The Yellow Team



The kits for the YELLOW TEAM each contained the same set of patterned papers, but the large Heidi Swapp die cut with a title word varied from kit to kit. 

I made a page using a sketch, but the measurements for the collage on the right hand page turned out to be wrong. So to solve the problem I added extra photos to enlarge the collage.


 A few of the ladies used my page to jump start theirs, but made a few changes. Here Hayley used the Swiss Dot card stock for the background and not the diagonal stripe. She also added a large potjie to frame her word die cut, because the pale yellow just didn't show up against the background as well.


Nicole made her collage much larger and she also glazed the glasses on the aprons with Glossy Accents which made them look very realistic.


Alison took a completely different approach, using the black paper for the background and spread the three aprons around the page to create a visual triangle. She also added strip journaling, a circle and some Washi tape.


Reinette cut up the black paper and also cut the chevrons to create a zigzag border.

Great pages ladies!

The Blue Team



For the 2013 Scrap booking / Fly fishing weekend I packed three kits so that the ladies could scrapbook the previous year's Potjiekos Competition. Each lady got the same supplies and could design her page to her liking.

This post features the pages of the BLUE TEAM who cooked a lamb potjie.

Glenda designed this page and was kind enough to let some of us scrap lift it!

I changed my layout by using different photos, and featuring each of the men wearing real fabric chefs hats from Jolee's Boutique. I also added some machine stitching to the white card stock.

A close up of the real fabric hats that I added to the three small photos.

This page was made by Alison. She used the cup cake papers to add an embellishment on the sides and basically turned the page around so that the frill was at the top.


Jeanette made chef's hats from the pleated, white card stock frill.

Neva added her title to the enlarged photo making the colour pop.

Nicole placed her pleated card stock frill facing upwards.


Reinette placed her frill at the top of the page and used the Vote Blue photo as her title and focal point.
Glenda made a second page using a potjie cut on a Silhouette and...
the flap on the right hand side lifts up to reveal her journaling and the all important recipe!
