Circle & Stars layout

Another challenge layout from the White With One cyber crop over the weekend.

Challenge 1 - use one colour plus two shapes.

So I chose an “Altantic” blue with Circles & Stars.

I can not believe the inspiration that smacked me in the face when I found a 10yr old packet of Heidi Swapp stars in my stash..

Then adding a fun blue & silver star pattern paper from Kaisercraft set this up perfectly.

I used Silver as the additional element to tie it all together (bit like how we normally use Black or White)…

Adding in the stencil circles on the base, punched out different size half circles on the blue pp and then diecut both white & silver circle bubble clusters for more flat dimensional texture. A very quick & easy layout that was actually quite a pleasure to put together and it flowed so well. Yay!

Pink Rectange - double window shaker layout

 Thanks so much to the White with One challenge group, I have always loved their unique challenge themes and got excited by the simplicity of the challenges from their Cyber crop from March.

Challenge 1 - white with one colour + 1 shape.

I chose to use PINK & RECTANGLES.

I wanted to share this layout with you as it’s an interactive design with 2 double sided shaker window fronts that open up to another layout with more photo opportunities too.

A few of the elements I added for the rectangle effect - I created my own stencil from scrap pieces to use for the blending. Drew on some more rectangles to trick the eye into a flat 3 dimensional idea too.

Very minimal products to create this layout - 2 white cardstock + 2 photo mats from scraps, 2 A4 Acetate pieces and shaker elements, 1 & half pattern paper (kaisercraft Sunkissed collection), 1 pink cardstock, half a glitter cardstock piece plus flowers and chipboard to cluster.

I haven’t seen anything like this specifically done before, but it was pretty easy to put together once I got my “it’s 12:30am and can’t sleep” ideas fitting together.

PRO TIP - do not push down on chipboard with hot glue on the back if there are gaps in the design.. It burns and hurts!

White with Yellow - Bee layout

 I'm playing a bit of catch up at the moment on my blog.. SORRY!

During August the challenge over on White with One challenge blog was YELLOW.. 
So I grabbed out this cute "Sweet As Honey" collection from PhotoPlay, some gold glitter cardstock and bee themed chipboard..

Into the sky (white with peacock) layout

 

During the White With One online challenge crop I was able to particate in one of their themed challenges. 

To use white plus one colour and something to do with the sky. 

So of course, what's better than this fabulous photo of my boys spray painting scrapbook layout bases (and other projects) for me. I used "Peacock" as the colour which highlighted the colour perfectly with the Craft OClock space collection, basic chipboard elements and paper cuts from Scrapbook Fantasies.

Sunflower 3 window shaker layout

Sunflower 3 window shaker layout

WHITE WITH 1

One of my old DT challenge groups held a cyber crop over the weekend. They are holding the challenges open all week for anyone that wishes to join in.

Here is my entry into challenge 3. It's a TicTacToe based theme. I actually completed a cross with - Twine / Earth / Flowers + Wood Veneer / Earth / Stencil background.

Of course I used my fav foliage stencil for the base and added a 3 window shaker.

Unfortunately, I'm not totally in love with this finished layout. I struggled to get a flow going, so will definitely have another go of the winder shaker idea in the future.

Between losing tools, housework, school run, shopping, errands, parent / teacher interviews & cooking dinner. This took me HOURS! Which of course we all know disturbs the flow for me..

If I can't get a layout done in a hour or so, I usually just toss it..

Anyway, yellow might seem an odd choice for an Earth colour theme, but I wanted to put my own spin on it. This photo of a friend in the Sunflower fields near by (entered with safety, respect & permission) gave me such a feeling of joy & creativeness that I wanted to capture. The Yellow delights that nature deliver us like Flowers, Birds, Bees, Fruit & so much more definitely should be celebrated!

Multi circle layered “Koala” layout

Multi circle layered "Koala" layout featuring a beautiful and soft photo of my youngest boy Hunter, Australia Day 2021 at the Australia Zoo.

 WHITE WITH 1 - Earth Cyber Crop (March 2022)

Challenge 2- White with Green + Leaves / Trees + use Fibres of some sort.

Yes, I really did fussy cut all of these.. ekk.

It took about 45min to do the whole sheet.

Then I also inked the edges.

Didn't end up using all of them on the layout shared eariler, so have saved them for another project.

Plenty of foam tape used on the layers for this one.

I started out wanting to use a circle on top with the leaves popping out from underneath, but then I found the white wood paper and everything changed.. lol.

Like usual, I wing the changes and so happy as it turned out way better than I originally planned!

Leaves are fussy cut - Craft O'Clock.

Rubons & Green pp - 49 & Market.

Flowers - Kaiser

White wood pattern paper - Lemoncraft

Stencil - Carta Bella

I used this very simple circle cutter tool to cut out the circle layers.

WHITE WITH 1

One of my old DT challenge groups held a Cyber Crop over the weekend.. I thought I'd join in, as I love the EARTH theme.

My challenge 1 entry - I have been wanting to use this paint technique for quite a while now when I saw it used as a rainbow. So thought, what better chance than now with some beautiful Burnt Sienna & Raw Sienna for this Earth Brown base.

I started the layout with a white cardstock base, then added the paint with dots in the middle of the page. Then with foam brushes I simply spread the paint from the inside out. Leaving gaps for the white to peek through between each paint stripe. 

Once the paint was dry, I added some white spray mist generously over the top. 

The TIP is for the paint to be dry first!!! 

You may wonder what the photo has to do with criteria 2 - exploring the outdoors, here we are in Sapphire at the Gem Fields (outback central Qld). Hunter is actually sitting on a mound of waste dirt that had been sifted through to find precious Gems.

It was an incredible experience and lucky to capture so many feature photos while we were on holidays there.

I have truly been absolutely BLOWN AWAY by the amazing positive feedback I have received from sharing this layout.. It was made back in March and it has been ongoing and such lovely comments.. 

I have been so impressed with all of the SCRAPLIFT pages that others have done based on my layout.. It's very cool.. :)
