Challenges Galore! Some Frosty Peachy Imaginisce fun!

Happy Best Friends day!!!!! Me and my bestie have celebrated this awesome day by organising a new exciting group!  Long post!
We both have busy lives and love to find solutions to make life easier. We love our blog world, and challenges keep our scrapping on a roll and add so much to our albums, but finding fun challenges can be a daunting task sometimes. 

Carlene goes to a lot of scrapathons and loves to take a list of challenges, so together we created a facebook group so we can keep a simple updated list there - she can check her phone when out and about and I can see all my favourite challenges there! Problem solved!

The layout above is the logo I made for the group. 


I am entering it in Frosted Designs Best Friends challenge. (My second entry! - is that even allowed? - I couldn't find anything that said I couldn't.)
 I loved creating little paper dolls that matched our own taste in clothes, hair-dos, shoes and bling.  She has been in my life 11 years. I know her well, even as a paper doll. Lol.



Peachy Keen Challenge Blog has a 'Designers Choice' Lets Face it Friday. I LOVED that these Dolly Dumpling stamps were designed so they looked left and right. We are looking at each other in the layout. 
 That represents us as friends so well, we never look behind, we never look in front, because neither of us follows or leads. We stand equal beside each other and we have always admired each other. AWWWWWWWwwww lol. True though.


Then Imaginisce has a Summer Time challenge with a gorgeously yummy image from Pinterest as inspiration. The words from Cliff Richards Summer holiday I have used are Fun and Laughter, You and me.

 I went with the swiss dots look. (I actually just used the dots on the Imaginisce Enchanted paper range as a guide) Cheat!
 One of the new glitter range of i-gems are the perfect selection of colour for this challenge!
I even layered various Imaginisce papers to match the rainbow effect. 


But here's the true best friends in this story. My I-rock never goes ANYWHERE without my new Gem Tray. Such a simple tool but BRILLIANT! It's my i-rock's soul mate!


 I added a few extra flowers from the Enchanted range and lots of i-rocks here and there. Done!

Now, hard work is made easier with many hands! If you love challenges such as Whimsical Wednesday, Flaunt it Friday, BBTB2, PaperCutz, Peachy Keen, Imaginsice, Getting Cricky, Frosted Designs, Haunted Design house, DYSU, Bo Bunny, Jitterbuggin, Little Yellow Bicycle, Cheap Chirpin Tuesday, ScrapJacked, etc, then come and join our group. You may as well benefit too!


It will be a simple updated list with a standard format, without too many other distractions. And all expired  challenges will be deleted.  It is a closed group, so we are only accepting passionate scrapbookers, cardmakers and papercrafters who love a good challenge and lots of fun!

Thanks for a great challenge to Frosted Designs, Imaginisce and Peachy Keen!
