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!

blenheim

We are currently in Blenheim. Have been doing some of the wineries - a work trip for Jase - we just get to go along! I'v been playing with some of the phaunt actions by Kylie Banks- my faves are phaunt magic instant & then beastly colour. Got the links from an online class at Scrapbook Outlet with Mandi Haynes. above: Katya on a walk in Waikari with Jases parents. Below - Harold the older giraffe at Orana Park, just before I met Vicki & checked out the stamping up catalogue. Jase & I joined a winery tour today - was a great way to meet some different people & to see & learn a little bit about some of the local wineries. Feel quite isolated without my home internet connection though!

thunderpants inspired

Here it is Karen - inspired by thunderpants! Had fun doodling. Love that I found that quote - fits the pic very aptly! Got my hands on clean & simple the sequel by Cathy Z today - such a good read so far!!! Also got a letter from Pride Publishing - they want one of my A-Z Lo's for publication in issue 44 - so exciting (just wish I live with a bunch of scrappers who understand what this means to me - but then I 'd have to share my stash!). Donna also got a letter - congrats Donna! (her links down to the lower right of my blog) To all those scrap camping - this weekend - hope it's a good one at whichever camp you are at. I'm looking forward to mine next weekend!
