Our Latest Newsletter hit our inboxes on Friday morning, it was full of inspiration and TSE news.
We’ve had a lot of new members join up in the forum, don’t forget we are entering all new forum members during the month of July into the draw to win a copy of Elsie Flannigan’s 52 Scrapbooking Challenges idea book. All you need to do is register and create just one post to introduce yourself - don’t be shy.
Our Gallery holds some amazing work, if you haven’t had a look lately, i encourage you to do so NOW. Our Sketch Challenge for the month of July is almost closed - the entries are fantastic and i’m already worried about how I will possibly select one winner.
Father’s Day Mini Book Kit by Jane Jones

This Week Lou takes us through working with colors …..
“This months Page to Cards looks at Colour…….. I just love colour. I am a bit crazy with it. The brighter the better and I am not too worried about breaking any of the rules.
I have noticed lots of people are a bit scared of colour – scared of mixing certain colours together or choosing colours that are just ‘not them’.
Are you one of those people that always picks up blue/brown or pink/purple or another certain colour scheme?
You have girls so you scrap in pink right?
Oh they don’t make enough boy papers, right?
I’m going to try and show you some different ways to experiment and explore colour and maybe challenge those ‘colour rules’ that we all try to stick too!” Lou Spiden
You can find Lou’s Tutorial here at the TSE forum.

Just feast your eyes on this stunning work by the super talented DT member Jane Jones
You can find detailed instructions on how to make this gorgeous book HERE
DT member Jane Jone set a Challenge for July to create an 8×11 page inspired by page 42 and 43 of Ali Edwards Designers Eye 2, but this time it’s Elsie inspired. We had to take a photo of ourselves taking a photo.
Jane had a hard time choosing the winner,and had this to say about the winning LO…. “I loved the black background (very elsie) the felt flowers and doodling and the picture is terrific. Well done sweetie awesome page” but she finally chose this rocking LO by Jaimee
Look at the wonderful Prize Jaimee received from Jane for her winning LO.
Be sure to pop over to TSE to check out the awesome new Challenge that Jane has set from Heidi Swapps - Just For Looks book.
Here is the information on the challenge and then GO HERE to chat and check out everyone else’s work!
