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!

January Challenge.

Welcome to the very first challenge for Daring You To Scrap!
I am so excited to welcome 2012 with a new challenge to dare you with!!!

Firstly I would like to announce the sponsors for January.

Sponsor 1 - Polly! Scrap Kits & Supplies - $10 voucher
Polly! Scrap Kits is a new kit club & supply store. It has it's own forum, gallery and monthly challenges. Kits are realeased monthly and at very reasonable prices. A subscription and pre-order service is available to make ordering your kits easier!

Sponsor 2 - Charm's Creations - $15 voucher
A bit about Charms Creations.... I started creating my Lovely Lollipops just for my own scrapbooking pages in about February/March of this year. I saw that Scrapbooking Top 50 had a Craft Market that gives the opportunity to sell your own handmade embellishments, so thought I would make a few packets up and see how it goes! It went really well, so I thought I would make a few more packs up and try my hand selling them on my own personal blog too - my first sale was in April. That went really well too! I've had a sale a month, plus have been a regular at the Craft Market at SBT50 too. I've also set up a Facebook Shop where I have them available as well. I have LOTS of giveaways so to keep updated on those & upcoming sales - make sure you LIKE my Charms Creations Facebook Page & check out my blog Charms Creations! Each and every embellishment that I have created has been handcut {making them ALL totally unique} and can include a mixture of felt, fabric, lace, hessian, doiley & any other interesting piece of material I can find. They are finished off with a button and cross-stitches that are also as unique to the embellishment! I have started making different styles and sizes of Lovely Lollipops, Luscious Lollipops & Page Runners. Something NEW are my Suns and Clouds & also Heavenly Hearts too! I have also dabbled in a bit of clay stamping too. So, if you are looking for something totally unique and one of a kind please pop on over and check them out! I am soooo excited about sponsoring this month - and look forward to seeing what you all create! Have fun & Good Luck on winning the fab prizes up for grabs - including mine of course... heheh!

So onto the January challenge...

To be in the draw for one of the two gift vouchers, please link your dare interpretation below by midnight Jan 31.

and as promised, today comes the design team reveal post.

It was such a hard decision to only be able to pick so few of you to be on the Daring You To Scrap design team. I would love to have put everyone on the team, but there would have been almost no one left to actual enter these new challenges.

So, welcome the new design team.

You can check out all of their blogs if you click the  pictures on the right hand side bar.

Can’t wait to show you the first scrap dare on Jan 1!
