Ozmas - Christmas in Australia

Christmas in Australia is usually warm, with no snow in sight. We often celebrate with prawns on the BBQ and of course the traditional turkey and hams with all the trimmings. Often we go to the beach or the bush. So with Christmas scrap kits usually portraying cold snowy conditions, with icles, snowmen and cutesy penguins I thought I'd do Ozmas, a kit for those of us who live in the warmer climates…Australia. You will find an assortment of Australian animals and icons that I think are unique to Chrstimas Downunder. This kit comprises of 26 background papers and 74 elements…over 157Mb of goodies to scrap all your Christmas layouts. All elements and papers are 300dpi perfect for printing. Available on special until Christmas Day at Nuts4Digi and Digital Design Den

August Challenges are up n running at Nuts4Digi

Up for a challenge then why not pop on over to Nuts4Digi and see whats on offer this month. I'm hosting the variety challenge and boy have I got a good one for you this month....You are in for a treat this month and rest assured that you will get nothing but variety with my challenges. For this month I’d like you to find something in your neighbourhood that is historical and scrap it. I hear you say huh that’s easy well as usual there’s a twist. I want you to find a picture and scrap it but you must scrap it in the manner appropriate to the era of the history. IE if you pick something from the 60’s then your page must be retro or hippie, 50’s would be say rock n roll, 30’s would be art deco…or you could do it to relate to the history eg if you pick something that is military history then you could do your page with a military theme….you get the general idea  … I’d also like a bit of journaling so that we know what your historical item is all about. I’d love to see old and new pics if available.

I chose the rocks that make up our retaining walls for the historical aspect. They were from the original stonework from the local pub just up the corner from us. As they original pub was built in 1853 I did my layout with a vintage theme.

And here is my layout If the walls could talk as an idea/example to get you all going.

You'll get a fantastic posting bonus as well, while your at it why not join in the all the challenges and get the matching bonus's from those and you'll end up with a lovely little mini kit for all your hard work

My first challenge

Wahooo I'm hosting my first challenge at Nuts4Digi I'll be looking after the Variety Challenges and you can bet on getting lots of variety over the next few months. Those that know me from where ever, will know that my challenges can be exactly that, a real challenge. July's challenge is a mix n match kind...you're scratching your heads wondering what on earth this is all about. Here's how the challenge works. You use your date of birth and age to find the elements for your page. My date of birth is 23/03/1961, and I'm 48. Add each set of numerals until you have a single digit. 

This is what mine is:

Month (0+3) = 3

Day (2+3) = 5

Year (1+9+6+1)=17 (1+7) = 8

Age (4+9) = 13 (1+3) = 4

There are four categories: (my items are in bold)

Month = Subject/Inspiration Ad Jingle

Day = Title 1 alpha & 1 Font

Year = Element Bling

Age = Paper Dots

Then use the following chart to find your "mix". 

And here is what I quickly knocked up to show everyone :)

Why not pop on over and have a look at the wonderful pages being created and have a go while your there.

New Release - Yelena Yule

With the winter solstice approaching in the Southern Hemisphere Yelena Yule is reminiscent of the ancient festival of Yuletide, heralding the rising of the new sun in the agricultural year, when the yule tree was cut down and brought into the home to be decorated for the celebrations. With its rich colors and the charm of its olde world elements its perfect for all your Christmas and Winter layouts.
