This Thursday It's ... Guest Designer

Well today is the day I can finally reveal my submissions as Guest Designer for the "This Thursday It's All About ..." Challenge, which was based around a quote by Monet about 'COLOUR'.

"Color is my day-long obsession, joy and torment " ...

Lisa's Altered Art was the challenge sponsor and Patty kindly supplied a lovely selection of collaged images for the Design Team and myself to play with.

Project 1 :
Pink and green are one of my favourite colour combinations at the moment, so I made a gate fold card using K. & Co. text paper ...


... and lovely textured material scraps from my stash, matched the triple girl images quite well.
Green ribbon embellishments were added as a finishing touch.

Project 2 :
I used the cute Breast Cancer pink ribbon images for my 2nd project to make a "Reveal Hanging" ... (basically a 'hanging' which has bits to reveal LOL!) ... and adopted the Think Pink slogan.

My trusty scallop punch and various brads from my stash gave me the idea for the moving parts. The photos show it closed, (with all the bits hidden), and then fully open.

Apologies for the camera flash reflection ... it's the glossy photo paper I used for printing and my awful camera skills.

If you click on the images you should be able to see more clearly that all these cuties are carrying, or wearing, a pink ribbon.

I would like to thank the This Thursday Challenge Team for inviting me to be a Guest Designer and the sponsor Patty from Lisa's Altered Art, for allowing me to play with her collage sheets.
I only wish my time management skills had allowed me to do more than 2 projects.

BookATrix & Photo Album

Here are another couple of BookATrix cards both of which have matching boxes.

The burgundy one uses more of the lovely Brenda Walton paper and some super leather effect burgundy card which is super quality for boxes.




I struggled to get a decent photo of the silver holographic box for the lilac feathers and flowers version and nearly went blind trying ... so decided not to torture you with it. I will be taking them to the Pony Show and hope not to bring them home again.

Another wee quickie project to show you ...


This is a photo album made using DCWV paper stack and papermania cardstock.
It was a good excuse to break open the Big Bite 2 I bought a few weeks ago.

The photo sleeves are simply self seal card bags trapped between the 2 pieces of cardstock ... cool huh? I should probably have popped a couple of photos in for display purposes ... WHOOPS!

I am going to enter it in 'This Thursday It's'... Challenge 6 which is to create something which is beautiful and useful.
I may be pushing the definition of 'beautiful' with this entry, but it definitely qualifies for useful.
I suppose it would also have been perfect for last week's 'Altered' challenge.

"This Thursday Its ..." ~ Guest Designer

Guess what??

I've been invited to be a Guest Designer for "This Thursday Challenge Blog" in August ... isn't that amazingly exciting?
Well for me it is LOL!

Thank you Tracey and the This Thursday Challenge team ... I'm truly honoured that you asked me and will display your banner with pride.

This Thursday Challenge #1 ~ Fresh

There's a new challenge blog called
"This Thursday It's ... "
which opened it's doors last Thursday and as I hate to miss out on new things I had to have a go.



The 1st challenge theme is 'FRESH' and here is my take on the brief they set which is basically ... anything goes !!

I made an accordian ATC wallet using a selection of yellow, white and blue card and Provo Craft papers all tied together with yellow ribbon.

I also got to play with my scalloped circle punches too and that lovely Magenta silhouette stamp which I like ... a lot !


Hope you like it.
