The gallery:
HERE
I've never been on a cruise, but, I've heard about those fancy
animal shaped towels . Ok, so we're not going to make fancy animal towels, unless you want to, but instead we're going to work on creating handmade, one of a kind element(s) for your page.
Digital scrapbookers: You can play along, go to the end!
Here's one example, I reated the flower myself:
And if you want to do exactly what I did, you can follow
this tutorial . Super easy and the effect is quite stunning. For my example, I used about a foot of ribbon. My suggestion is to just find a scrap old ribbon, play with it and experiment with the length. Once you get a hang of it, it'll take 5 minutes!
Want something else? How about a cute owl? Check
this template out . Did you see the flower that she did? Or, the heart that I made:
Or, how about handmade felt flowers? Make your own template and cut, cut, cut. You can't go wrong!
Do some stitching if you desire. Learn how to do a blanket stitch on
YouTube and then create a
stitched owl.
My Sample
Not into felt or ribbons? Use your paper. You can either cut up some pretty pattern paper and create your elements like this:
Cut up sample
OR, like these circle paper elements (you can also arrange these circles to look like flowers):
Or like this house:
Endless possibilities!
The challenge is basically, create a page where you use your own, handmade element(s), to embellish it.
Digital scrapbookers... your challenge is to create a page where there's something in there that you created yourself. For some tutorials, check out my videos:

For the tent... even paper will do. You can try clip-arts too in your Word and print it out for a template or do a Google image.

Yes, the ribbon's awesome. I was messing around with it and you can do small ones, big ones, etc. I used fabric glue to glue the button on the center. So far so good. I just let it sit dry for a few minutes. You can use the flowers for cards too.

You might be able to use your scallop/corner rounder punch for the snow effect. Hmm...

I'm definitely leaning toward felt - trees, tent and maybe rocks - but ummm... I don't have any at the moment. Maybe I'll just sandpaper some cardstock or something... wheels are turning anyway!

I'm just floored by your samples, Putri! How did you make the big, colourful flowers on your trike-a-thon page?

Everything on that layout was from a 12x12 paper that I patiently cut out
Oh, here's the link to the paper:

My piece was inspired by this:
See the resemblance?
Speaking of inspirations... what inspires you?
I love colors and so colors inspire me.
Work by other scrappers inspire me.
The pictures I work with inspire me.

Things are good with me! I'm just chatting tonight. Hopefully I can get a page or two done. If not, I will get them done this week while the kids are at summer school.

Yep - very cool!
I love structure and so sketches are a point of creative entry for me. Mostly it's the subject matter though:mrgreen:
