The Honest Scrapper

Found a challenge on the honest scrapper blog (well I made it into a challenge for me) that I took on for the Wakatipu Scrap 'n' Chat last night. The other four layouts are in the next post down!

The challenge was to put the following in a box & do your next five layouts from it only (made for light travelling to a crop too - apart from taking my sewing machine):
* 15 pieces of cardstock
*20 pieces of patterned paper
*a few alphas
*a dozen embellishments (paint, buttons, thread & pre-fab ones)

Had fun doing this & I think it will be my 'crop thing' from now on in - no more getting annoyed that i didn't bring this one thing that I desperately needed....

any way thanks for visiting!

I really enjoyed looking at your Lo's. The gardening one so femine and the brussel sprout one is a hoot, love simplicity too! Thanks for sharing that 'honest challenge'.Will try follow that when I go to the next crop. And thanks for welcoming me to blogworld!

Now *that* is my kinda challenge ... limited resources. I often feel as if I have too much choice and I can't start unless I force myself to use *just* the material on my desk or in a *just arrived* box of goodies.
Beautiful work Lara.

Gorgeous layouts Lara :) Don't know how I would go on the box challenge, I think I would always need just something else, although if your on a crop that would sure make it eaiser. :)

Hi Lara - sounds like a great challenge and one I should take up. Always struggle scrapbooking at a crop cause I never have what I want to use. LO looks sensational too.

What a great idea Lara - one I desparately need to take onboard - maybe I would actually get to crops if I didn't have to take so much stuff LoL!

New Grad

This month I used the 'Sunshine Vibes' bundle to create this layout for the Stampin' Up Artisan Design Team. Using die cuts to create stencils is a favourite way to create backgrounds for my scrapbook layouts. This bundle allowed me to do this and then to back some of the die cuts with in colour DSP.  Puffy hearts and fussy cut flowers add dimension. If you live in New Zealand and don't have a Stampin' Up! Demonstrator already and want the supplies I have used, please visit: https://laramoss.stampinup.net and head to the shop to look for: Sunshine Vibes Bundle Mini Alphabet Dies Florals in Bloom DSP

'Make a Memory Scrapbooking Kit

  This was an easy way to get lots of memory keeping done at a crop yesterday!  7 layouts created and I put together another one from the kit today.  There is still more left in the kit box to make 2 - 3 more layouts! I made a few additions - some stamping, splattering, stitching and threads to add some texture and background interest. Head to the shop to check out this kit!
