Challenge no.24 - Glitter, Snowflakes and Masking

Hello Everyone

Welcome to our last challenge of this year! Can you believe it?! Amazing how the time has flown and this is the last challenge for 2013! It's a goodie though and I am sure that you will like it! What's not to like about Glitter, Snowflakes and Masking! ;-)

So you can create a page, card or tag or even altered project (if you have the time), and we would love to see it! So pull out those snowy photo's and play along! ;-)

We have a super Guest Designer for this challenge and she is the wonderfully talented and creative Yvonne Yam.

Here's what Yvonne had to say:

Hello there! Greetings from sunny Singapore! My name is Yvonne and I'm delighted to be guest designing for Scrap Africa. :) 

When asked to define my style, I always say "eclectic" which is really euphemism for..."I can't make up my mind!" *LOL*  I do love playing with mediums and incorporating some found ephemera on my projects for a bit of fun and whimsy. Drop by my blog Do More With Less for weekday inspiration as I share projects, tips and tutorials.   

Yvonne created this festive and gorgeous page below. The feathers and bow are just such a beautiful touch!

Thanks so much Yvonne for creating this stunning page! ;-)

Now onto the inspiration from the Design Team.

The host of this challenge is the amazing Jowilna Nolte! She created this beatiful tag!

If you pop over to her blog, you will find more wonderful eye candy! ;-)

I'm married and I have two daughters. My family is a constant source of inspiration and our daily life gives topics for my pages. I also love to create minialbums, cards and canvases.

If you wish to see more of my work, please come and meet me in my blog Paperilitiin (paperiliitin.blogspot.com). You can also find me from social media like Facebook, Twitter and YouTube.

Check out this gorgeous page that Riikka created for our challenge.

Riikka has the most amzing style and she really just makes it look so easy! This page is an absolute gem.

Now Riikka being the talented lady she is, also created a video on how she created this page! This is certainly a first here at Scrap Africa and I am thrilled that Riikka is sharing it with us! Please go and take a look, it is certainly wonderful inspiration! ;-)

I am sure Riikka would love for you to pop over to her blog and say HI, as well as see more eye-candy.

We also have a previous TOP 3 winner to provide some inspiration, Irina Malahova created a stunning page for us.
