January Challenge

Welcome to 2020, and our first challenge for the year 😀

January Challenge
This month's requirements are:

• The colour Blue
• Add some Sequins or Confetti
• Use at least 3 layers

And here are our Creative Team pages to inspire you!

I used vellum inked around the edges as one of my layers and small confetti made by using a hole punch. I think it looks like water droplets, hopefully, you do too.

Continuing my theme of using up old or unwanted stock.  This page is made entirely from leftover bits and pieces.  The white cardstock was a piece I had already used (I'd sprinkled it with black ink drops) but I didn't like how it turned out and had cast it aside. I sprayed it with blue ink, positioned my photo and layered patterned paper (all leftover pieces from my scrap basket) over the worst of it and covered the remains spots with the sequins.  The other bits and bobs were remaining pieces from various packets which invariably end up in a small bowl I keep on my scrap desk – you never know what you might find in there.

Welcome to the New Year everyone.  I embraced our first challenge for the start of the year with a summer theme.  Lots of layers with paint and patterned papers in blue with the base also in blue with a little paint.  A few sequins scattered and layout completed.

This layout is quite fun to do and very easy to put together.  I have used it  a few times with different papers.   I hope you have been inspired and look forward to seeing your entries.  Until next time..happy scrapping.....Liz.

Have fun everyone!   Looking forward to seeing your creations!

Welcome to our December Challenge...

And here are our Creative Team pages to inspire you!

This month I have continued to delve into the dim, dark recesses of my overflowing stash and pulled out the remains of a Scenic Route kit (another company that ceased to be many, many years ago).  I am honestly not sure why I hang onto bits of card stock, off cut papers, leftover embellishments in the hope "they may come in useful someday"!  Well, today was the day to create some bright, happy Christmas cards - it is December after all!

thanks for looking,

This month I have created a sweet 'peek a boo'  layout.  I too have been using up some papers that I have had in my stash.  There is always a piece of paper for the right photo.

For the challenge, I have used green ribbon flowers and some green ivy in the patterned paper., finished off with some bling scattered around embellishments.

and here is the 'peek a boo' door.

Thanks for taking the time to look and hope that you will get your 'cuppa' and a bickie or 2 and settle down and join in the challenge.
Until next time.....
Happy scrapping   Liz

I've used a ruby rock-it border paper cut in half on the right of my layout.
The photo allowed me to "go wild" with embellishments and trims. I used strips of thin green ribbon under the photo mat and across the bottom as well.
The Kaisercraft green bling flowers hinted at a tropical mood too.

Have fun everyone.. Looking forward to seeing your creations!

November Challenge

Welcome to our first Bickie Tin challenge!!

We are aiming at keeping things very simple and relaxed here, scrapping for the fun of it, relaxed ideas to keep your mojo ticking along.  Each month we will have 3 requirements, and you are open to creating anything you wish, a scrap page, a set of cards, mixed media item or OTP item... As long as we can see the basic requirements it's all good!

3 requirement to inspire you as you wish.......... there are no other rules!

Well no that's not true, there are 2 rules:

• All images are copyrighted to whom posted them, don't use without permission.
• Be nice

Create a layout, a set of 3 cards or any OTP item you wish!

This month's requirements are;

• Include the colour Red - a little or lot, it's up to you
• Add a Die-cut
• Have a torn edge or two

Upload to via our Linky and/or to our Facebook album.

Check out what our Creative Team came up with...

Liz Hocking:
How exciting to be part of this new inspirational blog.  I hope you will make a cuppa and perhaps grab a Bickie or 2 and see what the team has created for you to enjoy.

I thought this was a good opportunity to get ahead of the game and create some cards ready for Christmas.
I made a set of 3 to get started.

Here is a closer look for you of each card.  I mostly used some Kaisercraft die cuts, along with some bling and teamed with some ribbon and bling.

For this card, I tore a little corrugated cardboard for a little different with a die-cut from Kaiser.

For my next card, I used a little leftover Prima paper that I had in my stash, along with a Kaiser Reindeer die-cut and the love bauble.

I hope that you have enjoyed this little inspiration and that you will join in the fun.   Until next time, Happy scrapping/cardmaking

Super thrilled to be part of this new venture.

For our first challenge I thought I might take the opportunity of using up some old supplies from my stash - does anyone remember Hambly Screen Print transparencies?  I have a small pile of these – they are so old the company is no longer in existence so I may well be overdue in using one!  To these, I have added a rose die cut and paper from a rather dated Prima collection and did some edge tearing and bending.  I am very happy with the result. Hope this might inspire you to get out those older supplies and reduce that stash.

thanks for looking,

Jane xx

Hi everyone. I've made a layout.

I had 2 matching papers in different colours that went with the theme of the wedding; red and turquoise.
The die cuts are the corner covers on the bottom photo.

That's all for this month
