Jot Magazine March moodboard challenge - 9x12 scrapbook layout "Bloom"

Hi Scrap Friends

Today I'm sharing my take on the March moodboard at

Jot Magazine

"Bloom"

I love the colours of this moodboard but the inspiration images kind of threw me.

I decided to use the balloons and flowers as a starting point.

I got out some white cardstock and drew some balloons with my Tim Holtz distress crayons.

I cut them out freehand and combined them on my page with some twine and floral elements from Shimelle "Little by Little" and Kaisercraft "Wildflower".

Sitting on my desk was the new "Wild at Heart" collection from Cocoa Vanilla Studio and the chipboard pieces were screaming out to be used.

So I added the "Bloom" title.

At this point, I hadn't even chosen a photograph.

Off I went searching for something that would fit with my commenced creation.

I didn't want a large or multiple photos.

This one I think is perfect - as it shows Master Z's cheeky personality and grin.

I finished by attaching my 8.5x11 white card onto a 9x12 Kaisercraft "Wildflower" paper.

I'm seriously loving the minimalist layouts at the moment.

Thanks for visiting.

Jot Magazine - January Moodboard challenge layout "Love"

Hi Scrap Friends

Today's layout share is created for the January challenge at 

Jot Magazine

My page "Love"

My inspiration was the bed.

I'm seriously addicted to quilt cover sets and purchase them a LOT!
So I decided to document the story of our bed.

My layers come from various 6x6 paper pieces trimmed and then layered in the background. 

I've coloured some cheeseclothe and made the journalling an important part of the page!

I've also included some nautical elements from the moodboard and of course stuck with the colours.

Thanks for visiting.

Jot Magazine October Moodboard Challenge - "Happy" Scrapbooking layout

Hello Scrap Friends

As the end of the month approaches, so does the rush to complete all

those layouts on my desk.

Today I'm sharing a layout inspired by the October moodboard at
Jot Magazine

My Layout "Happy"

Here are some close ups.

My background is water colour over gesso, then layers of washi tape, modelling paste,

stitching and stamping.

I initially found the moodboard a little challenging.

I used the colours as inspiration, the circles and the word Happy.
