<span style="font-family: inherit;">Unfortunately we did not have sufficient eligible entries to award prizes for our final month however I would like to offer a <span style="background-color: white; text-align: center;">huge thank you to everyone who joined in with our challenges on Pixels and Paper over the last few years. We so appreciated your support and encouragement and were thrilled with your delightful entries.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">There are a lot of scrapbooking, card and mixed media challenges both in blog and Facebook format who are currently struggling for entries each month - please support them. Without entries the chances are they won't be able to continue to offer not only the challenges but the associated prizes, the guest designer spots, the educational tutorials or the opportunity to belong to their design teams. Ultimately with less challenge sites on offer it will get a whole heap harder to win the prizes, to become a guest designer or have the opportunity to belong to a design team. So please, put in those entries and keep all our challenges alive.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Farewell and h</span><span style="font-family: inherit;">appy crafting from all of us ...</span><br />

<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="background-color: white; color: #303030; font-family: "consolas"; font-size: 14px;">Welcome to our last edition of Team Training brought to you by team member, <b>Karen Brierley.</b></span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><i><br /></i></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><i>I am the first to admit I am a messy
scrapper. I love to spread out and use
up every available bit of space on the dining room table. My family has
sometimes gone for days without using that particular surface for its intended
purpose... <o:p></o:p></i></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><i>So I thought I'd share my process for
tidying up my mess, and what I do with my scraps. First, anything
around 4"x8" or bigger is stored away by brand. Most of my papers are
sorted by brand name.<o:p></o:p></i></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><i>Then, I sort my other offcuts and scraps
roughly by colour group. Iām not too fussy with this but it makes scrapping by
colour much easier. I store them in ziplock bags. Those people who are familiar with my layouts
may have have noticed that I scrap a lot of monochromatic layouts, or layouts
with just one or two colours, often on white background.<o:p></o:p></i></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><i>When I start a new project I almost
always start with the scraps on my desk!
If I use them up first, I don't need to tidy them away... <o:p></o:p></i></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><i>For this tutorial, I followed exactly
that process.<o:p></o:p></i></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: center;">

My name is Joanna Ford and I live in The sunny state of Queensland
Australia. I first found Scrapbooking on a trip to the US about 15 years ago,
and I have been hooked since then. I like scraping in many different styles but
my fav would be clean and simple with the photo being the focus of my page. I
work as a chef in aged care home and I am also a Cub Scout Leader with the local
sea scout pack, So all of this gives me lots of photos to scrapbook. I can't
wait to see the pages that you came up with for the last challenge from Pixels
and Paper. Don't forget to stop by my blog to see some of the close ups of my
page.......</div>

<i><span style="font-family: inherit;">I loved the softness and feeling of the inspiration photo - a love for a mother
or motherly love; highlighted by the flowers and the touches of pink and yellow.
And then I just went a bit mad on the 'shabby chic' theme with lace, papers,
swirls and curls, stitching, and bling!!! I used a photo I don't think I've
scrapped before with me in my little baby high chair but switched out the roses
for one of mum's (and my) favourite flowers - the camellia, also a couple of
birds for our shared love of bird watching. When it gets closer to Mother's Day
I will create a card based on this page and give it to Mum.</span></i></div>

<span style="font-family: inherit;">Hi. I've been digi scrapbooking for a few years now, been around the online
comp' traps and love it cause I now have total control over everything that goes
on my pages. If I can imagine it, now I can create it. Plus it enables me to
keep a record of what I'm doing, what I'm passionate about at this point in
time, and share my love of digi and scrapbooking, as I usually make my pages
look as much like a handmade page as possible, rather than go down the
Photoshoped page look, which means alot of drop shadows and lots and lots of
layers. I use Adobe Fireworks (formerly Macromedia Fireworks) to create my pages
cause the file sizes are smaller and program works smoother than Photoshop, but
that's just my personal preference. I do have formal training in digi programs
from years ago that I still draw on today.</span><br />

This month we thought we might have a change of pace and try our hands at creating our layouts in a vintage or shabby chic style. Our image is a nod to a Mother's love since we do celebrate Mother's Day here in Australia during May but really this month it is all about the style rather than the photograph. That doesn't mean you can't be inspired by our lovely picture - you can certainly use the colours, or the theme or the use of flowers / lace / ribbon for your entry.</div>

Rebecca and today I have a fun tutorial for you. I am also looking for new ways
to make new backgrounds. Then one day I was playing in my craft room and I was
finding that my original idea for a background was too heavy/bold so I decided
to try something new and I love it!!! I used a die-cut, blending tool and ink
to create a very fun background.</i><br />

<span style="font-family: inherit;">My name is Wendy Crowe and I have been scrapbooking for about 15 years now.
I am addicted to the traditional paper scrapping. I love having lots of
āstuffā to play with. I am married to a very patient guy who makes sure I have
plenty of āmeā time. I have 3 wonderful kids, 2 daughters (26 and 15) and a
son (9). With those age differences, I am lucky to have dabbled in just about
every subject that can be scrapbooked. And I get to shopā¦a lot!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">I am happy to
have found challenge blogs like Pixels and Paper that really offer lots of
inspiration. Thanks for letting me be a Guest Designer!</span><br />

