*** Mystical Scrapbook DT *** August Challenge reveal 12 x 12 Sketch challenge

Hi Crafters

How is it the start of month already?

Today I'm sharing a new challenge for Mystical Scrapbooks 

This month we are focusing on sketches with a side of chipboard.

"Love this Moment"

I've designed this layout and then given you this sketch to use as you are inspired.

For this layout I've been playing with 

Uniquely Creative "Choose your own adventure" collection

I also needed some colour in the background ... so I pulled out watercolours

To embellish I've used lots of Cocoa Vanilla Studio "Legendary"

and topped it off with some CVS Flair buttons

For the title I've used the Love this Moment chipboard and treated it with acrylic paint and embossing powder.

I'm looking forward to seeing your sketch inspired layouts.

Have fun creating!

Hi Scrap Friends

Today I'm sharing my first Feb layout.

I decided to play along with White ... with 1

I seriously love red!

But I hardly ever scrap with it. I find it very difficult to make a beautiful page so ...

thank you for the challenge.

I've followed the sketch for this page.

With thanks to Laura Rahel Crosby for the pinwheel inspiration.

I even made a short process video for this layout.

--- White ... with 1 CT --- October challenge reveal "Trouble x 2" Scrapbook layout

Hi Scrap Friends

Welcome to the October challenge at White ... with 1

Here is my inspiration layout "Trouble x 2"

This month we have a fun easy to use sketch.

Each month when I prepare the WW1 challenge, I start by raiding my stash for anything that matches the colour. 

Then it becomes a challenge to find a suitable photo.

Thankfully I found this one from when my boys where less than twelve months and knew that it would work so well with this months colour.

It's always going to be trouble when it's quiet and this was what I found ...
My two boys pulling all the tissues out of the box!!!

I had fun with paste and washi tape for the background and embellished with my photo cluster.

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.

--- White with 1 CT --- February Colour "Sizzling Pink" Scrapbook layout boys page

Hi Crafters

Today I'm sharing my layout for the February challenge at
White ... with 1

"Hello"

Wow, what a colour this month!!!!

I really wanted to challenge myself with this one. 

I could have done a page of myself but what's the fun in that.

So I dug through the photo stash and found this photo of Master Z wearing my pink bed socks - Perfect!!!

With choosing the photo out of the way, I started to dig through my stash for anything pink.

I found the sparkly tags and some paper and embellishments.

I decided to add the black washi and the black splatters to sort of "UnPink" (?!?) the page.

I really like the simplicity but striking background of this page and the challenge of stretching my creativity.

Seriously looking forward to seeing your creations this month.

Happy crafting.

123 Challenge Blog December Scrapbook Layout "Together"

Hi Scrap Friends

Today I'm sharing a layout created for the December challenge at

123 Challenge blog.

My page "Together"

The sketch has a real Christmas feel but I really took my inspiration from the colours.

I spent a bit of time stash busting to put this page together. Lots of elements from my all time favourite collection Simple Stories "Life in Color".



My background is painted on with Colour Blast shimmer dust in "Candy"

Mostly I left this page really simple to allow the photo (one of my favs) to really shine.

Thanks for visiting.
Happy Scrapping.

Show us your stuff December challenge - Scrapbook Layout "Happy"

Hi Scrap Friends

Today I'm sharing my page for the December challenge at 

Show us your stuff

"Happy"

My hand made item is the flair from "Just add flair"

I am seriously loving this collection from DCWV.
You can find it here in the Scrapbook Boutique store.

I've flipped the sketch to suit this paper - cactus are not really my thing but I quite like the final result of this page.

I've done some fussy cutting as this collection doesn't have any die cuts or stickers ...

really made me think a little hard about the papers available to me.

For the background you'll find Colour Blast Shimmer spray "Envy", some stitching, stamping and sequins to finish.

Thanks for visiting.
Happy Scrapping.
