PACS 2010 - Team challenge - Totem

We're back.

The PACS convention was a GREAT experience for me. I loved few workshops - I learned new things and tried different techniques. Few workshops were nice & fun, but I didn't learn anything new and 1 workshop was terrible! But it was 1 out of 12, so it'

s not that bad.

Anyway - this is our centerpiece for the team challenge. We didn't win a prize, but it was fun to make, especially considering the fact that all the pieces came from 3 different countries, all had to fly to France...

We chose to be "the scrap fairies". We wore pink wings, crown & wand...

These pictures were taken at the morning after the crop night, when we put it all together:

Many people complimented us for our work (and some even asked us how come we didn't win). It was fun!

I appreciate your comments!

Chunky Book - Keren

Keren celebrated her birthday in a scrappy way. It's the first scrappy-birthday I have invited to, but I couldn't participate. The birthday was on Wednesday evening, and few hours later I had a flight to Paris, for the PACS scrapbooking convention.

Anyway, as part of the scrappy birthday - all the participants were supposed to create a chunky page. This is the page I made:

The front - spin wheel with cupcakes images

The back (it was planned to be the front, but I didn't notice the direction - Hebrew is opened from right to left and this is left opening, so it had to be the back): paper piecing cupcakes, some are 3D:

And when you open you discover a pop-up cupcake and the greeting:

It was very fun to make - I used many techniques and I just hope she liked it!

I used:

Cardstocks: Kraft, Sonburn, DCWV & many scraps for the cupcakes paper piecing

Stamps: Unity, Image Tree

Ink: StazOn, Marmelada

Lace trim

Team Challenge (fairies) - PACS 2010

Here are 5 fairies I created for the team challenge @ PACS. I punched flowers and attached them to this foam fairy. It took some time, but 5 fairies are ready to travel to France...

And all of them together:

I used: Sonburn cardstock

Team Challenge (Weather Vanes) - PACS 2010

Another decoration I made for the team challenge was weather vanes. Each is made from 6X6 paper, cut with shaped scissors, attached with brad to a drinking straw...

I used Sonburn cardstock

Team challenge (names) - PACS 2010

I guess there will be few posts about my creations for the team challenge @ PACS. The challenge was to form group of 5, to create a team; Find a name (The fairy scrappers) & make a totem for the center of the table at the big crop room. The challenge takes place on Friday night (I guess that when this post is being published).

Our team members are Yafit (which doesn't have a blog - my partner from Israel), Roula & Katerina (from Greece) & Sarah (from England).

We decided that Roula & Katerina will make the centerpiece and each creation we make for this evening, we'll do 5 times, so by the end of this crazy experience we all end up with all the creations.

The first thing I made was signs with our names. It measures about 6" (not including the thread above and below - with the beads):

I'll post more creations I make for this event, and when I'm home - I'll publish our whole table. I'm curious what we'll end up with (and what other teams will do).

I used: Cuttlebug & Nestabilities, JustRite Stampers & other unidentified: doilly, lace, felt...
