Rachael's Challenge Tuesdays at Divas

For this month Divas is celebrating Christmas in July.

To keep in this theme, our Challenge Tuesdays will be focusing on simple mini pages with a Christmas theme.

Rach is conducting this months FREE online class to tie in with the Challenge Tuesday pages by showing you how to create a simple faux paperbag album to place your completed challenge pages in, all in only a few easy steps.

Dont forget to drop by on the 22nd July 2007

The idea of Challenge Tuesdays is to complete a page without too much thinking and effort, so the CS and pp are the most important ingredients.

For this month Rach will be presenting a new Pagemaps sketch today as well as my example 5.5x5.5 page.

Rach will provide you with inspiration and motivation to get a few more pages into your albums, as well as exploring a few other tips, projects and techniques along the way.

Its all about enjoying the process!

See here for todays Challenge:http://www.scrapbookdivas.com.au/shop/phpbb/viewtopic.php?t=1404

We have announced the winners, here they are...

I was out to dinner on the Friday but from all accounts and the way the Gallery is looking, we all had a wonderful creative time.

We even had a little suprise and I'm sure most of the girls will agree, we were a little Star Strucked! Jen Hall came along and participated in the forum and even completed all 3 challenges!

See her blog here:http://jenhall.typepad.com/

she has done some of the most outstanding work I have EVER seen and she chose to play with us!

See your guys on the 27th July for more suprises!

kisses!

Mail Art

I mentioned in the Mail Art class
see forum class here: http://www.scrapbookdivas.com.au/shop/phpbb/viewtopic.php?t=1313&start=0

that if we have more than 5 examples of your Mail Art done using the instructions {found in the Free Online Class thread},
I will be picking the MOST CREATIVE and sending that creator a RAK
and
This little RAK will be very useful for ' Christmas in July" celebrations we have planned for that month. This is open to everyone, you need not have attended the class to be in the running.
Give it a go, its very easy and ver addictive.
Show off your creations in our Gallery for us all to see and please leave comments in the Gallery for those wonderful creations.
We love to get comments!

Deadline to have your creations on display midnight this Friday the 29th I will announce the winner of MOST CREATIVE on Sunday of the Cyber Crop Weekend

Hey ! and the kids have taken hold of this idea and run with it!
Great idea for the school holidays!
So if the kids are interested, have them upload their Mail Art creations to our Gallery and I will pick a random creator and sent them a RAK too!

Scrapbookdivas Update

Hi Girls

I just wanted to let you know that the website is currently experiencing some further technical difficulties and I will keep you informed but I am hoping this will be rectified today.
The servers will be changed this week to further avoid these delays.

We thankyou again for your patience
Please contact me { vicky } here or Michelle on her Home e-mail address.


Cheers and have a great day

I've been tagged!!!, by the lovely Sam...........

This will be tricky Sam, but I will have a go!

Each player starts with 7 random facts/habits about themselves. People who are tagged need to blog about their seven things and post the rules as well. At the end of your blog, you need to choose 7 people to get tagged and list their names. Don't forget to leave them a comment telling them that they have been tagged and to read your blog! OK, here goes...

1/ I went OS when I was 19, got drunk, fell over and came home.
2/ My father died of Leginella Disease at the Alfred Hospital, it was a cover up, we suspect he contracted it there.
3/ My family is from South Australia, but I was born here.
4/ I nearly choke myself when sleeping as I wrap the doona around too tight.
5/ I'm a Big Brother Fan.
6/ My Great Great Great Grandmother sewed the Ureka Flag
7/ I laugh a little too late at Jokes.
I tag Simone, Jode, Fleur, Louise, Michelle, Tiena and ummmmm Bon!!
I dont mind if you have already done it!
See ya!

These ideas will be great for everyone who comes to our fabulous gallery.
