Sassy Scrappers October Mood Board - "Pink" supporting Breast Cancer

This month's mood board is very close to my heart, with both a family member and workmate experiencing breast cancer recently.

Best of all, Sassy Scrappers are donating $1.00 to Breast Cancer research for every mood board entry this month.

I don't often scrap with pink being that I have a house full of males but enjoyed making a more feminine layout of my husband and I from my 30th birthday celebrations at our local race day.

I was inspired to use ribbon, as the pink ribbon is a huge part of breast cancer fundraising.

Here is the mood board: 

Here is my layout "Love You"

Materials:

Merci "Antique" paper, Stampin Up "Regal Rose", Creative Memories Nancy O'Dell "Love Series", various ribbons, modelling paste, washi tape, silver tinsel embossing powder, Little Birdie flower and border, Kaisercraft flowers, Kaisercraft rhinestones, black ink

Scrap Around the World - October Mood Board

Such a pretty mood board from Scrap Around the World this month.

My inspiration this month was the butterfly, followed closely by the beautiful purple, blue and aqua colours. I don't often scrap photos of myself but as I thought of the caterpillar emerging as a butterfly, I wanted to dedicate this page to myself.

"Fly"

Materials:

Black cardstock, Creative Memories paper, modelling paste, Cricut cut stencil, Ruby Rock-it flower, Kaisercraft flowers and rhinestones, Little Birdie chalk butterflies, Kaiser "Violet" home made spray, Merci metallic leaves, Sequins

A Personal Share - Mixed Media layout

Every so often I start out with a layout that I feel very underwhelmed by. This layout has been sitting on my desk unfinished for over a week and I haven't felt drawn to finish it. I found myself with half an hour to spare so proceeded to revisit this particular LO. 

I'm not sure how, but it turned into something I'm actually quite proud of. The random layering is very unlike my normal style but I feel it actually works.

Materials:

Creative Memories papers & white cardstock, Modelling paste, home made Kaisercraft spray "Sea Breeze", washi tape, stamped accents, twine, Kaisercraft pocket stickers, black pen, buttons and Creative Memories stickers

The Scrapbook Boutique - September Challenge "Teddy"

While scouring google for challenge blogs I discovered The Scrapbook Boutique and the September Challenge appealed to me immediately. The colours were so cute.

I'm really happy with this layout. I was inspired by the circle tag and the blue twine and built my layout with the corresponding colours.

Once Upon A Sketch - September "Hiding"

I decided to play along at Once Upon a Sketch this month and used some of the new Kaisercraft "Mix & Match" range to inspire me. 

I managed to snap these super cute pics of my son Cooper on my phone before he lost interest and wandered off to play with something else. The blanket is pink so I used black and white photos to make it more masculine.

"My Little Indian" - A mixed media page

This page was my entry for our local scrap booking store's September monthly challenge. The last couple had been quite feminine and I asked the owner if she could do a more masculine paper so I could scrap my boys. It was great that she did, but I still found it quite challenging.

The supplies we were given were:

Paper - SEI: Seasoned "Taste Buds", blue cardstock, chipboard cogs and ribbon.

Additional Materials:

Gesso, plasterers tape, Adirondack Color Wash "Espresso", Modelling paste, Brown cardstock, Stampin Up "Soft Suede", Kaisercraft "Bow & Arrow" collectables, Buttons, Kaisercraft "December 25th" Jewels, Kaisercraft little letters, Creative Memories (CM) Sticker, Tim Holtz "Stars" stencil, Cricut & Close to my Heart (CTMH) Artiste Cartridge

Life.Paper.Scrapbook - August Sketch Challenge using Kaisercraft "Brothers"

I recently picked up the Kaisercraft Be-You-tiful range and I'm loving it at the moment.

The papers are almost so good you don't really need to add a lot. 

I decided to use them for the Life.Paper.Scrapbook August Sketch Challenge.

I love this photo of my boys hanging out in their dinosaur dressing gowns on a cold winter morning.

Materials:

Kaisercraft Be-YOU-tiful "Dazzling" & "Splendid", Creative Memories (CM) Seasons Grey chevron, Black ink, Gesso, Grey doillie, Washi tape, brown card stock and CM Stickers
