--- Color, Stories, Inspiration CSI Challenge Blog DT --- September 1st reveal

Hi Scrap Friends

Today I'm also sharing the new challenge over at
CSI Challenge Blog.

My layout "Wild at Heart"

All you have to do to play along is solve the case.

It might sound hard but it's really quite easy - colours, image inspiration, title, journalling?
Pick one or pick them all and use it as your inspiration to create.

I chose a school inspired page.
Embellishing was easy, I created some frames and then added a calendar, leaves and banner.
I also tried to follow the colour scheme too.

My favourite part of CSI challenges is that they really inspire you to create a Story!

So get out there and tell your story!

Happy Scrapping.

--- CSI Challenge blog --- July 1st scrapbook layout reveal - Case File No. 257

Hi Scrap Friends

I'm pleased to announce that I've joined the team at CSI Challenge blog

My first reveal is a fun project "Look"

Case File No. 257

My inspiration came firstly from the glasses!

I wanted to create a page all about seeing and the eyes.

I had a look through my stash and found this photo of Master Z who was pretty excited about something (I don't remember what).



I've titled the page "Look".

My other inspiration was
- leaves
- glasses
- black and white pattern
-string

I documented a day at the beach.

I love the striking patterns of this page with the little pops of turquoise.

It was easy to put together and ticks the 2018 box - stash busting!!!

Thanks for visiting.
Happy Scrapping.

--- Colour Blast DT --- "Friends' Scrapbook Layout + process video

Hi Scrap Friends

Today I'm sharing a new project for Colour Blast

"Friends"

This page (for me at least) is VERY mixed media!!!

I've used the following

Colour Artists Ink Soot

Colour Spray Rainforest

Colour Shimmer Dust Lust

Colour Spray Sunset

Colour Paste Tangareen Dream

***

I firstly chose a photo - the little pop of orange in the picture was my inspiration for the pop of orange on this layout.

The Colour Artists Ink come with a dropper - so I wanted to use this to make my background.

I've lightly sprayed the edge of the page with water and then used the dropper to add colour and let it run.

As each layer dries, rotate the page and repeat.

I let the ink dry naturally overnight and then added some Colour Paste Tangareen Dream through a stencil in some of the square areas of the ink drips.

To help with the flow of my orange theme, I've trimmed the outside of the inked cardstock and mounted it on orange.

I also added some background splatters with Colour Spray Sunset

While playing around with the layout, I decided I needed to frame the photo.

I pulled out a chipboard circle and added some White Heavy Gesso

I thought about embossing, but decided to pull a little of the green from the elements of the paper collection I've used and firstly painted the chipboard with Colour Spray Rainforest.

It just wasn't green enough so I then coloured it with the Colour Shimmer Dust Lust  - much better!

Finally, I've added some diamontes, wood veneer, flair and cheeseclothe.

This is so different to my normal creations but I love how it turned out.

--- Off the Rails Scrapbooking DT --- June challenge reveal "Keeper" Scrapbook Layout

Hi Scrap Friends

Today I'm sharing my page for the June moodboard challenge at
Off the Rails Scrapbooking

"Keeper"



This months inspiration board has so much to choose from.

I was immediately drawn to the sunglasses, so took that as my theme.
Digging through my photo stash, I discovered this photo of DH at the beach with his sunnies on - perfect.

My 2018 challenge is to bust my stash - so I picked an older collection that focused on the turquoise/blue theme.

I kept it fairly simple with lots of colour and just a little bit of distress ink in the background.

Thanks for visiting.
Happy Scrapping.

Scrap the Boys - March challenge entry

Hi Scrap Friends

Today I'm playing along with the challenge over at Scrap the Boys.

My layout "Bliss"

Each month I love to see all the challenge blogs and the new challenges.

This sketch really caught my eye so I got creating.

I gathered a few stash items and a series of photos. 

The green colours scheme developed because of the photos I chose.

   

Who doesn't love that new craft goodies feeling?

I'd just purchased this paper pad and the background with the arrows, worked so well for this layout.

It really turned out to be such a fun, easy page to complete.

And ... I did some stash busting too!

Thanks for visiting.

Happy Scrapping.

123 challenge blog March Scrapbook layout "Happy Memories"

Hi Scrap Friends

I've been enjoying some time in my craft space and have another layout to share

with you today, this time inspired by the March challenge at

123 Challenge Blog.

My Layout "Happy Memories"

The challenge was to use: 

As soon as I saw the inspiration, I had the perfect photo in mind.
At first, I didn't know what to do with the "Leaves" theme but decided to role with it.
I ended up using leaves in all different forms.
Some I inked through a stencil and fussy cut, some I inked on the page,
some were pre cut from a package, with a couple of wood veneer thrown in.

I had fun with this and created it in less than an hour (fast for me!)

Thanks for visiting.
