2nd layout for night 2 of Forever Always Cybercrop

This challenge required us to mix our own cocktail and come up with our own recipe for our LO. I chose my favourite cocktail, the mojito!

Ingredients:
-mint = green (OK, so there's minimal mint in the LO, but it's there!)
-lime juice = yellow
-light rum and/or club soda = clear to clear and light brown, so I interpreted as = transparency + light brown as 3rd colour
-sugar = whitish/glittery element of some sort = I've used Stickles glitter glue sparingly to highlight a few of the shapes on my LO

Materials list:
-Bazzill
-Basic Grey and Jasart papers
-Collections chipboard left raw for the light brown look
-Hambly Screen Prints transparency
-Stickopotamus stickers
-KI Memories letter stickers
-Marvy pen and staples

It's hard to make out, but the title of my LO is "Iconic Fairmont".

Forever Always Cybercrop Sketch Challenge

This was a great challenge - we had to:
1. Follow a sketch
2. Use either cream, dk brown and light brown colour scheme (mudslide cocktail), red/orange/white (tequila sunrise) or white/green/orange (Harvey wallbanger)
3. Use 3 of either ribbon, buttons, doodling, hearts and a transparency

I've been doing lots of brights lately, so decided to go with the browns. Was lucky enough to find this Daisy D's paper that already had part of my title on it, as well as a button! Didn't want to clutter the page too much, so just chose ribbon and doodled round the edge of my page as my 2 other chosen embellishments.

Other materials:
-Bazzill
-Creative Imaginations as well as the Daisy D's paper
-C. Imaginations letter stickers
-Tim Holtz journalling tag

My first ever Cybercrop!


Decided to join in the June Cybercrop on the Forever Always forum. The first challenge was in homage to the movie "Cocktails", with a choice of completing a "Bryan Brown" or "Tom Cruise" layout. I picked the "Tom Cruise" one - criteria of bright colours, stars and doodling.
Materials:
-Bazzill
-Basic Grey and various papers from challenge pack (not sure what brand)
-K&Co chipboard letters
-Heidi Grace letter stickers
-Heidi Swapp flower
-Ribbons
-German scrap
-Stars from Lincraft or $2 shop (can't remember)
The photo is of a good friend. Journalling is about how we found a great little gelateria in Vancouver selling the most divine green tea gelati. We had it almost every night eventhough it was so cold! :)

Sunrise



The flash didn't work too well with the photograph, but then without the flash the photo was blurry! So have included the LO itself photographed with flash, and a close-up of the photo without flash...if this makes any sense!
Anyway, kept this simple - materials:
-Papers by My Memories and K&C0
-Stickers by K&Co
-Letters by KI Memories
-Ribbons
-Journalling page by C. Imaginations
-Flowers by H. Swapp and Kaiser
-Rhinestones by Me and My Big Ideas

One Fine (Winter) Day


I've been wanting to scrap the photos from my trip to western side of Canada since 2004! Slowly getting round to them...getting sick of the blue/white/gray colours, so decided to think outside the box with this predominantly yellow and green layout. Bit of a messy, random feel with this, but I thought it fit the topic of snow.
Materials:
-Bazzill
-Basic Grey and Jasart papers
-Hambly Screen Prints transparency
-Collections chipboard letters
-C. Imaginations and KI Memories letter stickers
-Stickers are I think Stickopotamus
-Marvy pen and staples

Angry Mob

Journalling around the photo reads "Francine, Duy and Yen modelling their souvenir aprons purchased in Madrid (utensils not included - these were the property of the serviced apartment that we stayed in). I have mixed feelings about Seville...on the one hand, a beautiful city...on the other hand, we saw more of flyovers and Carrefour than anything else! This was also the place where Yen and I got nasty gastro from 1 day old paella or chicken!" I think this says it all!

Materials:
-Bazzill
-Papers by 3 Bugs in a Rug and KI Memories
-Die cut letters by Basic Grey
-Dymo labeller
-Decorative scissors and circle punch
-Ink pad and Marvy pen

Lost in this Moment

This LO took me 2 hours to complete, but I am very happy with it as it incorporates all of my favourite things - bright colours including my favourite colour, pink, crowded layout with multiple layers, lots of bling, flowers and texture, and it's also about one of my best friends! :)

Materials:
-Bazzill background cardstock and scalloped heart
-Creative Imaginations paper
-Prima brads and flowers
-Christina Re rhinestone brads
-7Gypsies tape
-K&C0 chipboard letters and DCWV letter stickers
-Surgical gauze, torn and inked lightly with an ink pad
-Sticky netting that I bought off ebay
-Staples

My first ever Forever Always Recipe Scrap!


Well, I was late as I assumed the Recipe Scrap would start at 7.30pm WA TIME! But managed to finish by 10pm WA time regardless. Realised at the end I'd got it a bit wrong (journalling and bottom circle/embellishment wrong way round), but never mind - I think it works the way it is. Was a bit wary about the doodling at first as I don't do this often, but when I'd finished, I agreed that it probably did finish off the LO.

Materials:

-Bazzill

-Paper by Scenic Route Paper Co and C. Imaginations

-Journalling tag by K&Co

-Letters by C. Imaginations and Bo Bunny

-Flowers by We R Memory Keepers and brads by Craft Affair

-Vellum embellishments/journalling by Deja Views

This was fun! :)
