This layout was created for the Little Scrapbook Shop Design Team Challenge. Cath challenged us to attach flowers in a different way to normal.I used a lot of small primas and attached them originally using a little bit of dimensional magic, but then sewed over them with the sewing machine.A couple of close ups for detail.Products used:*bazzill - pink and green*small primas*prima hydrangeas*FTI

This is a layout for the monthly competition over at Scrapbooking Top50 Australia. The theme this month was nature. No photos of people allowed. And although this photo doesn't have any people in it, the journalling is about my Oma, who has pretty much lost her ability to remember and to communicate. This photo was one among many that the story behind is most likely lost forever. I hope that

Well it was my turn to do the step-by-step for Little Scrapbook Shop, and having seen some very cute chipboard tiles done around the place I asked Cath if she was able to get them in.And she was. I did a non-swap swap with the other Design Team members and... wowAnd now I'm hosting a chipboard tile swap. Why don't you come on over and join in.Again a big thank you to the other Design Team

I just loved this photo of Elisha cuddling up with his teddy bear Cookie. But it was not a well taken picture. A bit of fiddling around with it in GIMP made it passable.Had a lot of fun with this layout for Little Scrapbook Shop.Little Scrapbook Shop Products Used* Urban Lily 12x12 Paper - Baby Lily, Denim* Junkitz Buttons - Friends* American Crafts Buttons - Round, Brown* American Crafts

I dared!This week's challenge over at Daring Card Makers - We'd like you to somehow incorporate text into your cards this week - not just one word - but a portion of TEXT...Quite happy with the resulting card from this challenge. And everything I have used is old, very old stash. So doubly pleased with myself.

Did something by accident, but think it is quite effective. I didn't want the brads to be nice and shiny seeing as everything else has been distressed. So I filed them a bit. Then when I put a bit of paint on them. And then accidently added a bit of Tim Holtz distress ink...... then being the impatient person that I am I tried to add the rub ons before everything was completely dry.They wouldn't

This was for a bit of a challenge at Scrapbooking Top 50 Australia. Sharnook challenged us to scraplift a layout from a recent magazine. I lifted a layout from For Keeps... d'oh, I've lost the information about what I scrap lifted. If I find it I'll fix this up. Apologies.

Did a layout just to please myself, but it just so happened to also fit the Scrapbooking Top 50 monthly layout challenge of Bling! again.Had a bit of an accident while creating this layout. I dropped the butterfly onto the page where I did not want it, but couldn't get it off, so there it is, and I had to work around it.Don't think I was completely successful at getting the page balanced, but

A design team layout for The Little Scrapbook Shop. These photos were taken about three weeks before Cayley was born. Getting all the baby clothes washed was the last thing I had to do before I really felt ready for her arrival. Got the idea of taking photos of the washing on the line from my own baby album. Thanks Mum.Products Used:Sweet Little One at Little Scrapbook Shop* MME 12x12 Paper -

Created on a whim for the challenge at Daring Card Makers, I just love how this has turned out.As you can see I've also used this card for the banner of the blog. Know it's fairly simple, but I'm relatively new to the world of digi image manipulation, though excited about learning more.A close up of the layered flower.A close up of the ghost letters.Products Used * MM 12x12 Paper - Cheeky Emery,

I decided it was high time that I created a separate blog for my creative stuff only, just in case some people would rather not read all the trivialities of my day to day life.These posts will also contain more information about products and techniques used.So, without further ado, here it is: Tara Creates.Hope you enjoy.Will not be posting older stuff, just taking it from here.
