Inspired By: Mandy Dodd

When I saw Mandy Dodd’s Let’s Get Shabby blog, I was blown away by her amazing layouts.  I’m sure you will agree that they are so texture and detail rich that you can’t help but me enamoured by them.  Each time I look at them I find more details that I didn’t notice the first time.  The layering adds so much depth and gives each piece a three dimensional quality.  Each one can also stand on it’s own as a piece of art.

 

Mandy hails from Tasmania, Australia where she lives with her husband and three daughters.  Mandy lives in an idyllic spot. "a beautiful old house by the sea." Her love of antiques and flea markets comes across in the shabby vintage feel depicted in her layouts.

Check out Mandy’s personal blog , A Teacup of Scrapisms here and her Let’s Get Shabby blog here.

Eco Scrapbooking Ideas

Here are some more ideas for eco scrapbooking and paper crafting projects.  To see our previous posts on this topic, please click here.

Sheila of Cheeky Magpie made these pretty little flower blooms (below) from pages from an old book.  See her how-to instructions and more photos here.

Fleur Smith took an old container for Tetley Tea and turned it into this altered box below.  She plans to use it for holding favourite recipes from both her and her husband’s families.

Angela Ploegman made a piggy bank made out of an old formula can and a paper wallet. "The intent is for my son to save for summer trips with the piggy bank and then be able to carry his saved money with him in the wallet. Even though the paper wallet is made from new paper, paper wallets are inexpensive and biodegradable versus wallets made from synthetic materials or leather."

Nerissa Alford altered the frame shown below. "The frame is a wood frame blank I picked up from Michael’s for a dollar.  I recycled my anthropologie catalog & cut it into squares.  That was the background for my frame.  I modge podged the catalog pieces, doodled with my sakura pens, & added some dresden foils." Check out Nerissa’s cute shop here.

Audrey Neal - Letters & Words Challenge "Thought Bubbles"

Each week I do a Letters & Words challenge, which focuses on using letters or words as a design element. The idea is to encourage scrappers to become more comfortable with using the written word — in lots of creative ways — on their layouts. These challenges are posted every Monday morning, with sample layouts from a variety of scrappers in the digital community (although the challenges aren’t digital-focused), and layout links are due by midnight each Friday.

The current challenge is called, "Thought Bubbles" and is posted here.


Vintage Plum - Weekly Challenge June 22nd - 28th "Make the most of it!"

This weeks challenge is to make the most of the images on your paper.  You can make anything with this challenge such as, a card, layout, altered project…whatever you desire! To see an example go

.

During that entire week, all forum members will be able to vote for their favorites (you can vote for more than one) and the project that receives the most votes by Sunday at 8pm cst will be the winner of that challenge.  The winner will have their name and project displayed in a special place.

We will also do a random drawing at the close of the contest and one lucky contestant will win a $5.00 gift certificate to be used toward a future kit purchase.  Please note that there is only one entry per person for the drawing even if you entered more than one project.
