Scrappers island!

One of my favourite stores, Two Scrapbook Friends, is having a fun contest over the summer called Scappers Island. Each week they'll be posting a new challenge and you have six days to work on the challenge and post your work. I'm not sure yet how people will move forward from week to week, but the general idea is that some people will get "voted off" the island - sometimes because they miss the deadline, or don't follow the guidelines of the challenge, etc., so by the end of the 8 weeks, only one scrapbooker will be left on the 'island'.

Week 1 Challenge

The first week's challenge was a Sketch by Karan Gerber (link to her blog can be found on my list of favourites I visit, and she also has a sketch blog).


I used some lovely papers from the Dancing Jewel collection by Kaiser Craft. I also used some of the black Coredinations paper with the pink colour core, and sanded it so that some of the pink came through, and distressed the edges with scissors. I chose to use a photo of one of my lovely nieces as I felt like using a more girly paper than I usually use, and I just loved this recent picture of my niece.
