White with.....Toffee Crunch

It's a brand new month and that  means a new colour challenge at White with 1. This month the colour of choice is Toffee Crunch (doesn't it sound delicious).

An added bonus we get a sketch to work with from Page Maps

I stuck very closely to the sketch. It takes all the guess work out of it.

I decided to go with an outdoorsy theme to scrap these pics of my little guy and my sister's puppy exploring while we set up camp.

The wood veneer frame is from Amy Tangerine and the leaves are from Kaisercraft.

The cute little tabs and word strips are from Flutterby Designs.

I hope you play along with us this month at White with 1.

Happy scrapping

SBT50 Australia Feb Challenge

Eek how is it the end of February today already...

I am sneaking in some last minute challenge entries. The first one is this awesome inspiration piece from Scrapbooking Top 50 Australia.

I have used the Cocoa Vanilla Wild at Heart Collection. I added some splatters of Gold Colour Shine from Heidi Swapp and a few random enamel dots. The Love title comes from some Thickers from I think an Amy Tangerine collection.

The floral diecuts in this collection were just perfect and I fussy cut more florals from one of the gorgeous papers.

Love the look on my little guy's face.

I also added in some diecut flowers and leaves in white for some subtle texture.

I was really pleased with how this page turned out.

Good Times - Scrapbooking Top 50

Hi there,

I am sharing the page I created for the Scrapbooking Top 50 Australia Challenge for January.

I started with a sheet of Marshmallow heavyweight cardstock that I had previously splattered black paint on. I have a folder of random background I have started that I try and dig into.

Next step was to finally christen  my el cheapo set of watercolours from Big W.  I loved the effect and will be playing with these again soon.

I added some black washi tapes and diecuts from an old Hip Kit that featured lots of Amy Tan. The watercolour look of the diecuts was perfect.

I also used two flair badges from Funky Flair Studio layered on some messy black thread.

  My final step was matting the layout on black and then adding some stitching around the edges.

I love these pics of my Mum with two of her grandies. Special memories from our trip to Pokolbin last year.

Stuck?! Jan 2018 - Photographer

Hey there,

I am playing along with the Stuck?! Challenge this month.

The first sketch of the month was this beauty

Such a fun sketch. And here is my interpretation.

I loved the strip of four photographs and felt like it would be perfect for telling the story of my littlest guy Sam and his love for my big camera.

I dug deep into my stash to pull out the Simple Stories Hello Summer collection that I am determined to finish (still love those gorgeous bright colours with the dark woodgrain).

Finished off with a Flair button from Funky Flair Studio and some camera wood veneers from Amy Tan and Studio Calico.

White with 1 - January 2018

I am so excited to share my first Design Team layout for White with 1.

The January challenge is a mood board featuring the gorgeous Blue Bayou colour.

I was inspired by the stripes and the washed out blue on the pots.

I started with a white-washed woodgrain patterned paper from Kaisercraft. 

I added some misting with Heidi Swapp Colour Shine in Navy and then stencilled over the top with texture paste. I added a little more mist and some extra stencilling with an alphabet stencil from

Kaisercraft.

It was looking a little too blue for my liking so I added some splatters of Studio Calico mist in white.

I cut down my background piece slightly before mounting it onto blue cardstock and adding some machine stitching for extra texture and to help frame the layout. I love to rough up the edges of my papers with a distress tool (or my fingernails) for extra interest.

This was a real stash busting layout. I keep my random embellishments, flowers etc in plastic containers sorted by colour, so I grabbed out my blue and white containers and started pulling embellishments I thought would work with this cute photo of Sam with my hubby and myself at his presentation day.

In the mix I have added:

* hand dyed crochet doilies

* cut apart phrases from Flutterby Designs

* flair badge from Funky Flair Studio

* tile word phrase from Lil Davis Designs (am I the only one still holding on to some of these??)

* number sheet from Collections

* diecuts from the Indigo Skies collection from Kaisercraft

* puffy camera sticker from Amy Tangerine

* miscellaneous flowers (the denim one is divine)

* my all time favourite newsprint tags from American Crafts

* and last but not least a white doily.

I added my title with white foam thickers from American Crafts and added my journaling with typed strips. I am lucky enough to have been given an ancient typewriter from my Great Uncle. It is awesome but I will quickly have to figure out where I can get replacement ribbons. Any tips please let know in the comments.

I hope you will play along with us this month at White with 1.

Can't wait to see what you create.
