Scrap the Boys March Challenge - Scrapbook Layout "Dreamer"

Hi Scrap Friends

Today I'm sharing my layout for the March challenge over at

Scrap the Boys

My layout "Dreamer"

This month we were inspired by the below image.

I first decided to create a star background and used stamps with clear and sparkle embossing powders.

Then I used Colour Blast Shimmer Dust and water colour to create a background similar to the image.

I chose this photo of Master Z in the strangest sleeping position as it matched the "Dreamer" title which was inspired by the night time theme of the board.

I had such fun creating this layout and I love the result.

Thanks for visiting.

March Challenge Scrapbook Layouts - Posted on Facebook

Hello Scrappy Friends

Just visited my blog and realised how slack I've been.

It seems as though most of the scrappy challenges have moved over to Facebook.

I decided though that I would create a post dedicated to my scrappy creations each month.

--- A2Z Scraplets DT --- "Memory" Challenge page + process video

Hi Scrap Friends

Today I'm sharing a layout for A2Z Scraplets

Did you know that over in the Facebook group we have a monthly challenge.

Here is my inspiration page ...

My layout "Memory"

I just love the colours of this months moodboard and those butterflies = sigh!

I had a grid pattern in mind, so I gathered some project life cards, some 3x4 photos and a couple of chipboard pieces.

The Camera Squares are one of my fav chipboards - I love how it looks poking out of this cluster.

I've also used the Circle Set and some sweet Butterflies.

For the border, I've added some stripes with Distress Crayons and smudged them.
It needed a little something extra, so I also added some texture stamping.

Thanks for visiting.

Happy Scrapping. 

--- Scrapbook Boutique DT --- June Challenge Reveal "I am Lego Mad"

Hi Scrap Friends

It's challenge time over at Scrapbook Boutique.



We'd love to see your creations inspired by our  moodboard - .



Here is my layout "I am Lego Mad"

This moodboard is all about spots as inspiration.
With so many colours to choose from, I decided to go with one of my favs - yellow.
I did a little stash busting and found this paper from Simple Stories.
It doubles up on the dots with a few extra thrown in by using washi tape.

To complement the colours and the photo I've chosen I added elements from the Simple Stories "I Am" collection.

Here is the process video to see how I created this page ...

--- 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.

CSI Challenge Blog - May challenge Scrapbook Layout "Memories"

Hi Scrap Friends

Today I'm sharing a layout created for the challenge at
CSI Challenge Blog

"Memories"

The inspiration for this page comes from this board ....

As with the old style CSI challenge you are given some tasks. I decided to play along with these.

EVIDENCE

• stripes
• washi tape
• leaves/branches
• hand-drawn elements
• paint
• circles

TESTIMONY (JOURNALING IDEAS)

• Topic: Document something about your creative hobby.
• Presentation: Handwrite your journaling.
• Inspiration Words: creative

Looking through my printed photo stash, I found this one of my Lego house - a gift to myself at Christmas.

It got me thinking about creativity (inspiration word).

My journalling explains that in a house full of lego mad boys what else are you gonna do? Join Em'

I quite enjoy sitting down with a pile of lego and getting creative.

I used acrylic paint to make background stripes, hand drew some elements from the moodboard and chose paper and embellishments from the colour scheme.

I had such fun with this challenge and really like the resulting layout.

Thanks for visiting.

--- Off the Rails Scrapbooking DT --- April moodboard tutorial "Moments Captured" + process video

Hi Scrap Friends

Today I'm sharing my take on the challenge at Off the Rails Scrapbooking.
Our May moodboard  was quite challenging for me.

So when I can't find inspiration immediately, I like to break it down.

Looking at the moodboard, the first things I thought were colour - orange and yellow or fire.

I knew that somewhere in my stash I had these photos of my boys with a fire truck.

So I decided to go with photo inspiration and make a light, bright layout.

"Moments Captured"

I started with white cardstock and added some stamping.
Then I used Colour Blast Shimmer dust to make messy colour on the stamped images.

I raided my stash for some paper layers and focused on colours featured in the photos.

Here is the process video if you'd like to see me create this layout.

I love the final result and I hope I've inspired you to have a go at our moodboard.

Happy Crafting.

--- White with 1 CT --- May challenge reveal "Me 34"

Hi Scrap Friends

Today I'm sharing my page for the May challenge at
White ... with 1

It was definitely a challenge for me.
As someone who rarely uses pink, I had to really stretch my creativity with this layout.

"Me"

Don't you just love the pretty inspiration board this month.

I started by collecting some "pink"items from my stash.

I didn't want the layout to be too "pink" so I also chose some neutral whites and silver.

I decided that this was a good time to use a photo of myself.

New Hair = perfect for selfies.

It's hard to see (and photograph) but the background actually features delicious shimmery texture paste.

I also chose a white/silver patterned background for a little extra bling.

Thanks for visiting.

Can't wait to see your creations this month.

Happy Scrapping.

--- Scrapbook Boutique DT --- April challenge moodboard reveal "Christmas" layout + process video

Hi Scrap Friends

It's challenge time over at Scrapbook Boutique.



We'd love to see your creations inspired by our  moodboard - .


Monochrome + one colour.

Here is my layout "Christmas"

So, in thinking about monochrome + one colour I thought about my favourite - turquoise and then I thought yellow but we did a yellow challenge last month.
What's my next favourite colour "Red"!
And red is not a colour that I often scrap with.
It's also an awesome way to get some of my Christmas Memories recorded.

So for this page, I started with the recent Kaisercraft "Christmas Edition" collection - featuring a lovely neutral palette.
I've then coloured the background with Distress Crayons.
Looking back on the layout ... maybe I should have coloured the leaves "green" but I do like the pops of red.

Here is the process video to see how I created this page ...
