Fat Book Challenge – Weeks 74/75
Due to a slight tecnical hitch, the challenge has been set a week early – so please carry on and do the last one set by Shaz too!
Alison has eagerly set this challenge, which is called
FOOD GLORIOUS FOOD
Please feel free to use any materials you like, food packaging, pictures from magazine, stickers, drawings or how about taking a photo of your Easter lunch and using that on your page. And I’m sure plenty of you will have rubber stamps with food on as I’ve seen some gorgeous House Mouse stamps with strawberries on!
Please put your challenge in the forum bucket when you have finished and post a comment on here to tell us. PM a Mod if you need the password.

Simon’s Triple Challenge – Number 2 (real post this time)
Right, having spent 2 days getting it how I wanted, I have to start again!!
I have made a slight change to the challenge: there will still be three themes – but you will get to choose which of the themes you want to use.
The projects stay the same:
Skinny Cards
Hidden Depths
(Check out the first challenge for details)
The themes this week all begin with the letter P
PASSION
PRESENTS
&
PUNCTUATION
You can explore these with whatever techniques and products you have.
Here are my samples:
Moo Cards – Punctuation
The bases of these were scraps of SEI papers from other projects. I used CACTUS PINK chipboard for the embellishments. Two are finished with pearly embossing powder, the question mark is ink followed by Glossy Accents. All very simple to do and a great way to use up scraps.
Skinny Cards – Presents and Passion
The Present skinny is a piece of purple/red card stock with an overall stamped design to look like wrapping paper. I then tied some thin ribbon and attached a stamped tag – simple – but effective – I hope.
The Passion skinny is Parisian Passion. I stamped a couple of images from a Crafty Individuals stamp. The card is embellished with torn strips of paper, a brad and a length of velvet ribbon. Quite rich and passionate – I thought!
Hidden Depths – Purple Passion
Another bit of thrifty crafting. I cut the base from the cover of my SEI pink and purple pad and altered the outside with Dusty Concord and Worn Lipstick distress inks. I added a metallic Prima flower for texture.
The inside is three panels of UTEE over inks – the middle panel has a Craft Individuals dragonfly stamp and the right hand panel has a Drama Queen tag.
Something a bit different.
I hope you enjoy playing and look forward to seeing the results
Simon’s Triple Challenges – Number 2
Grrr
This just managed to delete itself…
Got to start again from scratch…
Birthday Envelope Book Sample
In order to give you a better idea of what this project involves, here is a sample envelope and insert.
I have rather gone to town with decorating it – you don’t need to go quite so mad!
I started by taking my envelope and using distress inks and glimmer mists to take away the whiteness.
I then took a sheet of new Basic Grey Sultry 6×6 paper (which arrived this morning!) and used them to cover the front (in 2 in strips)
(this is the revised front – I didn’t like the dragonfly and so I added an address plate, some flowers and a bow!)
The Envelope flap is covered in another piece of paper – just attached with DST. I inserted a piece of card into the envelope (having first done a bit of inking and stamping) just to cover that gap.
The insert is just a piece of card with inks and stamps – it could be further decorated or just left blank ready for a message.
If you have any more questions, send me a message!
Birthday Envelope Books
Following the huge success of the birthday circle books last year, I thought we should find another way of celebrating our birthday and raising money for our charity – the Lymphoma Association.
This year, we will be making our books from decorated envelopes
There will be three sizes:
* DL
* C5
* C6
The themes this year are:
* Messy and Grungey
* Going Postal
* Love Letters
* A Blast from the Past
* Floral Memories
* Nature’s Wonders
* Seaside Fun
* Childhood
* Bugs and Critters
Each theme can be made in each size of envelope – so we could get three books for each theme!
And as with last year there will be teams of 6-8 people (who will elect a leader who will also be responsible for making up the books )
Each team member will obtain an envelope of the right size and cut a piece of card that is 10mm smaller on each dimension than the envelope.
The team will decide whether the envelopes are to be bound together in a landscape or portrait fashion (so that they all work together in the book)
And then you just decorate away – both the card insert and the envelope
Everything is to be sent to your chosen team leader by the published date – ready for the auctions….
Launch Date: Monday 17th March
Sign-Up by: Sunday 30th March
Teams Allocated: Tuesday 1st April
