Here's a new challenge for everyone, a scrapift! I did this LO from one of the This or That challenges in February. It's a very simple design and for some reason, I didn't embellish mine very much. So I'd love to see what everyone else comes up with scraplifting this. And I'm off to have a go too. Can't wait to see your creations! xXx grammadee can you add this one to the May list, thank you!  |

Got it, kiwigirl ! And I see that admin had pinned all the recent challenges, so I hope it can go up there too. BTW, I look forward to a Kiwi lift! That much precision with Nuvos scares me, but I still have N left to do, and what's a challenge without a CHALLENGE, right? |

BTW, I look forward to a Kiwi lift! That much precision with Nuvos scares me, but I still have N left to do, and what's a challenge without a CHALLENGE, right? I am just writing my next blog post about Nuvos! Don't be scared, they're fun. Don't even try and be perfect, mine never are but nobody seems to notice the dodgy ones, I can see a few in that LO! Definitely practice a few first, it gets the bottle going as well. Some bottles work well, some don't. Don't touch the nozzle to the paper, I get into a rhythm of squeezing as I'm moving to the next place so I have a blob, then touch the blob to the paper. I count, I don't know why this helps me (probably OCD as I count quite a few things I do) but it sort of gets the rhythm going. Also, sometimes all you have to do is blob and it's a good dot. Sometimes you have to blob and swirl to get a good dot, depending on the consistency of the bottle. Here's my old blog post if you have any problems The good, the bad & the ugly |

Here is my lift. A page about my dgd's first job at McDonalds.  Smiles are free by Gramma Dee, on Flickr Hard to focus on what to lift with this page, kiwigirl. I knew I had to do the lines of Nuvo drops. But I was also drawn to the bright colours, dynamic stripes, big title, and the butterflies. Pretty sure I have some of that black striped paper around, but gave up looking, and went for black ink on the edges of my papers. Also claiming this for the letter N. ( Nuvo, of course, and I used as a stencil the negative spaces from some butterflies I punched ages ago.) |

I love it grammadee ! Love that vellum in the background and your Nuvo dots are fab! I think black is the hardest one to use, it's very unforgiving and mine always seem to be quite thin and runny, so the drops spread super quick. I think that black & white stripe is Crate Paper, that boy line and it has puppy dogs on the reverse I think? Yep, CP Cool Kid. I can't believe you only have 2 letters to go lol! I'm only up to Q!  |

Here's mine at last! It is my P LO for the A-Z so I was waiting for today to share it. I followed it pretty much to the letter, those yellow stripes on mine above are ribbon and I really wanted some black spotty ribbon to use on this - to match the ribbon on Heidi's ID card but I didn't have any. So I dug out some old paper. I also wanted to use some Ali Edwards stash but I don't have anything of hers except stamps and I'm not a big stamper. So I went Heidi stash all the way!  |
