Scrap the Girls February Scrapbook Layout "Me"

This is my first layout for Scrap the Girls.
I've been hesitant to play previously as I live in a house full of boys!!
Buy hey, I'm a girl so why shouldn't I scrapbook pages of myself.

It was such a pretty mood board this month.


Visit Scrap the Girls here.

My layout was obviously inspired by the colour green but I paired it with some brown. I used a birthday selfie pic as I wore a green dress for my birthday. 



My 30th year was a big learning curve and I feel like going into my 31st year that I've learnt so much and that sometimes you have to trust your journey even if you don't understand it - hence the quote :)

Hope you like my layout and please feel free to leave a comment.


Materials:

Green cardstock, Adirondack "Espresso" colour wash, Kaisercraft "Blue Bay" papers, Scrap Matts chipboard border, Green Tara flower, Portacraft embossed stickers, Little Birdie flowers, sequins

White with 1 - February Scrapbook layout "Dream Big"

I love when the start of the month falls on a weekend so that when the scrapbooking challenges are released, I can get straight into my scrap room and start crafting.

Visit White with 1 here http://whitewith1.blogspot.com.au/


My layout "Dream Big"


As soon as I saw the colour, I had two ideas. One was to do an ombre colour background with spray and the other was to make it the background and overlay with a cutout.


This pic also shows the sparkly embossing that's also under the overlay. 

Materials for this project:
White cardstock, Jo Sonja's "Orange", embossing ink and powder, orange cardstock, white and orange felt floral runner, Kaisercraft Dream Big collectables, Flourish with a Bling flower, Kaisercraft flower, buttons, ribbon

My Creative Sketches January

Wow, January has really snuck out from under me. 
I've been totally slack with my challenges this month. 
Bring on February.

Managed to finish a quick take on the My Creative Sketches January sketch.

Layout "Trouble"

I attached the papers before applying a thin layer of gesso to give it a more muted look. Then I stitched around the papers - leaving the ends of the stitching on the layout.

I also wanted to do a boys layout without including a floral embellishment - harder than it sounds. 
I was super tempted to add some flowers. But overall I'm pretty happy with the layout.



Materials:

CM Paper, gesso, stitching, Cricut Artbooking & Boys will be boys, CM stickers, CM Cut outs, washi tape, plasterers tape, twine, Kaisercraft Mister Fox collections

D-Lish Scraps January Mood Board

I was instantly struck by the bright, vibrant colours of the D-Lish January mood board and picked out the perfect photo of Master C chomping down on his first "real" food.


I used the colours of the mood board and added some straws for dimension. I titled my page "Heart Fruit" in line with the Tutti Frutti theme.


Materials :

Echo Park "Hello Summer" paper, orange cardstock, Creative Memories "It's a Boy" paper, green patterned cardstock, Cricut "Artbooking" cartridge, American Thickers, Kaisercraft "Mister Fox" collectables, black pen
