Stuck?!

February 15th Sketch

2012-02-15T09:32:00.000+10:00

Good morning.

It's wonderful to see so many people taking part in the February 1st sketch already. I hope to see many more before the end of the month and plenty of entries for the sketch below as well.

The February 15th sketch marks the final reveal for some of our Creative Team members as their terms come to an end. Whether they have been on the team for 6 months or for years, it's always hard to farewell someone from the team. From today's reveal, we are saying goodbye to Charmane, Felicity, Raquel and Tara. I wish these girls all the very best for their future scrappy adventures.

Now onto the sketch and reveal.

February 1st Sketch

2012-02-01T11:16:00.000+10:00

Good morning!

Thank you to everyone who took the time to apply for the Creative Team call. All applicants have been contacted. Please make sure you are checking your inboxes and junk mail folders for your email.

Today, we have another new sketch and new guest CT member. This month's guest used to be a CT member in 2010 and I am still in love with her style so much. It's Lauren Bell.

My name is Lauren and I live on a cattle property in Queensland with my husband, Luke and our 3 kids, Lachlan, Michala and Darcie.

I have been scrapping for just over 7 years now. I am currently on the Design Team at the Little Scrapbook Shop and have been fortunate enough to have been on CT's in the past such as Kraft It Up, Scrap The Girls and here at Stuck?! Sketches. I was also named a 2010 Scrapbooking Memories Master.

I'm really excited to be Guest Designing this month. I am a huge fan of Sara's sketches and the Stuck?! Blog.

Thanks for having me!

January 1st Sketch

2012-01-01T19:05:00.000+10:00

Good evening!

Sorry for the delay in posting. I forgot to schedule this post to go live earlier and we have been out all day.

Our Guest Designer for the month of January is a recently moved local girl (but I am sure lot's you know her from around the net), Kellie Daley.

Hi, my name is Kellie Daley.

I currently live in sunny Brisbane and have 4.5 yr old twin boys Harry and Sam.

I started scrapbooking back in 2002, but became more 'obsessed' after the birth of my boys.

I usually love to scrap with brighter papers and love to use layering, ink, chipboard and handmade embellies on my pages!

I source inspiration from online blogs and galleries, and from the photos themselves.

I am currently on the Design team at Scrapbooking from Scratch.

You can find my blog at www.cheekytwins.blogspot.com

Today's sketch is designed by the talented Felicity Wilson and the Creative Team girls have all given it their unique approach.

Good afternoon!

We are on the downhill count to Christmas now. I hope that you manage to find to time to create during the busy season coming up.

Our Guest Designer this month is the talented Ebony Van Der Starre.

Hi my name is Ebony van der Starre and I have been a huge fan of Stuck sketches for a long time so I am excited to be here as a guest designer!

I live in Warrnambool Vic with my hubby and two kids. I have been addicted to scrapping now for over 9 years...wow!..sounds like forever when you write it down!!!

I love everything about this craft and I have been extremely blessed to have been given some amazing opportunities over this time.

I guess i would describe my style as eclectic and grungy. I LOVE bright colors...in fact that's all I use, and paint and mists are a regular feature on my layouts!

November 1st Sketch

2011-11-01T08:37:00.001+10:00

Good morning!

I hope those who celebrated Halloween had a great time yesterday. I am sure there will be plenty of photos of the event for you to scrap.

Today we introduce a new Guest Creative Team member for the month of November, the talented Gina Rodgers.

Hi my name is Gina Rodgers and I live in the Huon Valley in Tasmania with my partner Mark and our

two girls; Rhiannon (15) and Jemma (12).

I've been scrapping for 4 years and love the inspiration, challenges, satisfaction and friendships it offers. I find it hard to define my style, but I guess it's kind of arty, messy with a few clusters and some white space thrown in..

When I'm not scrapping I love to make cards, mess around in art journals as well as tennis, gardening, cooking and beach combing.

And finally, when you are shopping, do make sure you pop some Pink Ribbon Day merchandise in your cart along with a few raffle tickets. Every single dollar goes directly to the Cancer Council's Pink Ribbon Day fundraising efforts in support of breast cancer research.

Good morning!

Is anyone else crazy busy at the moment? I feel like I put my head on the pillow at night and not even 5 minutes pass before it's morning and the craziness starts again.

Thank you to those people who have taken the time to enter our monthly challenge so far. I hope that more of you get a chance to before the end of month. And with CT inspiration like this, I hope that those ideas start running and your layouts come together quickly.

October 1st Sketch

2011-10-01T08:53:00.002+10:00

Good morning!

It's the first of October, who can believe the year is going so fast. We are on the downhill to Christmas and I am thinking it's nearly time to start getting organised.

