3,2,1 .... Go!

Hello Everyone,

Rather later than anticipated (forgive me, we have been a bit birthdayed out over the last 10 days in our household and everything has got behind!), we have our August Blog Challenge.

This month we are having a 3,2,1 challenge.  Create a layout, card or off-the-page item using the following recipe:-

3 embellishments
2 patterned papers
1 image/photo

How you wish to interpret this is up to you but this is the basic recipe and we will leave you to have fun cooking up your creative masterpiece!

To get you started I have a couple of cards to share created by the lovely Tracy using the recipe above.


3 embellishments: Flowers, Adage Ticket, Feather with die
2 Patterned Papers - Prima Nature Garden
1 Image - From Nature Garden Paper


3 Embellishments - Ribbon, Dazzler, Die-cut leaf sprig
2 Patterned Papers - the patterned papers were created by Tracy using Stamps and chalks
1 Image - IndigoBlu stamp image  from Wild Meadow stamped in Faded Jeans Distress Ink

I am sure you get the idea. We will randomly choose the winner and you can enter up to three times as long as they are different creations.  The winner will win a £20 Bellaboo e-voucher, so definitely worth entering :). All that we ask is that one of the main products you use on your creation is a Bellaboo product ie a stamp, patterned paper, one of our kits, a mask etc and mention this on your Blog post with a link.  If you don't have a blog you can still enter, just send me an email with a photo of your creation. Please either email through your entries or add them to the inlinkz icon below by midnight on Monday 2nd September GMT (slightly extended as we are late getting going this month).  

Do have a go, we can't wait to see your entries :).

Happy Crafting!

Flower Show Finale

Hello Everyone,

I have one final layout to share with you from the Flower Show Challenge that came in by email late last night.


This stunning layout by Deb Whittaker uses the papers from October Afternoon's 'Woodland Park' range. The flowers in the papers pick up and emphasise the beauty of the flowers from Deb's photos from her visit to the Eden Project - so a double whammy of floral splendour!

I am sure you will agree that I couldn't not share this beautiful layout.

The winner of the Challenge will be announced later today.

Happy Crafting!

Kate xx
