March Scrap Map Challenge at Creative Craft World
It’s time for another Scrap Map Challenge over at the Creative Craft World blog.
We had so much fun last month we have decided to do another design team blog hop this month to show you the projects we all made using Sue’s sketch for this month. Pop over to the blog to see the sketch and if you want to start from the beginning of the blog hop that’s the place to be!
You should have arrived here from Susi’s blog Susibee’s Crafty Mess - and I’m almost the last stop this month so your next stop is back to the CCW blog!
Dont forget to leave a comment on all the blogs in order to be entered into the prize draw, plus there is another prize up for grabs if you use the sketch and link us up.
Happy Crafting!
Creative Craft World February Mini Challenge
The new February mini kit is launched today at Creative Craft World. The kit has a fab selection of papers from the My Minds Eye Unforgettable collection – some gorgeous turquoise and pinks that are unfortunately not showing up very well on my photo’s. I’ll have to wait for the weekend and try and take some pictures in daylight – I hate this time of year for photographing craft projects!
The kit also has lots of ribbon, flowers, enamel dots and washi tape.
So why not go and check out the post over on the Creative Craft World challenge blog, you can join in the challenge with any mini project that you make this month whether it is a card, layout, ATC, Project Life card – so long as it is smaller than 12×12 you can enter and you could win a fab prize!

Make sure you leave a comment on each blog along the way to be entered into the prize draw!
It was so nice to scrap these lovely sunshiny pictures from a couple of years ago on a cold January day, while the piles of snow from the weekend are still melting on my garden. Sometimes I feel like I will never be warm again 
I used papers from Echo Park’s Paradise Beach collection (perfect for summer pictures!) along with plenty of Silhouette die cuts.
Here’s a full list of blogs participating in the blog hop this month…

Christmas Countdown – Day 20
A little change from Christmassy things today as we launch this month’s mini challenge and the new Mini Kit over on the Creative Craft World blog. The kit is full of gorgeous Echo Park papers, here’s a couple of cards I made.
Pop over to the blog to see what the others came up with….
Creative Craft World – October Mini Challenge
I must say, this months mini kit from Creative Craft World is just gorgeous! The papers are all from the Teresa Collins Tell Your Story range along with co-ordinating die cut flowers, gems and stickers. There was loads too – I made 5 cards but I probably could have managed another 1 or 2!
You can see what the rest of the design team made over at the Creative Craft World blog, and don’t forget to show us your mini projects to be in with a chance of winning!
October Scrap Map Challenge at Creative Craft World
Yes, it’s that time again! And it would appear to be a month since I last blogged – eeek!
Well never mind, at least I have something to share, creativity has been a bit thin on the ground of late, but I do feel a bit more inclined to play with my pretty papers at the minute so shall keep going while the going is good!
I made this layout using the latest Scrap Map Saturday sketch, which you can see over at the Creative Craft World blog, along with all the other pages that the design team have created.
I used Echo Park Paradise Beach papers, both 12×12 and 6×6. Funnily enough I wasn’t really sure if I would use these papers when I bought them as some of the patterns are a bit, er, specific, shall we say? Flip flops and surf boards, anyone? However the B-sides all have lovely patterns so I have found those much more usable and they are coming in handy for scrapping Cornwall pictures from earlier in the year.
The title and sunburst patterns were cut on the Silhouette, and I apparently can’t get enough of Studio Calico wood veneer shapes at the moment, they are my embellishment of choice!
September Scrap Map Challenge at Creative Craft World
Oh my goodness, I can’t believe it is September already! Where has the last few months gone?!
Anyway, it’s time for another Scrap Map Challenge at the Creative Craft World blog. You can see the sketch that I used as inspiration for my layout over there, along with the other layouts from the rest of the Design Team.
I took these pictures back in March this year when we had a day out on the East Lancs railway. Jamie enjoyed riding on the steam train!
Creative Craft World – July Mini Challenge
I’m a little bit late posting this month – I don’t even have a particularly good excuse apart from being extra busy at work!
Lou sent me one of the lovely mini kits this month, packed full of Studio Calico loveliness.
All I added was a few stamps…
A couple of teeny tiny sparkly gems…
And lots of Silhouette Cameo die cuts of course!
So now we want to see what you can do – your project needs to be smaller than 12×12 and this month’s theme is MONOCHROME.
Hop over to the Creative Craft World Challenge blog to see what the rest of the design team came up with and add a link to your project for a chance to win a prize!