This month we are introducing a new feature, a guest Creative Team Member. They will providing inspiration along with our CT on the 1st and 15th of each month. October's Guest CT member is Belinda Spencer.

My name is Belinda Spencer and I have been scrapping since 2003. I live on a farm in the Adelaide Hills with my husband Brenton, my two children; Hayley, 6 and William 5, our dog Merlin and cat Noodle as well as lots of cows, deer and chooks (not to mention the native fauna).

My main focus for scrapbooking has always been 12” x 12” layouts but more recently I have become addicted to cardmaking and artist trading cards.

My style tends to include elements of shabby chic, vintage, fussy cutting and a touch of grunge. I love to include texture, dimension and different techniques. My inspiration comes from my children, blog surfing, magazines, product and other scrappers that I admire.

I have been published in Scrapbook Creations and Scrapbooking Memories magazines. I currently teach at Charlotte’s Web in Adelaide, am a Design Team member at The Color Room, Purple Pumpkin and White With 1 and participate in as many blog challenges as I can fit in each month.

I am so thrilled to be Guest DT at Stuck?! Sketches and hope that you enjoy seeing my creations.

You can see more of my work on my blog http://happyscrapspace.blogspot.com/

And Belinda's layout from our Oct 1st sketch:

Our regular CT members have also done a fantastic job. The sketch was designed by CT member, Felicity Wilson.

Hello and Blog Hop Winner

2011-08-30T12:26:00.000+10:00

Today is the final introduction to our new team members.

Tess Pretty might be last on the list but she is by no means the least.

A little about Tess:

Hi, my name is Tess and I live on the beautiful South Coast of NSW. I live with my gorgeous fiancé Austin and our Border Collie Echo. I work full time as an Administration Manager for a trucking company.

I have been seriously scrapbooking now for 4 years and find it is a wonderful way to relax at the end of the working day. My subjects are the people in my life. My nieces and nephews, my friends and their children, my gorgeous border collie Echo and my fiancé Austin, along with the places we visit and the things we do.

I love that scrapbooking is as creative as you want it to be and is forever changing, as is my style. It gives me a chance to capture my life in photos then tell my story. And my camera is never far from reach.

I have recently had layouts picked up by Scrapbooking Memories magazine and guest designed for Scrapbook Savvy twice. This is my first Creative Team position and I am more than thrilled to be working with so many talented ladies.

http://tessatmybest.blogspot.com/

And her layout from our application sketch:

I also promised that I would share the winner of our Blog Hop in today's post. Unforunately there were a couple of hoppers who either forgot to email me the words at the end or comment on some of the blogs. The winner, as randomly drawn, is:

True Random Number Generator

Min: 1
Max: 17
Result: 5

which is Lizzy Hill. Congratulations on winning the gorgeous sold out August We're Savvy kit from Scrapbook Savvy. I will contact you today to arrange postage.

Don't forget you only have until midnight tomorrow night to get your layouts in for any of this month's 4 sketches. I am astounded at the amount of entries so far but would always love to see more.

Please make welcome

2011-08-29T19:51:00.001+10:00

We are nearing the end of the introductions to the new team. Their first sketch samples will be doing up on the 1st / 5th September and I can't wait for you all to see what they have created.

Before then, let's introduce Raquel Pert.

A little bit about Raquel:

Hi, my name is Raquel, I'm 27, a primary school teacher and I live in Melbourne. I have a gorgeous fiancé and we are getting married in December, so no kiddies just yet! We have shared an amazing last few years where we were lucky enough to live in London. Wow! What an incredible experience we had, so many memories I am still left to scrap!

I LOVE to scrap, and my favourite parts about scrapping are not only the gorgeous products but also the fantastic online community that I have found since I started scrapping. I have not been on any DT's as such, though I work at my LSS teaching and also on their website, so that has helped me keep up to date in the scrapping world. I have been published in numerous publications and those details can be found at my blog, http://raquelp.blogspot.com/p/published-pages.html

My favourite things to scrap are the things that mean the most to me – those special people in my life who I adore! My boy, my friends and my family feature the most on my pages. I don’t quite have a word to define my style, however, I love coordinating different brands and mixing and creating my own colour combinations - and layering and clustering seems to feature on pretty much all of my pages.

http://raquelp.blogspot.com/

And her take on our CT application sketch:

Come back tomorrow for our final introduction.

Fresh Face

2011-08-28T17:09:00.000+10:00

Sorry we were away for a few days between introductions, a funny little thing called life got in the way.

Today we are introducing new CT member, Helen Kinsela.

