As most of you know I am Creative Team Member for a few Challenge Blogs & I thought I would share them with you along with my samples - hopefully to get you maybe to scrap one or two over the weekend :)
First of all is the 123 Challenge Blog that I am Admin on - this has been running since Nov 2006! This year is going to be even more exciting - with our regular Websites who donate and some brand new ones too! We will also be having some Guest Designers as well - so stay tuned for that!
OK, so here is my January 123 Challenge sample for 2012

To find out the Challenge check it out HERE

I have used my White Mixed Fabulous Flowers, along with a Teal & Black Page Runner.... and a Silver Xmas Lovely Lollipop & Page Runner that I specially made up :)

and I love how the "splats" worked out :)

The next challenge is White With One - which I have been a CT member for quite a while and is a very popular challenge blog.... here is my January White with One challenge sample...

to find out the challenge - check it out HERE

I have used Lime Green & White Lovely Lollipops & crochet from Lime Tree Creations...

and a Lime Green & White Page Runner - which I have also specially made up :)

ohh and a great chance to use my white Cute clouds!
so I wonder what the criteria is?? It's obvious the colour is Lime Green!
Next challenge is a Sketch challenge - and I find Sara's Stuck?! Sketches the easiest to work with when I really am Stuck?!
January 1st Sketch sample looks like this...

Check out the sketch HERE! I have slightly altered it to fit the angle of my photos....

a closeup! I have used a Grassy Green Lovely Lollipop...

and another Custom Made Page Runner to suit my layout - Lime Green and Light Teal...
Last but definitely not least is Show Us Your Stuff Challenge One... I love this blog - because its all about using HANDMADE items - so this is always going to be up my alley! So if you buy or make your own why not give this a go...

There are 2 challenges each month at SUYS and the first one is usually a sketch from Sara - you can check it out HERE

Here I have used my Cute Cloud & also a Pinwheel from "Ah Scrap!"

I have used Lil Red Rocket Hot Pink & Denim felt flowers & Charms Creations Hot Pink & Denim Page Runner and a Denim Fabulous Flower...

and the journalling :)
Soooo.... I hope this will inspire you to give at least ONE of these challenges a go over the weekend! If you do please share a link in the comments section below so that I can check it out!
I'm off to scrap with some scrappy internet friends - a few that I haven't met before so its just a bit exciting!
See you when I get back!
xoxo Charmane
