Catwalk 4 - Gok Inspired challenge

It's my week to host the Catwalk challenges over at the SBO forum, check out the details here

I have been busy busy busy creating layouts lately for the Gok challenges and upcoming Design Team work and for the ezine so cannot show you everything right now but these are my layouts for this weeks Catwalk...

Use white space on your layout (my white space is in fact dark brown!) Journalling block and layout design by Cathy Zielske from her BPS class Design Your Life

These two layouts are using inking and glimmermist.

Create a layout for under NZ$5 (my layout cost $2.15 to create).

Check out the forum for more details.

I have only just realised I forgot to upload my layouts from Catwalk 3, so here they are...

Using sewing on your layout, I am quite chuffed with my little Title element esp the handstitching.

Using pearl bling on your layout - simple little pearl bling flower centres

Using fabric on your layout - I created this layout (Maya Rd chipboard design) with jac paper and some scraps of fabric.

Catwalk 1 challenge 1 WARDROBE - here I have tried to 'replicate' the handbag that Alyse took to the school disco with a bit of paper piecing.

Catwalk 1 challenge 2 ON TREND - I chose to use the purple and hot pink as my main colour scheme with the teal as the accent colour (with a little bit of black and white thrown in for good measure).

Catwalk 1 challenge 3 HIGH FASHION - I just love everything about my layout here, esp the photo of the two youngest grandchildren with Aunty Alyse. The MME Pretty Please papers are definitely a favourite range and the handcut felt heart complete with handstitching was the perfect accessory. (btw - IRL the pink matches).

Two more sleeps till the big competition begins

Here are some sneak peeks of some of my layouts for a couple of the challenges...

no explanation about these sorry cos I don't want to give any clues.
