The Effer Dares challenge blog has recently undergone a revamp – meaning there is even more inspiration to be found there! The Effers – the seven scrapbookers behind the blog – make use of Twitter, Facebook and Flickr to bring fresh weekly challenges to the world of scrapbooking. Their projects include layouts, mini books and home decór items so there’s loads to see. Play along with the Dares by posting links of your own interpretations too.
Scrapbooker Karen Cole has a real knack for finding cool websites for scrapbook shopping and inspiration. On her blog, Red Art Scrapping, she links to other sites she enjoys looking at, and posts loads of her own beautiful layouts for you to drool over. We really admire the way Karen bases her scrapbook layouts around various stories she has encountered in her life, as well as some of the more random themes she comes up with! Well worth a visit.
Design team member Cheryl Johnson is a woman of many talents and Feelgood Photos is a testament to this as she documents her roles as wife, mother, teacher, scrapbooker and photographer. Take a peek at her professional photos taken at weddings, in her studio and at scrapping events. Cheryl shows that scrapbooks don’t just have to be displayed literally as books but that they can also be a series of photos celebrating the things that you enjoy.
Take inspiration from the colourful photographs of Leslie Shewring. Leslie’s blog, A Creative Mint, is home to her irresistible collection of ‘colour investigations’, including these elegant avocado and turquoise photos (above). Bringing together eclectic arrangements of beautiful objects, Leslie’s photographs can make you look again at the world around you and find new links between colour and design to boost your mojo! An absolute treat of a website, well worth a look.
