May Challenge

Welcome to another month at Daring You To Scrap!
Winners for last month were announced on the Daring You To Scrap facebook page. Check it out here.

This month we are once again sponsored by Polly! Scrap Kits.
For your chance to win a $15 gift voucher you must have your layouts linked to this post by midnight 31st May.

Before I introduce you all to this months challenge, I do have an announcement.
I want to offer the reins of this challenge blog over to someone else...could it be you?
I had so much love for the challenges when it first started, and I still do but Uni and my business are really taking over and I simply don't have enough time anymore to devote to everything I have going on. So something had to go. If you do have an interest in taking the blog over, and creating your own dares then please e-mail me at kayla.r@live.com with your interest. Otherwise unfortunately this will be the last dare.

THIS MONTHS CHALLENGE

Create a page based on a list....this list could be anything. A list of favourites, a list of groceries, a list of events??? It's up to you!

Here are the design teams fantastic layouts.

March Challenge.

So I am posting this just a little bit early since I have committments tomorrow and I know people like to trawl the challenge blogs early.


Thank you every one for their entries last month, I love seeing each & every one. A winners announcement will come soon.


This month we welcome a new sponsor. The lovely Becci makes some awesome crochet flowers & trims. I was lucky enough to win a prize on her blog and I can tell you from seeing them that they are of the most beautiful quality.

Here is a bit of blurb about Becci's Lime Tree Creations business.

Lime Tree Creations was born out of my personal need to hand crocheted doilies and trims for my scrap booking projects. Very quickly I was approached by other scrappers to supply them too and soon I was selling various items on my personal scrap booking blog Beccis Scrap Journal. Within a few months I knew I would have to branch out and give my creations a name and it’s very own blog. In December 2010 Lime Tree Creations was born with it’s first official sale going live in January 2011.

Lime Tree Creations stocks high quality hand crocheted doilies, flowers and trims in stunning colour combinations that change every month. All items are crocheted and produced by myself. I am always trying something new and am very excited about some new items coming in the next few months.

Lime Tree Creations sponsors many challenges all of which can be found on our blog as well as running our very own Monthly Giveaway and Monthly Competition.

You can find us at Lime Tree Creations blog and our FaceBook page too.

We also have the regular sponsor (my business)

which you can find at www.pollyscrap.com.au

 THE MARCH CHALLENGE

Create a page using 'oldschool' photos like photostrips (from a photobooth) or polaroids. Of course not everybody has access to the equipment like photobooths or polaroid cameras so we have provided a couple of links on how to make them yourselves.

1.Creating Photobooth Strips from your digital pictures
2. Making mini polaroid instagrams
3. Instagram photostrips

The Design Team came up with some awesome examples this month. I hope they inspire you to give it a go!
