HELP NEEDED!!! Where is the UGLY paper challenge?????

While surfing around in blog world the other day meeting new and inspiring crafters I remember seeing an UGLY PAPER challenge that I NEED to do!!!!  I have some ugly award winning paper that needs to be made into something with love and banished from my house!

I know right! Enough said.

Can you help me find that challenge??? 

SURELY one of my blogging buddies has seen it!

and a quick message from my Xyron holder:

Today is the last day you can apply for this "hot chunk of plastic" to come help you in your scraproom...  

On his map so far, he has covered the United States, a stop over in Hawaii and he is scooting across Australia...

Where are the UK entries??? 

What about the rest of the world???

 What's the matter United Kingdom ladies? 

 Am I too HOT for you?

Look! My ears are in proportion to my head!

Although not a royal trait, 

in some countries is it considered sexy!

Or are all the UK ladies TEAM EDWARD???

Do I really have to pull out the old "Save the Koala" spiel??

Ok then...

If not for me, do it for the cute koala. 
He is an endangered species and needs to see the world! 

C'mon!!!!

There is one more day!

Frosted Designs makes me want to do some Jitterbuggin too!

Settle in. I'm in my usual prattle-on-and-on mode. 

Earth day is coming and Frosted Designs Fabulous Friday Challenge is all about re-using or re-purposing things in the home. I started my project this week but was so glad when this challenge was posted, as it re-motivated me to finish it!

Now my computer is telling me that "re-motivated" is NOT a word, but in the interest of scrappers worldwide... I think we should add it to the scrap lingo dictionary!!!! WHO's WITH ME??? ... too often we just need a little nudge to get through the tough part of a project.  I am officially re-purposing that word! Re-motivate me!

Earlier this week I was re-using the all forgotten CD cases as a new storage solution for my Peachy Keen Stamps... So this Frosted Designs challenge re-motivated me to finish the last few sets as a way of re-using my empty CD cases and my space effectively.

The above picture is also my entry for Jitterbuggin Bloom Where You Are Planted Challenge! This week they have a sketch challenge to add a cricut flower and some purple and pink!

 

 I even added a bit of yellow pollen for their blushy cheeks!

I love seeing what the stamp looks like all chalked up, it's much easier to match to a picture when you are trying to visualise the stamp.  Inside view:

The photo below shows that I HAD magazines above my head... USELESS!!!

I'm not a see-and-copy kind of scrapper... I usually think outside the box that is outside another box!!! So magazines can go.

Not ONLY did I re-motivate myself to re-purpose my CD cases, I re-motivated myself to alter my re-purposed scrap table that I altered. It was from a computer desk from Office Works but I turned it into Scraplerium Scraptopia. (Yes, I made those words up, too). 

I stuck some old CD Holder Thingys in - 

(Please note: that is not the technical term).

And now I have my Peachies right where I can grab them!

PLUS - I also have my i-rock and watercolours underneath too now. Every spare millimetre accounted for. That's what I like! 

Trumpet Intro:

SCRAPTOPIA!!!! 

*such a beautiful sight*

Thanks so much Frosted Designs for the nudge I needed to get it done and also re-purpose my magazine section to a MUCH more user friendly system. 

Thanks also to Jitterbuggin for the cute sketch and a chance to use some pink and purple! Too many boys in my house!

Pack Your Bags Jacob! Getting Cricky and Going Campy

K Andrew is having a PACK YOUR BAGS Simply Sunday challenge over at Getting Cricky! I loved the timing of this challenge, because Jacob is nearly ready to take off on his own Hot Blog Hop and travel around the world!

 So with his Camping Critter back pack on, he packed a suitcase for the trip.

 Inside his new suitcase is his map, and his blog hop journal. 

Here is his map so far:

On his itinerary so far is:

Helping the Cricutjunkie in her scraproom in California 

Eating some poutine with Kate in Canada

Wine tasting in California with Popsicle Toes

Organising embellishments with KSD Creations

Choosing cartridges for Sandra at 365 days of Cricut

 Living in a luxury mansion with Barbie at Michelle's in Perth

Jennifer at Arizona will find him something to do I'm sure!

Kim H in Pennsylvania is going to keep him laughing. 
Date night with a harem of barbies at L.B's place in Illinois!

Then to Hawaii to guard Erin's scraproom from lizards.  
Plus Me n' Miss Pink Cricut has a special surprise for him!

He's started saying goodbye to Action man, Buzz Lightyear and all the toys.

Those clip on koalas just never let go.

 He is doing regular work-outs to keep that ripped 6 pack belly for all his dates with various Barbies along the way.

His suitcase is made from the Heritage cartridge. I used Bo Bunny paper, added some i-rocks and the font is Birthday Cakes. 

If you think you can handle a HOT scrap assistant for a couple of weeks in your scrap room... Check out this link for details.  Jacob is accepting any 'applications' until 31st March!

Thanks K Andrew at Getting Cricky for a great reason to get Jacobs bags ready for his Hot Blog Hop! Join the fun over at Getting Cricky!