And a few things Helen had to say about herself:

Hi, I'm Helen (aka "countryscrapper" in some circles) and I collect paper and pretty things! Sometimes, all the lovely papers and pretties make their way onto scrapbook pages so I guess you could call me a scrapper LOL. I think I've always dabbled in papercrafts of some kind or another, but I caught the scrapping bug 7 years ago whilst pregnant with my first child and I haven't looked back (although I'm sure my long-suffering husband wishes otherwise).

The subjects of my pages are most often my 2 children, Caitlin (7) and Ciaran (5) and the aforementioned hubby, Marty. This playing with paper hobby has also led to a keen interest in photography, a natural progression of course, and so I find myself guilty of taking photos for the purposes of scrapping those memories rather than just for memory's sake. Surely I'm not the lone ranger here ...?

We live and work on our family farm in Central West NSW which encompasses a large cropping and grazing enterprise, so farm and business life for us is never dull or boring. It can be extremely challenging and stressful at times, but it is a lifestyle that we love and appreciate and wouldn't swap for quids.

For some crazy reason I decided last year that being a stay-at-home-mum, housewife and farmers wife (read: farm office work, farm "go-fer", personal secretary etc) wasn't enough so I took the plunge and Red Earth Scrapping was born. This little baby of mine is an online papercrafting business incorporating a shop, forum & gallery, and I also hold workshops with some local ladies at home. It allows me to combine my passion with a home based business and so far, despite being relatively small, it's all good. I extend a warm invitation to you all to pop in and say hi at Red Earth Scrapping and browse the shop where I'm sure you'll find a heap of great products at great prices.

Red Earth Scrapping has been a regular sponsor of Stuck?! Sketches and now that I have been honoured with the chance to join the Stuck Creative Team I am even more proud to be involved with two fabulous scrapping sites. I look forward to the sketches each month and hope I can bring you all a little inspiration with my work.

http://countryscrapper.blogspot.com/

And finally, Helen's take on the CT application sketch:

Back tomorrow with another introduction.

Someone Familiar

2011-08-23T15:51:00.000+10:00

If you have been following the Stuck?! blog for a while, you would know that today's new CT member is actually a returning member. Charmane Koch had been on the team for over 2 years before deciding to take the last term off. I am glad to say that she is back now and I am looking forward to seeing layouts from her again.

A little bit about Charmane:

My name is Charmane Koch, and I have been scrapbooking since May 2004, a couple of months after my son Chei was born. Since then, I haven't stopped! There's not a day that goes by that I don't do something related to scrapbooking {or think about it!}

After living in Melbourne for the past 15 years or so, I have recently moved to South Australia, with my partner and 3 children, Chei {7}, Harmony {5} and Ryarne {almost 2} to be closer to my family and give the kids a new way of living. My partner Ashan, got into Photography around the same time as my scrapping, so we both have similarly related passions!

In the years that I have been scrapping, I have been on numerous Design and Creative Teams, published numerous times in Aussie mags such as Scrapbooking Memories, Scrapbook Creations & For Keeps {when it was around!}. I have also taught online classes from 2006, which has been rewarding and challenging too!

I am so stoked to be back on the Stuck?! Team, I find that when I truly am "stuck" Sara's sketches always help me get started. My style changes from time to time, but at the moment I am loving paint, stitching, distressing - I also love handmade items - they are definitely a must on my pages!

I look forward to inspiring others along with the fab team at Stuck?! Sketches :)

http://ourbrightstarsandus.typepad.com/charmscreations/

And her application sketch layout:

Another introduction tomorrow.

Welcome

2011-08-22T17:19:00.000+10:00

We have another new Creative Team member to welcome today, Chantelle Huizenga.

And a little bit about her:

I'm a SAHM to four amazing boys who keep me very busy and motivated. You will often find them gracing my scrapbook LO's. And I'm married to a wonderful man who is very tolerant of my craft additions!! I've been crafting for over ten years, mostly scrapbooking but have enjoyed stamping and cards too! I love where scrapbooking is at the moment and enjoy keeping up with the latest products and trends. I see scrapbooking as an art - I love colour and design and really enjoy challenges that allow you to explore and step outside the square.

I'm thrilled to be joining the Stuck Sketches Creative Team and look forward to sharing my work with you soon.

http://chan3boys.blogspot.com/

And Chantelle's fabulous take on the application sketch.

We are also sending our thoughts to CT member Crystal as she is going through a tough time at the moment and taking a break from Stuck?!. We wish her all the best and encourage her to stay strong.

Another intro tomorrow.

Introducing...

2011-08-21T09:21:00.000+10:00

Over the next few days I am going to be posting a little more detail about our new CT members.

Our first new member, is Celeste Vermeend.