<span style="font-family: inherit;">If you don't have any bubble wrap you
probably have some other textured material that you can use to spray the ink
on. I am sure wrinkled up foil is will
work. I always put my paper into some
kind of box before I spray it. This
helps to keep the ink from spraying all over my scrap room.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span lang="EN-US" style="color: #222222;">Hi everyone! My name is Taru! IĀ“m so excited to be
part of the Pixels and Papers Challenge on this month! I live in Rauma, Finland with my sons Sami and
Niko. IĀ“m retired about 12 years now. I love cats. I have four sweet
cats and they feature on my scrapbook pages often. I saw how my
friend made cards in spring 2007. Inspired by her I began make my own cards
with 3D images. But then I found stamps and it was big love right away! Then I
found scrapbooking, mixed media and art journal. I love to take photos ā I was
always take a lot of photo of my life. I love little bit crazy, funny and
silly photos!</span><span lang="EN-US" style="color: #222222;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span lang="EN-US" style="color: #222222;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">On my works I really love bold colors, shapes, layers,
stamps, stencils and dimension. I love to use different mediums, but I also love to make āclean and simpleā! Just like what mood I have when I crafting.

<u>Using alcohol inks and modelling cream by Di Hasthorpe</u></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I'm sure most of you have used alcohol inks at some stage, probably on
acetate, foil or glossy paper. Lately, I've been experimenting on other
surfaces:- altering cardstock, upcycling CDs, 'oops' photos and cake
boards.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Often I have the need to change cardstock because I either have several
pieces of it, or I no longer like it (the 'why did I buy it' syndrome!).</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhQtV0BSUYrvjtO-tWJM79UBfCKEFQw23uRdJXVOICLvby7CVjTiqTM0J7qjfJjU7udq5rrngQiHSMjyUiDl8bXmLAkRql90YkHNzAHeieHmM9wp2Kp8a2kfUQvUirHu_8g7YwYBvkv1RcW/s1600/1+cardstock.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="319" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhQtV0BSUYrvjtO-tWJM79UBfCKEFQw23uRdJXVOICLvby7CVjTiqTM0J7qjfJjU7udq5rrngQiHSMjyUiDl8bXmLAkRql90YkHNzAHeieHmM9wp2Kp8a2kfUQvUirHu_8g7YwYBvkv1RcW/s320/1+cardstock.JPG" width="320" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Alcohol inks don't react well with non-glossy surfaces, so to add them to
cardstock successfully you need to use another product. In this case I've used a
modelling cream applied through a stencil.</div>
<div>
<strong></strong><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<strong><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi_2Ee5gxjoqTFC-WWWFkb5UXtPo9-wU9J_KWZHu9_rk9J66qY5W0W9hQwlk1lb2NZwlju6EhRiPlXtLADoh9Vr6jtTuYk_gFidlmSVIrUt7Cyz176S5QK-Einfw3dBdA-MjvDuwWigzoUX/s1600/2+stencilled+paper.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi_2Ee5gxjoqTFC-WWWFkb5UXtPo9-wU9J_KWZHu9_rk9J66qY5W0W9hQwlk1lb2NZwlju6EhRiPlXtLADoh9Vr6jtTuYk_gFidlmSVIrUt7Cyz176S5QK-Einfw3dBdA-MjvDuwWigzoUX/s320/2+stencilled+paper.jpg" width="320" /></a></strong></div>
<strong>
</strong>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Gesso or texture paste also work but will give a different look. </div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Once the modelling cream dries, alcohol inks can be smooshed over the
stencilled surface. It gives a jewel-like effect. I also lightly sprayed over
the whole piece of cardstock with ink sprays. I used Lindy Stampgang Sprays for
this.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Don't throw away those 'oops' photos. Being glossy makes them perfect to
use for the alcohol ink treatment.</div>

The photos can also be stencilled with modelling cream as a first step
before adding alcohol inks. As this is a glossy surface, the inks will colour up
the whole photo.</div>

Once diecut, the embellishments can also be put through an embossing folder

Glitz) to highlight raised sections of the baubles. </div>

These look effective just as is ...</div>

<strong> </strong>but the addition
of alcohol inks give that extra interest.</div>

This photo shows the not - quite completed CD. Again these could be used for
cards or layouts, but I'm planning to use mine for mobiles..... a work in
progress!</div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The last items I've experimented with recently are cakeboards. As these are
covered with a metallic card, they are also perfect for accepting alcohol inks.
This one, turned into a motivational wall plaque, has had the ink and some of
the thinner dropped onto the surface and allowed to pool and dry as it fell. </div>

<span style="line-height: 18.48px;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">There is lots to inspire you from our photograph. You might like the colours - such a pretty pastel mix. Or perhaps you like the little sayings - so many to choose from (First kiss, Marry me, Sweet talk, Only you .....). You might like the use of crayons or coloured pencil. Perhaps you want to carry forward that theme of confectionery and then again you might just like hearts :)</span></span></div>

This double-page spread is another addition to the mini-album recording my trip to Rockhampton in 2016. I used some paper-punched hearts and also doodled lots of hearts around my journalling.</i></span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: inherit;"><i>Apart from the hearts theme, I have taken pastel colours from some of the
conversation lollies to make a gift card/container. This has been made from
vellum which I have dry embossed with an embossing tool and decorated with lace
(heart design) and liquid pearls. The heart is in three sections, each section
open at the top to form a pouch. The largest heart has one folded the side and
could be left open on the cut side to form a card if desired. For this
particular one, I have taped the cut edge. The card I have also made has diecut
butterflies, again in a heart shape.</i></span></div>
