"BE INSPIRED" - September 1

For those of you who haven't been over to The Lounge in a while we have had a new fortnightly challenge happening for a while now.
On the 1st and 15th of each month a new inspiration is uploaded.

Our lovely Creative Team member, Jody (aka "scrappyjo"), has been finding the most gorgeous inspirational prompts for us each fortnight and asking us to scrap a LO/card/OTP based on what inspires us from that fortnight's prompt.
This fortnight's is no exception.....

(click on the image to enlarge it)

Isn't it just a gorgeous photo...???
Makes me think of summer and the beach and I love the little lace bag.
And that red definitely gives it the "wow" factor.

So if you would like to enter the draw for a RAK of goodies from Jody, all you need to do is scrap a layout, a card or an OTP and upload it to The Lounge gallery by midnight, September 14.
We can't wait to see what you come up with.

Wishing all the Dads, step-Dads, Grandads, uncles, brothers, sons, out there a very happy Father's Day.

And a happy, scrappy Sunday to the wonderful women behind these wonderful guys.

IS THERE ANYBODY STILL OUT THERE...???

Hello...???
Is there anybody still visiting our poor negelected blog.
Life gets so busy sometimes.....things get put on the back burner and our poor blog was a casualty of my busy life.

Hopefully this is the first of regular blog posts to keep you up-to-date on things happening on The Lounge - and there are some BIG things happening in the coming months.....
STAY TUNED...!!!!

This month's sketch challenge was designed by our wonderful Creative Team member, Miss Danie.

I just LOVE this sketch....it's so versatile and you can move the elements around the page and still be "true" to the sketch.
Here is how our Creative Team and our guest CT member, Mel McKenzie interpreted the sketch.

 
Danie's Example

Jody's Example

Kym's Example

Mel's Example

Aren't they all just stunning...???
All the girls used elements from kits they received from this month's Creative Team sponsor, My2Angels



Tracy sent the girls each one of her newly launched "Embellish Me Kits" which you can subscribe to each month.
These kits are chock-o-block full of embellie-goodness and sell out quickly.
And they are fantastic value for money.
Let's face it girls.....one can NEVER have too many embellies in their stash now can they....???

The girls also had to scrap a LO using the technique, "Paper Tearing and Scrunching"
I am sure this is THE perfect technique to do after a frustrating day dealing with grumpy little ones, husbands and partners and demanding bosses...LOL

Here are the LOs that the girls designed using this technique.

Mel's Example

Kym's Example


Jody's Example

Danie's Example

All the girls used embellishments from the kits provided by My2Angels on their technique LOs.

So....why not give one of our monthly challneges a go....???
Upload your interpretation of the sketch or an example of the technique of paper tearing and scrunching, into our gallery by midnight, September 30 and you could win yourself a prize pack valued at $15.00.
You can scrap a LO, a card or an OTP.
Go on....be adventurous.

Wishing you all a very happy, scrappy start to Spring
