Here is my ATC sample for July:

Paper- Halfway Cafe by Cosmo Cricket

Stamps: Just Rite Stampers pre-inked Stamps

Ink: Black, Archival

Other: Distressed Crackle Paint by Ranger (Tim Holtz),

Cuttlebug Embossing Folder, Distressed Embossing by Ranger (Tim Holtz- Faux Stitching)

Ranger products are my favorite to use while creating ATC's, they are easy to work with and add such a variety of texture to whatever you are creating! I also used 2 of my favy techniques- ripping & dry embossing.

Happy Scrappin'!

Sandra's ATC for July

2009-07-01T17:24:00.002-04:00

Here's my ATC for July. I've used Twinkling H2Os for the paint on the background. It has a lovely sparkle to it but can't really see it in the photo.

TFL,

Sarah C's Thank You ATC

2009-07-01T07:41:00.006-04:00

Here's my Thank you ATC.

I started by layering two images from the new Pixie Chicks downloads, before printing them onto photo paper. I covered the base of my ATC with lilac squared paper and tore corners from another sheet of PP. Buttons were sewn onto these before glueing them down. I used my vintage acrylic paint dabber to distress the papers, then I added my pixie and distressed her too. The sentiment (distressed too) is also from the Pixie Chicks and I've used foam pads to lift it.

Check out the criteria for July's ATC and LO challenges here.

Amanda's July Layout

2009-07-01T03:43:00.003-04:00

Here's my Layout for July :) I chose pink as my colour, which was fun as I don't usually use much pink!

I'm looking forward to seeing everyone's creations this month!

Byclops' July Page

2009-07-01T02:31:00.003-04:00

Hey everyone! Just a reminder that the criteria for the July layouts are as follows:

* to use 4 or more buttons
* monochromatic theme (1 colour and black and white)
* journalliing has to be at least 20 words

Here is my take on the challenge...

You should be able to click on the photo for a larger version. It's a photo of me on my wedding day, and in the same spot 5 & 1/2 years later. I've used Kaiser (Dash Away Vixen, left over from Christmas!) as the backing, and a random piece of K & Company I had in my stash. I've used one main piece, and then out of the scraps cut with the pattern and inked up the pieces and layered them with foam. The alphas are white foam Thickers that i've inked up a little, and I used some green tara string through the buttons.

Cant wait to see what everyone comes up with :)

Tamara's ATC

2009-06-30T20:33:00.002-04:00

Melody's Layout

2009-06-30T19:29:00.003-04:00

hiya everyone heres my layout for july.

i used purple as my main colour and added some buttons, kindy glitz,chipboard which i inked. ribbon was also used.
i added a journalling tag which i wrote 20 words on.

Ceci's July layout

2009-06-30T18:50:00.002-04:00

Here is my take on this months challenge.....I chose pink for my monochromatic page, as I it goes so well with black and white. The other criteria are 4 or more buttons and 20 words or more journalling.

Have fun trying this challenge and you could win a $10 voucher from Scrap Therapy! :o)

My Take On The JULY Challenge

2009-06-30T18:11:00.002-04:00

This is my first challenge as a Design Team member for Scrap Around The Clock and I LOVED it..... I got out some paint, layered some paper and here is what I came up with:

The black dots up the side of my journalling are buttons, and the journalling reads: I really want to get my lip pierced, so to try it out I bought this fake one, I'm still unsure whether to get it pierced!
Scrap Around The Clock has recently set up a forum over on ning, head over there to see what we're up to - with competitions and challenges!!
I can't wait to see what everyone comes up with, see you next month.

June Challenges at Scrap Around The Clock - Michelle W

2009-06-02T02:21:00.002-04:00

Another month another great challenge.

I had heaps of fun playing around with this one. Pulled out some of my trusty faithful clear stamps and water colour pencils. Just gotta love creating your own patterned paper. Don't you just love hand cutting too.. well I do...bit of a nut that way... hand cut the flowers from a matching patterned paper and cover some chipboard to create the title for this LO. Such a fun layout too being able to create something in a different shape.

Here's what I created for this challenge :
"You" Layout -

"You" Layout Close up -

Why not head over to the forum and give this months challenge a go !

Amanda's ATC

2009-06-01T12:41:00.005-04:00

Hi everyone! I was nervous at first doing an ATC as I've never tried one before, but once I got going it was great fun!

I used an offcut of patterned paper and layered on some borders cut from scraps of cardstock. I stamped some swirls across the background and handwrote the quote. The glittered die-cut transparency is by K&Co in the bottom left corner, and then I topped it off with some stickles and bling. Gotta love the bling!

I can't wait to see all the June submissions - I hope you have as much fun with this challenge as I did.

I'd also like to say a big thank you to Scrap Therapy, our generous sponsor :)

Bye for now :)

ATC by Cas

2009-06-01T07:31:00.003-04:00

Well, there are already a few inspiring creations by the rest of the DT so I can't wait to see your take on these challenges.

Here's my ATC:

I'm not sure whether you can see the stamping as I did it in white on a light blue background :S. It says "Best Buds". For my PP, I used a scrap from the BG Offbeat series and then I added a couple of flowers and some bling... also, I glimmer-misted pretty much everything.

Sandra's Take on the June Challenge

2009-06-01T01:47:00.004-04:00

My task was to make a friendship ATC. I've used a Kaiser stamp which says 'if friends were flowers, i'd pick you'. I've added a flower and some bling for the centre and the stem, as well as some pp for the ground.
