Challenge no.45 - Die-Cuts Delight

Hello Everyone

We hope you had a loved and special Valentine's Day yesterday! We also hope you played along with our hearty sketch challenge! ;-)

BUT today we have a new challenge for you and it's a Die-Cut Delight.

Use Die-Cuts on your project....and show us how creative you can get with your die-cuts, whether cardboard, paper or chipboard.

We have an amazing Special Guest Designer for this challenge.  She is super talented and so very creative - Elena Morgun

My name is Elena Morgun.  I'm 25 years old. I live in Ukraine. I am a happy mother to 2 lovely kids.

Scrapbooking is a huge part of my life, and it is more than a hobby by now. I can not imagine my day without scrapping. I am happy to share my tips and knowledge in my tutorials.

I am constantly learning new things. I am playing with new techniques and materials all the time. I am open to the experiments and you can often see their results in my creations. One of the most distinctive characteristics of my style is that I love mixing dark grunge accents with the tender flowers and lace.

I hope you enjoy my creations!

You can also find me HERE on my blog and HERE on my Youtube Channel.

Elena created this stunning page for us.

I love the vintage feel and colouring, along with the beautiful die-cut chipboard pieces and beautiful blooms.

This page is all about softness, details and layering! Just beautiful! ;-)

Thanks so much Elena for Guest Designing for us! ;-)

Please pop along to Elena's blog for even more eye candy and inspiration!

We have another super Guest Designer, she was a TOP HAT from a previous challenge - Jenny Andersson.

My name is Jenny Andersson and I live in the north of Sweden with my husband and three boys. Love to photograph my family and trips we make, which goes well together with my biggest hobby, scrapbooking. I make all kinds of thing in my scrapcave such as LO, birthdaycards and so on. I find lots of inspiration in everyday things, photographs as well as a creative sketch :) I´m on two designteams here in Sweden and I also have my own blog. I would love it if you visit me www.vitatulpanen.wordpress.com  

I love to alter old musicrecords and hang them on the walls in our house :) Here I´ve made one with me and my husband on vacation in New York city. If you look really close you can see the statue of liberty between us ;)

The design on Jenny's layout is just beautiful and the styling so gorgeous! It's fun and fresh and fabulous! ;-) 

Thanks so much Jenny for designing this stunning page for us! ;-)

We also have a 3rd and very talented Guest Designer, Andrea Jones who was also one of our previous TOP HATS.
