They are playing some fun games and doing 3 challenges. I have examples for the following:

Challenge One

RECIPE CHALLENGE

3+ other patterned papers

Arrows (you chose how many)

Enamel dots (you chose how many)

Challenge Three

THIS or THAT CHALLENGE

BOY themed or GIRL themed

BLUE tones or PINK tones

BLING or BRADS

FLOWERS or CHIPBOARD

TWINE or WASHI

PAINT or INK

My choices were:

This or That
Used boy, blue, bling, cb, washi and ink. The nautical buttons and the title are cb stickers. I particularly wanted to use bling on a blue page. I've said boy because it's not a girly page.

Any entries only placed onto our wall will not be included in the prize draw. Entries must be your original work created exclusively for our Cyber Crop. International entries welcome.

Cyber Crop- Hollywood theme

I'm very excited to tell you about something special going on at ARTastic this weekend. They're holding a cyber crop. It is Hollywood themed. How fun is that? I was asked to create a challenge for it. I just love my challenge and I hope you do too. Here it is:

JUNE CYBER CROP

Base your layout on the Hollywood Walk of Fame logo, using any number of the following criteria:

1. Feature any of the words Hollywood, Walk, Fame.
2. Use the colours of the logo: pink, gold, black and white.
3. Use the design of the logo as a sketch.
4. Use one giant star as the feature of your page.

I've use all of the colours in my layout. I very loosely followed the logo and I three different stars, as well as the title.

I really can't wait to see the entries for this.

ARTastic are having a Cyber Crop!

Wow. ARTastic are having a cyber crop.  You will love this one. It is about shapes. Easy subject matter.

I wanted to do something really fun. I chose to make a mini album for my son's 22nd birthday. He has moved to Sydney to work.  Very sad about that, but a great opportunity for him.

I had a Kaisercraft circle chipboard album that I thought would work. I also chose a couple of 6x6 paper packs to draw from. Blue and red seemed a great colour combination for a 22 year old guy.

Firstly, I used some Semco soft blue acrylic paint to give 3 coats of paint to one side of each circle.

I chose complementary papers and covered the other sides using Mod Podge. I also punched some stars from the offcuts of the papers.

Last thing was to choose embellishments. I wanted to keep it simple.  I used die cuts, ribbon and stickers. I put the whole thing together using a jump ring.

I love how it turned out. I hope it make it to him in the post in one piece. I miss him a lot.

Mystical cyber crop - A gold, black and white layout

Mystical Scrapbooks' cyber crop is in progress.

I've had a go at Tracey's mood board challenge. I love the colour scheme she has chosen.  Here is my layout.

I didn't have any new year's eve photos as we didn't do anything to celebrate last year. I've chosen to scrap a photo from a party I went to this year. It had the right colour tones and happy note that the challenge asks for. I encourage you to have a go.

Here is the mood board Tracey came up with.

Above is the layout I did for my challenge. It is called My First Performance. It is about my first performance with the Chorus I'm in, A Cappella West. We sang at the Little Hands Festival in Melville. It was just up the street from my home and therefore very convenient. It was a lovely day and there was a good turn out of people. The two little fairies in the front enjoyed our singing. There were also two big fairies, grown women dressed as fairies, following us around. I'm the one in black on the left side of the photo.

Travel/Holiday Cyber Crop

Mystical Scrapbook's cyber crop has begun.  Go here to find the gallery to put your entries and here to find out what the challenges are. 

Mystical Scrapbooks cyber crop - my challenge

Last night kicked off a cyber crop at Mystical Scrapbooks. The theme is fantastic - travel/holiday. Everyone has photos from these events they need to scrap. I have many.

For my challenge I have created a double page spread. It is a mirror image one, meaning that the left side mirrors the right. I have 3 photos on each page and have cute two pieces of patterned paper in half to create cohesion across the pages. I've added some complementary strips across the middle to join them together.

This method is a nice and easy way to match your pages up for the one subject on two pages. My challenge for you is easy. Simply create a double page spread or scrap lift the left side or the right side page. I look forward to seeing what you come up with. Load your work into the Mystical gallery before the week ends and you may win a prize. Good luck.

Products list:

Echo Park Springtime - Spring border strips paper and Element Stickers
Echo Park This and That alphas
lilibee double dutch croquet paper
My Mind's Eye Lime Twist, Happy Go Lucky "Together" lines paper
doodlebug designs boys only pop art paper
Basic Grey Knee Highs and Bow Ties stickes and chipboard buttons
Basic Grey Lime Ricky/Rob Roy paper
orange and white twine
Little Yellow Bicycle Clothesline cs stickers
Indigo ink - Versa
CM red pen

Cyber Crop at Mystical - Travel/Holiday theme

Come and join in at Mystical Scrapbooks on Friday, 3 January for a weekend of fun. You will have a week to get your entries in to the challenges.

Cyber crop time - In Top Shape

If you haven’t already guessed the theme for this months cybercrop is shapes. We have three different shapes picked and all you have to do is use that shape as your inspiration for your layout – to kick it off we will provide you with some inspiring pictures on Pinterest of the shape we have chosen and then inspire you with our sample layouts.

You have until Midnight Friday 11th October to get your layouts into the Mystical Scrapbooks Gallery for your chance to win and if you feel like chatting with us while we scrap then please join us on the Mystical Scrapbook Facebook Page.

Tracey chose circles, Anita chose square and I chose triangles. There are so many inspiring triangle shapes you can use but I decided to go with something a bit different than most.

Here is my Pinterest board: http://www.pinterest.com/daisydokes/2013-october-mood-board/

Here is my layout:

I've used CM triangle CC shapes to create the triangles out of black cardstock and a black and white striped paper. On the black triangles I've used a gold pen to outline.  I used a Crafter's Template with mini chevrons and gold paint and then outlined the shapes with a brown and copper pen to highlight it.

Get  your entries in now ladies and gents.

Cyber crop at Mystical

I've scrapped two pages from my copy kat kit for Mystical Scrapbooks today.  Here is the first one. A cricket page, presentation day for Leeming Under 15s 2 years ago.

The second one is of Damon's birthday dinner last year.

All up I got 3 layouts out of the one kit. No paper left but still plenty of other bits.

Head over to the Mystical blog for all the CC details.

Scrap Boutique November Cyber Crop

I put in 3 layouts for this cyber crop. It had a royal theme to it which I liked.
The first was a sketch layout. You also had to use king, queen, etc. in the title. Here is the sketch:

Here is my layout entitled King Henry. It is a photo of Henry the 8th's armour as seen by me in the British Museum last month.

Another challenge was where you had to add bling. I entered this Pink concert layout.

The last  one was Kate Middleton's challenge which was to use pink, kraft, black and white and an Elton John song title. Elton had a song called Love Song. My entry is entitled "love" and shows me as a bridesmaid when I was a young woman. It is very girly and a bit out of the box for me. Hope you like it.
