Welcome to 2012 .... Wishing you all a very happy, safe and prosperous New Year!!
Capture the best (or worst) of your holiday memories and share them with us at Ideal.
Our Holiday Challenge runs until the end of
January. The topic is "What the holidays mean to me"
This can cover
Christmas, New Year, Australia Day, or good old family fun and holidays away, so
plenty of opportunities to scrap.
There are two categories;
* Layouts
* Off the page (can include Mini-Albums, Frames, anything that is
not a page layout etc)
There will also be two prizes: one for the
over-all winner as voted by the Design Team and our Members and the other will
be a random draw for someone who has entered both the page and beyond the page
categories. Winners will select a prize from the "Challenge Prize Cupboard" for
this competition. This Prize Cupboard will be set up early in the new year.
You can enter as many times as you like, but please have your entries in
the Gallery by the end of January 31st 2012.
Need some inspiration?
Have a look at some back issues of our Inspiration newsletters - here in the forum.
To start you off, here are some layouts using Creative Imagination's Beach Cottage from Ngaire,
Winter Song from Michele,
and using Kaisercraft's Hunt & Gather from Mary
All three fitting our Holiday theme. So get scrapping!!!
Just a little late with the Christmas wishes...oops, sorry!
BUT, we here at Ideal Papercraft are hoping all of you out there had the BEST Christmas, Santa was good to you all and your celebrations were filled with happiness :)
Time to start scrapping and to post all your gorgeous Christmas layouts in the gallery - we'd love to share your Christmas and Holiday memories!
Hi everyone...sorry, I've been a bit slack lately and missed a week or two here on the blog!! You can blame it on Christmas and the extra running around we all do at this time of year.
First of all, congratulations to all of you who entered and won the games or challenges from our Mini Album cyber crop...the prize cupboard is a bit emptier thanks to our game winners, and store vouchers are winging their way to our lucky Challenge winners.
Secondly......drumroll...
To get your creativity moving Mary has just announced a new "Holiday Challenge" in the forum...starting now and running until the end of
January.
The theme of this challenge is "What the Holidays mean to me"
This can cover
Christmas, New Year, Australia Day, or good old family fun and holidays away, so
there are plenty of opportunities to scrap your memories of this time of year.
Normally, along with lots of Christmas scrapping, we would expect to see some sunny seaside pics, outdoor BBQ's or picnics etc.....but this year maybe we will see some umbrellas, soggy pets and children,....oh dear, what's happening to our summer!!
There are two categories for this challenge
1. Layouts
2. Off the page (can include Mini-Albums, Frames, anything that is
not a page layout etc)
There will be two prizes too! One for the
over-all winner as voted by the Design Team and our Members and the other a random draw from those of you who have entered both the layout and beyond the page
categories.
Winners will select a prize from the "Challenge Prize Cupboard" for
this competition. This Prize Cupboard will be set up in the forum early in the new year.
Remember, you have to be in it to win, and for this challenge you can enter as many times as you like!!
Upload your entries to the Gallery by the end of January 31st 2012.
Good morning
Well, we had a fun time in the Chat Room last night...more chat than cropping done for sure, and lots of laughs!! Thanks for joining us ladies!
Never mind if you couldn't make the chat though, you are still more than welcome to join in for the Challenges. You can do all three, or take your pick and do just one, but we'd love you to play along :)
Angela won the Word Scramble last night (Yay!!!), but there is still plenty of opportunity to score a prize, with two more games due in the December CC forum this week :) Pop over and have a look.
Hope to see you there!

A note from Elf:
 Thank you all for your wonderful participation in this
competition. I have really enjoyed looking at the beautiful entries in the
Gallery each week.
I have just completed tallying up the votes. Thank you
all for submitting the votes and helping me select the winner - it would have
been much too difficult for this little Elf to do without all your wonderful
help.
With all the gorgeous entries and tireless participation I think
you are all winners in this competition; however the prizes will go to the two
participants with the most votes.
Maggie is our winner on a whopping 95
points. Well done Maggie.
Please select either the Kaisercraft Silly Season
pack or the Darkroom Door stamps.
Angela took
out second place with a very impressive 90 points.
Thank you again to
everyone who participated and voted in this challenge.
I wish you all a most
wonderful, safe and joyous Christmas.
Elf
Thank you Elf, and congratulations Maggie and Angela...beautiful cards, tags and ATC's.
Keep checking this page for details of our December Mini-Album Cybercrop - coming up at the end of next week!
