Challenge # 55 - 'Double'



Challenge #55
 is all about

 'Double'

The Shabby girls are seeing double!
This can mean a variety of ideas and creativity.....

You can use the word  ‘Double’, or  it can be in the title as a shadow, or  two identical photos (say a black and white and a colour of the same photo) or twins, or in your design, or two matching embellishments, or a double page LO  ……  so long as we see ‘double’!
Let us know what it is you’ve done- make it obvious!


Remember to be the winner - you must create only for LGS, not combine with other challenges, although you can (if you combine with other challenges) be a Honorable Mention :)


Here are the Design Team Creations

Christiane - a Goodbye.....
Christiane(France)
Sadly for us, this is Christiane's last wonderful DT project.
And has been with LGS since September 2011 - a long time!
 We wish you all the very best Christiane - you will be missed!

AND to Ludka - HELLO!
Ludka has joined our Shabby team....
Join us in our warm welcome to Ludka
My name is LudmiƂa, my friends call me Ludka. I’ve been present in the
virtual world for several years as Ludkasz. I’m a teacher, like I had
dreamt since my childhood. I like my work very much. Since I was a
child, creating has been my hobby. Now I’m keen on paper art, I make
postcards, photo albums and so on. I love flowers and butterflies,
there are many of them in my works. Laces, pearls and tapes are also
something I add very often. I can’t imagine my work without
punches;). My favourite styles are retro and romantic.
Paper art includes also decoupage. I like this technique as well.
Sometimes I manage to enthuse somebody with this passion:)
Besides I create felt or mineral jewellery, also in retro style.
Thank you for the very warm welcome :)

 Ludka's Card:
Double paper patterns, clocks, birds and elements...

WE ARE BACK!! Challenge #52



Yes we are back and Summer is almost over, children are back to school and we are all back in our routines.....

including

LET'S GET SHABBY!

 We are now up to Challenge  #52

An inspirational picture to be interpreted any way you wish

though we DO need you to tell us what inspired your  project from the picture...
(remember to create only for LGS)


Isn't it gorgeous!  

Here are the Design Team's projects and explanations...



I used the picture as a sketch and recreated the dress from white petals with a poster feel





 I was inspired by the colours and the dogs and created with a vintage tag. 
I have also used the poster as a sketch.





I was inspired mainly by the colours in the poster and the 'Paris' aspect of the film where in order to help her forget her woes, Sabrina (Audrey Hepburn) is shipped off Paris in this romantic film.

So for my DT piece I decided to alter a house blank.





 I was inspired by the vintage picture with the dogs, therefore used this photo of my grandmother with her cat.  I also followed the picture as a sketch.




Inspired by the colours and the movie theme (use of film strips).




Used the picture of Audrey Hepburn  and used the picture as a sketch too.



Sadly we say goodbye to
who has been with Let's Get Shabby a long time.
We were very lucky to be inspired by her amazing beautifully crafted projects.
Best of luck Zanka we will certainly miss you!

And to introduce our newest member

Julie, Deb and I have worked together with Bec over at 'Let's December Daily' but our friendship developed years and years ago between the four of us and its so nice to have her with us here too.
Here's a bit about Bec
 .
 I’ve been scrapping traditionally since 2007 with lots of Off The Page, which I love, being thrown amongst the scrapping also.  I have discovered Project Life at the end of 2012 and am so hooked. But I still love to do my 12x12 pages as well.  After almost 9 years in Early Education I have landed my dream job of working in a scrapbooking store. And what a joy it is.  I am a full time working mum of a teenage boy and a 5yo that thinks she is a teenager. They are my inspiration and my drive to scrapbook and record our memories.
 

I was inspired by the colours and the shapes of the inspiration picture, the black outline of the poster and the shape on the wall which reminded me of a feather.


------------------------------------------

THE PRIZE.....

Some fabulous chipboard!
 

Just have your projects uploaded to Mr Linky below by
 midnight 20th March
(Sydney Australia time - see the clock on upper left side bar)

We are looking forward to seeing your interpretations!
