say - *grin*

Firstly, I took a heap of A5 notepads into a local printing store and kindly asked if they could be cut in half vertically - this gave me 2 notepads from each one and they end up being quite a good overall size!

I then simply cut a strip of Bazzill 5cm longer than the size of the notepad, held in place and then gently creased along the top of the notepad either side of where the pages are all stuck together and used double sided tape to hold the cover in place.

I then used some of the gorgeous pattern paper and die-cut images from this months 'ScrappIt Now' kit to decorate the covers along with some ribbon, hand stitching and a little bling too!

So very simple BUT quite effective at the same time!  I do hope the members of my social scrapbooking group like them!

I would like to take this opportunity to wish you and your family a very Merry Christmas and a safe and prosperous New Year too!
