*U/V* Thirsty Thursday

We thought we would combine letters U & V this week for our Thirsty Thursday challenge, especially as we didn't post one last week. Only a few more letters left in the alphabet so I am sure you all know how to play along by now. Below we have listed some prompts for you and we challenge you to use to kickstart your next papercrafting project. Incorporate one or more in a layout or card and share your creativity using the link at the end of this blog post for a chance to win a prize in our monthly draw.

U is for University - Have you scrapped your graduation photo, your sons/daughters? Maybe you have fond memories of your time at University that need to be told on a layout. This week we challenge you to create a page linked to University. Karen shares a layout for this challenge where she scrapbooked how hard it was bidding farewell to her daughter returning to University after her Christmas visit.

U is for Upside down - Why not take this month's sketch challenge, turn it upside down and use it for your next project inspiration? Maybe you have some upside down photos to scrap? Kids in the park hanging from the swings, maybe monkeys in the zoo (and can you tell the difference!) Share your upside down projects with us.

U is for Unfinished - Complete a page or project you started and share it with us here, a before and after photo which shows you completed it as part of this challenge. I often start pages at crops and then finish them off at home with those final touches I always omit to take with me!

Last weekend it was my photos I left behind so two pages were created with photos to be added later!

V is for VALENTINE - Have you felt love in the air this week? Maybe you have made a handmade gift for that special someone that you can share for this challenge? Why not scrap a photo that shows much love for this week's Valentine's challenge.

V is for VIOLET - Do you use shades of Violet or mauve in your projects much? I must say I don't tend to use this colour very often so this would be a great challenge for me - maybe an idea to get a head start on a Mothers Day card for next month and some nice Violet coloured flowers!

As always we would love to see how you interpret the challenges this week. If you'd like to be in with a chance to win a prize from the shop simply link your creations using our Inlinkz tool below, or leave us a lovely comment with a link to your page and which of the challenges (one or more) that you have met with your creation. This challenge runs until middnight on March 1st 2012.

T is for TURQUOISE - Cool it down with browns and greys for a wintery feel or spice it up with warm oranges, yellows and reds for a summery page. How will you feature the colour turquoise on your project this week? Mel created this striking page using inks and mists in turquoise as shared in the March 2011 gallery.

T is for TICKETS AND TAGS - Great for adding dates to projects, or for hidden journalling or simply added as efemera tickets and tags appear frequently on pages. This week we challenge you to incorporate a tag or ticket or both on your next project. 7Gypsies produce a vast array of 97% complete tags for use on layouts - take a look at some of them in our store here.

T is for TIME - Bo Bunny had a great range of papers in their 2011 collections featuring clocks and other time related items. The April 2011 DT gallery showcases a number of projects featuring clocks or with time related titles including this one by Karen Moss. Why not use time, or clocks or a reference to the passing of time on a project this week.

T is for TIM HOLTZ - The most well known male in scrapbooking and the name behind many a crafting produc Mr Tim Holtz never fails to inspire with his creations.

S is for STITCH or SEW - An inexpensive way to add embellishments, texture and interest to your projects we do like a bit of sewing on our pages (or at least I do!).

S is for SCRAPLIFT - “Scraplifting” — this is a term that refers to copying/borrowing (or taking direct inspiration from) the idea behind a layout or design and using it or modifying it for your own layout. This week we challenge you to scraplift a layout of your own that you have created and to share both the original and your "inspired" by projects with us.

*R* Thirsty Thursday

My favourite day of the week again as we continue our Thirsty Thursday challenge series with the letter R. Below we have listed some R prompts for you which you can take to kickstart your next papercrafting project. Incorporate one or more in a layout or card and share your creativity using the link at the end of this blog post for a chance to win a prize in our monthly draw.

R is for RE-DO - Do you ever go back and re-do your layouts? I know some people who do, others who resist and move on to another photo and story to tell. I do however sometimes rescrap the same photo (especially if I am very fond of it!) Here Karen Moss shows you a complete re-do of a layout, same journalling, same title, one of the same photos... why not rise to this challenge this week?

R is for RED - I wonder how often you use this vibrant and passionate colour on your projects? I should imagine with Valentines day around the corner quite a little more will be seen of it in coming weeks within the papercraft industry! Why not show us your RED projects this week.

