White ... with 1, May

Hello to another new month!

A new month means a new colour over at White ... with 1. And it is the beautiful GERBERA PETAL - love, love, love this colour.

Isn't this beautiful? And if that is not enough to tempt you, how about this gorgeous mood board?

  
And here is my take on this month's challenge:

This is my gorgeous niece. I have sprayed the background with some Lindy's Stamp Gang ink and then stamped the background. I then used various layers of paper and flowers to finish this off. There is an overlay on the photo.

Hope that this colour has your creative juices flowing - would love to see your layout up on the White ... with 1 blog :)

Happy scrapping,
Michelle 

White ... with 1 - April 2018

Happy Easter everyone! And of course the 1st of the month means a new colour over over at White with 1 :) - and this month is the delicious TOFFEE CRUNCH .... yum!!!

And this month White ... with 1 team have also provided a sketch to get those creative juices flowing (the sketch is entirely optional to you):

And here is my take on the challenge

I have used dies to cut the frames and used a stamp for the back ground. I sprayed the back ground with ink and then wiped it with a wet wipe to give it that wiped effect.

Hope to see your take on the challenge up on the White ... with 1 blog :)

Cheers,
M

Hello there again

And welcome to another installment for Let's Get Sketchy - brand new month means brand new sketch . Pop on over to the Let's Get Sketchy blog and check out the details for the new challenge. Here is the sketch to get you all inspired:

 This month, Let's Get Sketchy have also added this lovely mood board for more inspiration - I really love these colours

And here is my take on the challenge - I decided to be a little different and just slant the photo a little with still keeping the sketch n mind:

My inspiration off the mood board was the greens and the oranges - as well as the leaves and the wooden shelf. Come play along with us at Let's Get Sketchy - would love to see your take on this lovely sketch and mood board :)

I will be back in the middle of March with the next exciting sketch from Let's Get Sketchy :)

White ... with 1 - March 2018 Challenge

Hello there!

And just like that it's March and here in New Zealand that means it's officially day 1 of autumn .... but of course the 1st of the month is a new challenge over at White ... with 1.  It's a really great and fresh colour this month .... CRISPY LETTUCE. 
Along with our colour this month, White with 1 have provided an additional mood board, which inspired the design team to come up with their gorgeous ideas. 

 Does that look so fresh and inspiring?

I took inspiration from all the aspects of the mood board, the frog being the theme of my layout and the butterfly and the lettuce leaves as my decorative approach:

 Here is my take on the mood board and the colour of the month. This is my youngest niece, dressed up as a frog. I am not sure what the occassion was that she had to dress up for ... but she is super cute!
I started off using a thick textured paste and mixed it with ink and spread it on my background for texture. Next I used leaves and butterflies from the Mintay range of papers and fussy cut these and layered these on the layout. 

Come and play along with us at White ... with 1 - hope to see you there!

Let's Get Sketchy - 15 Feb Challenge

Hello again!

And here we are again - the middle of the month and yes you guessed it - Let's Get Sketchy mid-month challenge is up on their blog. Here is the sketch for 15 Feb 2018:

And here is my take on the sketch:

Photo booths tend to be the in thing at parties today - so of course I couldnt resist scrapping these lovely photos of the girls having some fun with some of the props for the photos. Think they are super cool!

I have used paper from the Freckled Fawn range. I think I have had this in my stash for a wee while now, and it is actually part of a Christmas Range (hehehe!).

Pop on over to the Let's Get Sketchy blog and have a look at the wonderful interpretations of the sketch by the rest of design team. I love how one sketch can be produce so many different layouts!

Hope to see your layout up on the blog!

Bye for now,
M

I love how everyone interprets the sketches and the layouts created - wow! Well without further ado - here is the sketch for 1 Feb:

White with 1 - February reveal

Hello all

Not sure what happened to January - it went so fast, and suddenly it is February - phew!
Really does seem to get faster as one ages, or is it better to say that time flies when you are having fun? I think  I prefer the latter!

Of course with the new month, means a new challenge over at White ... with 1 ... and this month is the gorgeous SIZZLING PINK 

Pretty, pretty!

And if that colour is not enough to tempt you, White with 1 has also included a sketch

The sketch is of course entirely optional!

So here is my layout for the month using the sketch:

This colour was so perfect for my daughters last year at school formal ball - matched perfectly. And so did her finger nails and I just love this photo.

I have sprayed some pink ink in the background, and used some of my project life cards for the background. There is also some chippie in there which I have coloured with pink ink. 

I just love what the rest of the team have put together too - pop on over to the White .. with 1 blog and have a look. 

I look forward to seeing your amazing creations up on the blog this month ...
