August Colour Challenge (Part II)

Good morning everyone! 

First things first - the Design Team Call ends tonight! You'll be participating in the the September challenge if you make the team, and I'll start notifying people tomorrow if they have made the team.Keep scrolling down to the next post if you want to find out more.

In case you missed it on the 1st, this month's challenge is everything you want to put into a girly layout - Rikki has once again put together a gorgeous mood board, thank you Rikki!  You can use the board to inspire you in any way you choose and link up using the Mr Linky at the top of the blog.

This month's sponsor is 2 Crafty Chipboard who will be sending a prize pack to this months winner! The Design Team got to play with lots of beautiful products from the store (thank you - we had so much fun!) so you will see the chipboard on each of our layouts this month ... please, please, please do yourself a favour and check out their >blog here< - so much amazing work.

Here is the last Part II reveal for Scrap The Girls! Moving forward all the reveals will be on the 1st of each month, and instead in the middle of each month we'll be providing a little step-by-step for you to add to your scrapbooking tool box! I hope you're excited as me about this, and what the design team are going to wow you with.

Design Team Call!

Lots of changes a-happening around here. And its a bitter-sweet DT call. Goodbye to the unbelievably awesome current team, who will be handing their paper-trimmers ('torches' just didn't sound right) over to what I'm sure will be a new and also-fabulous new team!

I'm looking for several designers to keep doing what we do best here on the blog - create beautiful, innovative and inspiring layouts for our Scrap The Girls challenge blog. This is your opportunity to shine and inspire our followers, and share your creative genius with the world!

Why be on the team?

• Inspire our blog followers and challenge players each month with your beautiful work
• Occasional free products to play with from our sponsors
• Be part of an awesome design team and community via a private FB group
• Online exposure for you through direct links on the website, and social media sites.

What I'm looking for for the September-June 2016 team:

• Committed individuals with scrap savvy, and love to scrap the girls in their lives!
• Individuals that must take crisp, clean photo's of their layouts, including being able to remove colour casts and resize photo's so they are blog ready. 
• Individuals that have experience blogging, emailing and using Facebook to 'share' broadcasts relating to the monthly challenges and sponsor/s for that month.
• Individuals that can meet monthly deadlines.
• Individuals that can keep a challenge secret - we get 4-6 months of challenges ahead of time.

As a STG Design Team member you will need to:

• Create 1 (one) layout per month, starting September through to June 2016, occasionally incorporating product from the sponsor of that month.
• Create 1 (one) step-by step layout during your time on the team, using a technique you want to share with our followers.
• Share the monthly reveal via your Facebook page and personal blog (if you use/have these).

How to Apply:

• Send your application to a.reddicliffe@hotmail.com before 11:59pm EST, 15th August 2015!
• Send 4-6 of your fave layouts that best represent your style, and show off different techniques you like to use - these can be recent layouts or ones from your archives - resized to 600px please.
• Tell me about yourself! Your family, location, why you scrap, who inspires you, what inspires you, etc.
• Send me a link to your blog if you have one, or online gallery.
• Make sure you let me know if you are already on any Design Teams, and if you have upcoming commitments when you won't be available to participate in monthly challenges.
• This call is open to everyone, regardless of geographic location.

You have to be in it to win it - everyone has a chance to be chosen for the team, there are no limits on places at this point, and I already know I will have a tough job ahead of me not picking ALL of you!

Good luck everyone,

x Amanda

August Colour Challenge!

Good morning everyone! 

Today we have a couple of things to mention before we get onto the challenge. First - we are announcing a Design Team Call! It's going to be short and sharp - 2 weeks to apply and you'll be participating in the the September challenge if you make the team!  I'll put a post up shortly to tell you all about the requirements and where the team is heading in the next few months! Exciting times.

Here is this month's challenge - Rikki has once again put together a gorgeous mood board, I think we'll be seeing a lot of bling incorporated into this month's challenge entries!  You can use the board to inspire you in any way you choose and link up using the Mr Linky at the top of the blog.

This month's sponsor is 2 Crafty Chipboard who will be sending a prize pack to this months winner! The Design Team got to play with lots of beautiful products from the store (thank you - we had so much fun!) so you will see the chipboard on each of our layouts this month ... please, please, please do yourself a favour and check out their >blog here< - so much amazing work.

RAK Winner

Hi Folks!

If you follow our Facebook page you'll have seen that we had a little give-away last month.  The very kind people at Fiskars Australia have given me some products to give away, and to start the ball rolling we thought a Fiskars Fuse Starter Pack would be nice to give to one lucky person... :)

The Fuse Creativity System® is much more than another die-cutting machine. It’s the only system on the market that can die-cut a shape, press a textured pattern and ink the pattern all in one pass through the machine. 

The simplified plating and manual crank system make it easy to create embellishments for accenting homemade cards, scrapbook pages or just about any other craft project. Different combinations of dies, letterpress plates, inks and crafting materials offer a virtually limitless range of stunning results.
With the Fuse creativity System, you can do more than just die-cut and letterpress. Different combinations of plates can create a pressed, die-cut embellishment; a simple die-cut shape; a letterpressed design for a page or card; or a simple pressed design.

Isn't this awesome?! We have one more in the 'kitty' (plus other Fiskars goodies) which we will give away in a few months, so make sure you keep playing along, checking our FB page and of course watching out for your name in our winners announcements here on the blog.

So, I'm pleased to announce the winner of the Fiskars Fuse Starter Kit is ...

Amanda-Jane Baldwin!

Congratulations!

Thank you to everyone who commented and shared our little giveaway. Make sure you play along here each month and you could win something!

The winners for the Charms Creations giveaway from last month will be announced tonight. 

Happy Friday,

x AJ

July Reveal (Part I)

Happy July Folks! 

This month Rikki has designed this gorgeous sketch, I hope you love this as much as we did (you will, you will!).

There's a couple of changes I wanted to bring to your attention - if you haven't checked out the rules lately have a quick look (link at the top of the blog), and we've changed the link up style too - your challenge entries can also now be linked at the bottom of this post, not the sidebar, and there's also a shortcut riiiiiight up the top there, next to 'Home'.  Leave us a comment if you have further ideas for the challenges too. :)

Sponsor time. I'm so excited to reveal not only the sketch, but this months sponsor. This month The Scrappery Kit Club are our lovely, lovely sponsor and they are giving away one BTK kit. Because it isn't available in the store yet I don't have a picture for you, but you can also check out their lovely kits in store, or even set up a subscription.

Here is this months sketch and Design Team inspiration for you to get started - good luck everyone!