R is for RUB-ONS - Be they alphabet rub-ons used in your journalling or layout title or maybe some of the lovely image, flowers/scrolls rub-ons available let's see how you incorporate them in your next design.

R is for ROMANCE -Is love in the air or is that a chill?! You may choose to scrapbook a lovely-dovey photo, or an anniversary/wedding/engagement photo for this weeks challenge, or you could make a card to tell someone you love them. Karen Cole's card from January gallery illustrates this challenge mixed with the RED challenge.

R is for REVIEW - Ann shared her year in review layout here on the blog last week using Simple Stories papers. Why not use this idea to create a review of your 2011 and meet this R challenge?

We're back again with another letter in our Thirsty Thursday challenge series, and as you can imagine the letter Q had as thinking quite creatively! So what did we come up with?...

Q is for QUILT - Either chose to lay your project out in a patchwork style for this challenge or scrapbook a duvet day (quilt!) photo or story. Ann created a patchwork effect on her Christmas Elf layout achieved using a square decorative edge punch and small scraps of paper left over from other festive projects. This is a great technique to use for creating effective background on cards, again using up left over pieces from your scrapbooking projects.

Q is for Quote - Use a famous or well known quote on your project this week. 7G have several sayings and quotes on their 97% complete sticker sheets - they even have a set called Quotes!

Maybe quote a funny conversation from a loved one - I know I have many a funny tale to tell of my boys for this challenge!

Q is for QUEST - Have you ever set out on a quest? Searched for something, or some place? Why you create your next project telling the story of this quest so others can read all about your adventures?

Q is for QUAINT -Take a look at the definitions of this word and then interpret onto your pages for this challenge.

If you'd like to be in with a chance to win a prize from the shop this month simply link your creations using our Inlinkz tool below, or leave us a lovely comment with a link to your page and which of the P challenges (one or more) that you have met with your creation.

Welcome back to another challenge called Thirsty Thursday where we aim to inspire you with a challenge to quench your creative thirst.

Week 10 this week and we are taking inspiration from the letter J prompts below to make a layout, card or another crafty project. So here we go...

J is for JOURNALLING - Be prepared to share the tales behind your beloved photographs this week. You can choose to hand write your story, or use a computer/typewriter or maybe even small alphabet stamps and lots of patience to journal on your page. Maybe use a journalling template to get creative with your words or a patterned paper with journalling cards such as this one by Simple Stories.

J is for JOURNEY - Travel is always a popular theme amongst scrapbookers with many products dedicated to the subject. This week we challenge you to create a page about a journey which could be interpreted in many ways and we look forward to seeing how you play this one.

J is for JEWELLERY - Do you have a special piece of jewellery that has a story behind it, maybe a family piece that you could create a page about to tell the tale behind it? This would be a great challenge to combine with journalling this week.

Welcome back after a week off from our regular weekly challenge called Thirsty Thursday where we aim to inspire you with a challenge to quench your creative thirst. Don't worry if this is the first you have heard of our challenges. You can pick up from here and play along or look back at previous weeks and join in those too. This week we are up to week 9 and we are taking inspiration from the letter I prompts below to make a layout, card or another crafty project. So here we go...

I is for INTERACTIVE - Can you make your cards pop and flip and fold? Do you have hidden journalling on your page or another interactive element ? This week we challenge your next project to contain an interactive element.

I is for INK - Be these your ordinary ink pads, the very popular distress inks (stocked HERE in the shop), spray inks or your even alcohol inks; it is time to dig them out for this week's challenge.

I is for IVY - Holly and the Ivy Seasonal project prompt perhaps, or maybe include a stamped Ivy leaf on an Autumnal page. This week we challenge you to include Ivy on your project.

I is for IDEA BOOKS - Do you have a selection of these in your craft room, sitting unused on the shelf? Might be time to regenerate them and be inspired by a project within it. We have a selection of Idea Books in the shop also if you are looking for Christmas gift for a fellow crafter?

I is for INDIVIDUAL - A large individual photograph on a layout can make quite the statement and often need little else adding to the page other than pretty paper of course! Why not feature an oversize Individual photograph on a project for this week's challenge.

Before you head off to play we just want to share as always a couple of inspiring projects from our design team, this week from Jane and Ann.

Jane shares with us an inky page with an interesting design element too.
