Bee Arty January Challenge

Julie Schinkel Thursday, January 15, 2026 0 Comments

Hi my creative friends! Toay I'm sharing my take on the January Challenge over in the Bee Arty Creative Hive. I've been meaning to do the challenges but time gets away on me but this year I've set myself the task to do them. I've decided to really challenge myself and use all three options for the challenge - the sketch, the colour palette and the theme. The sketch is the trickiest because I'm fighting all of my natural urges to do my style and stick to the sketch.

Here is my completed layout plus close up photos.

Bee Arty Products Used:

Saltwater 12x12 Collection Pack

Coral Script Clear Stamp Set

Wave Texture Clear Stamp Set

Double Bubble Metal Die

250gsm 12x12 White Cardstock

Thanks for stopping by, until next time happy crafting!

Lilac Euphoria Mini Album

Julie Schinkel Saturday, January 03, 2026 0 Comments

Hi everyone, today I'm sharing a mini album that I've created using the Lilac Euphoria collection from 3Quarter Designs. This project has been on the backburner for a little while as I've been busy with other design team work and life in general. I've finally got it finished to the point that I can upload it to share. I will probably add a few more bits and pieces but for the most part, it's finished.

Thanks for stopping by, happy crafting. Julie xx

Home Decor Piece for Scrapaholics

Julie Schinkel Monday, December 29, 2025 0 Comments

Hello crafty friends, today I'm sharing my second Scrapaholics Design Team project for December and last for 2025. Where did this year go? For this project I have upcycled a coffee jar and turned it into a home decor piece. The jar was painted black and cream, lace and trims added, then I've used the Rose Flourish and Botanicals Set 8 chipboard pieces for the focal point and decoration. The chipboard pieces have also been painted with black paint. Finished off with some shiny gems for some added bling. This coffee jar can now be used as a vase, for storage or just as a standalone decorative piece.

Here is my completed project plus close up photos showing how I've embellished the coffee jar. A list of Scrapaholics products used is listed below.

Scrapaholics Products Used:
