hey this has made my day!! thanks again...

what is suggested was...
5 or 6 pieces of cardstock
all embellies made from this... no pre-bought stuff
can be all similiar shades or all contrasting colors
the title - 'WHY'
handwritten journalling any amount
any amount of photo's, any size..
wow good luck everyone..i trust you enjoy this and get thinking, as well as discovering something about yourselves as you ponder the title and why you write what you do...be looking forward to seeing the beautiful layouts..
don't know how i will be able to judge them.. i know they ALL will be superb!! xxlizzy

hey Lizzy congrats babe....no you won't be able to enter as a qualifier but you sure can enter for the fun of it....yes judging is not all it's cracked up to be....lol. It is hard work having to choose the best I think that every-ones work is great in very different ways....

hope that made sense....lol. I have a head ache...waiting for panadol to kick in.,.,,.

oh tina you are doing such a huge thing managing this forum..huge job.. and so well done too..

hey may i add for this challenge you can add rubons, stamps, paints etc on the cardstock, but make your own embelies out of the cardstock you choose..

i am sure i will be blown away from all the talent the girls are going to show with this challenge.. i am amazed by the creativity of all the scrappers.. there is more to look at on this site than some magazines i reckon!!
so i may be asking for advice on how to judge, because i am sure gunna want to give everyone a prize.. but then everyone who does a layout is a winner because they get a beautiful layout to cherish..
xx lizzy

thanx Lizzy babe that means alot to me .........yeah add what you like for today only...lol. I'm sure that we will be happy with what ever...lol

whooot whoooo lizzy well done...phairy claps to you .........now i have this bit of an idea ...which will suit the "why title " and i have an idea about an embellies for a hand made thingy ...but will have to strain the grain to get it together ....i won't look at it till next week cause we going away for the week end ......

So here is the challenge ladies....


use only cardstock, 5 or 6 pieces,
all embellies are to be made from this, no pre bought stuff..
can either be all similar shades, or all contrasting colors, eg all shades of green, or say green, red, black, blue, yellow..(just an example of colors)
the title - why?
handwritten journalling.. any length..
any amount of photo's...any size..
you can add rubons, stamps, paints etc on the cardstock, but make your own embelies out of the cardstock you choose..

Thats just so you're not having to keep looking around.,....

can i give out hints??
for anyone thinking how can i make embellies... i don't have a cricut or cuttlebug.. well nither do i..
i use stamps and cut them out to make flowers, i use chipboard as templates and cut out the outline..i use punches..using decorative scissors to cut out thin stripes of paper makes a great ribbon look-a-like.. and hand drawing flourishes is great too...
so hope this helps..
i will be doing this challenge also..
so looking forward to being inspired by you all..
xx lizzy

lol go lizzy ....I am also doing this challenge...lol. I think I will start this one tomorrow....in my super clean room...lol

Well done Lizzy. What a great challenge!

Well I am off to do my version of this...lol.

Oh by the way Lizzy can we add flowers and bling......

hummm well i did say no pre bought stuff...
certainly make your own flowers by stamps, punches or hand drawn and then cut out,
but the whole idea was to start with the cardstock and make everything from that.. rub ons are fine, paint is fine, kindy glitz is fine, gel pens are fine,
felt pens are fine, just what you make has to have the origins from the cardstock.. getting back to basics sort of.. we take those beautiful things we buy for granted so much... lets see what we can make just by thinking and creating..
i have put my page up on the pick a challenge gallery..
hope this helps..
xx lizzy
