Happy Thursday scrappy people! I am stopping by very quickly to post my Hump Day challenge layout from the Victoria Marie FB Group. I am very excited to be on her very first Challenge Team starting in June!! (more about that soon!).
This Wednesday's challenge was a sketch (and there is a BONUS sketch for PL which I hope to also use after I get my butt in gear and order the last 6 weeks of photos!!)
Here is my layout and a couple close ups AND a process video (done very quickly with no editing):
(FYI, I ended up making 1 change to this layout after I posted the video. All I did was move the middle layout OVER the pp with the muffins on it. You can still see a couple rows of muffins but not so much. I like it a LOT better now).
Hey everyone, today I have a layout (and video!) of a layout I did this week that had no photo. This is not something I do (like ever!) but, as you will see if you watch the video, there is a reason I didn't have a photo. But I still wanted a way to capture this.
This layout ended up being my submission for 3 different challenges. The first was a tool challenge which was a weekend fun challenge over on the Victoria Marie FB page (here is her blog). THEN, I saw the "3 to inspire" on Citrus Twist (HERE) which was to use circles, enamel dots and stickers. And then after I had already punched out what felt like a million circles... the Victoria Marie weekend challenge for this past weekend was circles. SCORE!!
I thought using my punches to cut circles would be a great way to use up the scraps of patterned paper I had left from my March and April kits and it pretty much used them all up. I had just tiny bits left that either went into the recycling or into my pp scrap files.
I saw a layout by Nicole Nowosad done for SCT magazine for NSD and went from there. So a shout out to her for the idea (HERE)
So, enough of me talking... here is the layout, close ups and video.
Happy Thursday and I am here to share my most recent Project Life spread. I am slowly doing a catch up but... seriously I need to hurry up and catch up as I think I am not farther behind. I might need to start doing 1 recent and 1 behind layout at a time and meet in the middle :)
Here is the layout itself:
And I don't usually do close up of each card but here are a few. I used the Sketch Class that Citrus Twist did and for each sketch you use and add to the gallery you are entered for a monthly draw. I have NEVER used a sketch for my PL before but numerous times in the class the contributors did so I thought, hey, I should give it a go and ended up using 5!!!
Sorry, no video this time! My phone was almost out of battery last night and my cord won't reach when it is on my recording clamp. Next time!
Well, this past weekend was AWESOME and I found I wanted to play everywhere and just couldn't. So I mostly used the challenges over at Hip Kit FB forum and with some inspiration from Pinkfresh Studio's challenges (which I had hoped to do more of, maybe still might make it as I have til Saturday). I also was playing along with the super fun ladies at Victoria Marie FB group in the challenge to get 10 layouts done over the weekend. I managed to get 8 layouts done in all:
This layout was inspired by a challenge to use dimension in your layout but also a Pinkfresh challenge of using gold, aqua and pink. That background paper was my starting point.
This challenge was an idea I got when I saw a challenge on the PinkFresh/Winnie & Walter NSD to make your own background. I used watercolours to mimic the water in this AMAZING photo.
This layout is pretty simple and was a symmetrical challenge, how do you translate symmetry? For me it was using the colours in the photos in the background and ensuring when a colour was not present that I added it (ie yellow and blue to the green pp).
This was a black and white challenge. To use a B&W photo and ONLY neutral embellishments and then a hit of colour. I love it. I did the background with a stencil and some citron Color Shine.
This was my OLW for Apr and a balanced challenge.
This was a pastel colour challenge.
This challenge was to use just one colour to add contract to a B&W layout.
HI everyone! I started my YouTube channel just this year and decided when I hit 500 subscribers I would host a giveaway. I hit that last weekend and so here it is.
Here are the rules:
Scraplift me!! Find a layout of mine that I have posted a process video of (12x12 or Project Life) and use ANY aspect of it to create your own. And I do mean anything!! Straight scraplift, colour, title, orientation, whatever.
Post a link to your creation in the comments for my 500 subscribers video (the one above) and tell me which layout you lifted. (Sorry but posting it anywhere else and I will not count it. It is far too hard to keep track.)
Deadline to enter is JUNE 1ST!!
Open to internationals and the prize is international friendly!!
What is the prize???
Glad you asked :) It is a $50 gift certificate to Mei Li Paperie store!! This is no coincidence that they ship internationally and that at $50 USD (which is what the card will be) they offer free shipping. I don't want you, my winner, to have to pay for shipping your new goodies.
