love you - Jot FEB mood board challenge


 Hello there!  I love the pinks and reds in this mood board for Jot Magazine - there's lots of fun elements to be inspired by.  I went with the flowers and colours and love theme ♥




   I've used a photo from our wedding anniversary last year and changed it to black + white so it would work well with the colour theme.


  
 I've used a mix of products from Pebbles Inc and Heidi Swapp.  The large numbers remind me of the 'light box look' in the mood board, so I've kept them white.   The 'love you' card has been coloured with some Colour Shine - Pink.
 
 I've made lots of layers with the papers and added in stickers from Heidi Swapp.


  
 I love how this page came together - such a fun challenge too!

be cool - White with 1 Feb challenge

 Hello, going well so far with creating ☺
The challenge at White with 1 for Feb is a great one for boys, with Blue Jeans as the colour!  There is also a sketch to use, which I've included in some of my design of this page.




 I love this cool photo of my youngest with our puppy Labrador - they have such fun together! 
I've gone thru my stash and found all things 'blue denim' to include on this page. 

 This piece of chipboard worked well in the sketch element and I've painted with some blue mist.
A few different shades of blue denim, including these cool letters in my stash which are by Simple Stories - denim alpha's - perfect!!

Our weather has taken a cool change, so it's perfect weather for tea drinking and crafting.  Til next time ........... ♥

love you - Prima Feb challenge

 Hello there!!  Starting this month off with the Prima challenge - I love the pretty pink mood board and all those flowers ☺  I dug into my small stash and got together some supplies and created this page!

 MIP challenge


 I changed this photo to black and white so it would easily go with the colour scheme.

 I always tend to go for a white background and keep some white space.  I don't often get the chance to use flowers on my pages, so I made sure to include lots!
 These Prima blooms are just lovely.  I've even used some card from packaging which I had kept.
These gold letters from my stash make the title and I've used some watercolour and Prima stamps in the background.

It was so good to scrapbook a photo again ..... it has been a little while.  I'm hoping that this post will keep me scrapbooking a few more challenges this February ♥

Til next time .......................... ♥

#cute - Jot Mood Board challenge

Hello there!!!!! It's certainly been a little while since I've scrapbooked!!!
I've been dabbling in a few new crafts and cleaning out my craft room!
It was kind of nice to just have a little break but I did miss the paper crafting and it felt good to scrapbook this page!
So here I have my page to share that I did for the Jot Mood Board challenge.
I got my inspiration from all the bright colours and the stripes.

Here's what I've come up with:
 I've picked up a lot on the pink, even though it is a boys page.  I loved this watercolour striped paper I had in my stash by Heidi Swapp. From there, I've just used some colourful Project Life cards and a few die-cut elements.
Here are a few close-up's:

 Rather than adding in journal work, I've done some word stamping with little expressions and sayings.  

 And I've added in the date with my 'numbers and months' stamp set.

Hopefully this page will get me in the creative mode again. 
Thanks for popping in ♥
