Suprise Challenge!!!!!


Who would like to take place in a little suprise challenge? Nothing too hard, and I will send a RAK to the winner :)

By Tuesday April 17th at 11pm, for the chance to win a RAK, you will need to do this.....

Scrapjack Ericas "Heart and Soul" layout directly. Everything, must be placed in exactly the same place that Erica has hers. Colours and title can be different, and you can use different embellishments, but I want to see a direct scrapjack.

Think its an easy one??? I find it more of a challenge to follow something to the letter, hopefully you all find it a bit of a challenge too :)

Cant wait to see what you all do :) Remember Tuesday at 11pm is the cut off. Email your entry to aussiescrapjacked@hotmail.com . Dont forget to leave us a link in a comment on this post so we can all see it :) I will announce the winner Wednesday morning.

Have FUN with it :)

Dont forget to send any questions to aussiescrapjacked@hotmail.com or leave a comment :)


ERICA GLOVER YOU HAVE BEEN SCRAPJACKED!!!!!

Yes Ladies and Gentleman, Erica Glover is our first Aussie Scrapjacked :) Below you will find an example of Ericas gorgeous work. Erica is a Design Team Member at Scrapboxx, and she is also on the Elite Team at For Kepps Creative Scrapbooking. You can scrapjack this LO, or go and scan the Scrapboxx gallery for one that you love and want to lift. Or you can go to Ericas blog for a creation there. Thats all there is to it.
Here is a little about Erica.

* I live in Cabarita Beach NSW, with six kidlets aged 12 down to nine months - all cuter and sweeter and smarter and tougher and cooler than anyone elses blah blah blah!!!


*I have been scrapping for 8 years & I usually scrap once or twice a week but manage to do two or three layouts per session. I love it with a passion and always will but it's the photos and the storys that mean the most to me - hope to be recording parts of my life and my kiddies till the day i die.


* Love love love the whole 'scrapjacked' idea. Love the idea of taking someone elses inspiration and using it as your own - whether its a colour scheme, page design or a teeny tiny corner of a busy page that takes your fancy. I love looking at blogs/mags/galleries for inspiration and allowing the beauty of others' work to 'put me in the mood'!! lol


*The one word i would use to describe my layouts is 'mine'! I scrap what I like,when I like and although I strive to create a layout that is visually pleasing and meaningful I no longer beat myself up over every page - it's a hobby first and foremost and it is important to enjoy the journey.


Thanks for that Erica :)

This month, the lovely Maria at Scrapboxx has climbed aboard the Aussie Scrapjacked train and is sponsoring us. There is a wonderful Clear stamp for the winner, designed by Erica herself and exclusive to Scrapboxx . This is the very last stamp in existance, so you will be winning a piece of history. I am lucky enough to have this stamp and it is wonderful :)


Erica has also offered to scrap a photo for the winner! How cool is that, you will have an Erica Glover original.

So get jacking, dont forget to leave us a link where we can find your LO in your comment. And also a link to the LO you have jacked if you decide to do a different one to this gorgeous creation :)

Please also email a copy to us here at aussiescrapjacked@hotmail.com just so we have a copy too :)