A little bit about her:

I have been scrapbooking for almost 8 years. I first scrapbooked my baby twins premature birth and their stay in hospital. It was a stressful and emotional time and I felt I needed to document it more creatively and that led me to my local scrapbook store. The rest is history! I am now a mother to five. Having had two more little ones after my twins and oldest daughter. I live a busy and chaotic life that I wouldn’t have any other way – most of the time! My love of scrapbooking eventually led to photography. And I now run a small business from home and I love it. Up until my last two children were born I had been regularly published in all three Australian scrapbooking magazines. I have held a DT position on the now defunct For Keeps magazine. I was also a Scrapbooking Memories Master in 2008. I no longer submit my layouts for publishing preferring instead to enter online challenges. I feel honoured to be a part of the Stuck Sketches design team and am very grateful for the opportunity to step back into a designing role after quite a long absence.

And Celeste's application layout:

I will be back to introduce another new member tomorrow.

Creative Team Call - Spring / Summer 2011

2011-06-22T00:14:00.000+10:00

I hinted a little earlier in the week about an exciting post to go up on the blog here this week. And here it is:

Can you believe that nearly 6 months have gone by since our current Creative Team started? And with that passage of time, it’s time to add some fresh faces to the team.

I'm looking for an undetermined number of creative team members for the Spring / Summer 2011 team. These will be mix of old and new.

Requirements:
Please read these carefully, I will not consider any applications that are missing information / requirements.

1. Create a layout based on the sketch below. Individual interpretation and personal style is strongly encouraged but the sketch must still be easily recognisable.

2. Also include the following in your email:
a. Full name & country
b. Blog link
c. Do you prefer to scrap in 8.5 x 11 or 12 x 12?
d. A short bio including any current or previous DTs and publications (previous experience isn’t necessary, I am just curious)
e. A list of forums etc. you visit regularly
f. A few short sentences about why you want to be on the CT

All entries must be 12 x 12 or 8.5 x 11. I will be selecting a mix of scrappers who create in predominately one size or the other.

Entries are to be emailed to stucksketches@optusnet.com.au . Please put STUCK?! CREATIVE TEAM APPLICATION in the subject line. Please keep your layout size to a maximum 500 x 500px as anything higher will cause my inbox to clog.

All emails must be received by midnight on Sunday July 24th (AEST). The Creative Team will be contacted by July 31st and will be announced on during our August birthday celebrations.

Expectations:

* Your term will run from the September 2011 to March 2011 sketches. You will receive your first sketches during the month of August 2011 and your final sketches during the month of February 2011.
*Each CT member will be required to submit 2 LOs per month. At the beginning of the current month, I will send you both new sketches for the following month and it will be due late in the current month.
* CT members are expected to remain EXCLUSIVE to Stuck?! Sketches for their CT period. We are not able to accept applicants who are current CT members for other sketch blogs / sites. You are free to design for other challenge blogs, just not those who only do sketches.
* You must maintain a current blog. Word of mouth is the only way people will know about Stuck?! and you must be willing to promote Stuck?! on your blog.
* Positions will be held for a six month period and members will be required to reapply at the end of the six months to continue on.
*CT members should use the Stuck?! blinkie and promote Stuck?! wherever and whenever possible! I want each CT member to be proud to be a member and to spread the word around!!!

If you have any questions, please email them to me and I will answer them as soon as I can.

Looking forward to seeing your applications.

June Sponsors

2011-06-03T10:33:00.000+10:00

This month we have our 3 regular sponsors and one extra sponsor providing goodies for you all this month.

Our new sponsor this month is the gorgeous girls Wendy and Susan from A Lil Somethin'. The girls have just started their little venture and here is a bit about them:

We are 2 scrapping sisters who love to make and use hand crafted embellishments on our layouts. We both have boys, and have noticed a severe lack of BOY SPECIFIC embellishments available for purchase, so have decided that we might try to fill the void with our hand crafted unique embellishments.

The majority of our products are made using re-purposed materials and a lot of love. We will be having limited edition sales on a regular basis on our blog and you can keep up to date with all our upcoming sales by following our facebook page. All sale items are previewed here a week prior to our sale dates.

We are thrilled to be sponsoring one of our favourite challenge blogs and hope you all enter for a chance to win our prize pack.

And a looksie at their prize pack, valued at approximately $25.00

And let's not forget our generous regular sponsors. These girls are a wonderful support to Stuck?! and I really do appreciate their generousity each month.

Scrap Therapy - providing a $25 voucher

Red Earth Scrapping - providing a $15 voucher

Scrapbook Savvy - providing a $10 voucher

Looking forward to seeing all of this month's entries.
