Sarah - Winter moodboard challenge

Hello crafty friends, Sarah here with a project idea inspired by the Winter Moodboard Challenge. Let's take another look at the moodboard;

For this project, I created some gel printed stickers with purples as a primary focus. Using my gel plate (if you havent seen these in action, please take a look at the Gel Press youtube channel or Facebook page).

Once printed, I further embellished the sticker sheet with Posca paint pens for mark making and stamping with black ink. I then cut the sticker sheet in to rectangles to fit the Big Happy Planner spaces and some circles for page decoration.

I am using my Me and My Big Ideas (MAMBI) planner for memory keeping - this is a great way to capture our everyday life along with some journalling of what's happening at the time - this may be our favorite meals to cook, activities happening at school or just every day life. It's alot of fun and compliments my scrapbook layouts of my favorite photos.

I hope you enjoyed this and why not give creating your own stickers a go!

Amy- Winter Moodboard- Snuggles with Indie

Hey Scrappin Fun Peeps,

I am back today with a chilly challenge for you, the Scrapping Fun Winter moodboard challenge - have you checked it out yet? If not here it is for you

For me I went with the colours and overall 'feel' of the mood board of snuggles and warmth when I created my layout. So I started with some different coloured purple gelatos and smooshed them onto some packaging, added some water and then just brush painted them across the right side of my page.
I layered my photos using some of the pastel green coloured patterned papers from the June kits and placed them to the left of my page, as in the photos my son is looking across to the right. I then tried choosing embellishments that were purple or then some of the pastel type colours in the left bottom box in the mood board. To balance out the colour palette I also picked some black and white pieces from the 'Case of the blahs' collection by Pink Fresh Studio (added bonus is that these have a home kind of tone to them).

I didn't add lots of big embellishments as the photos and the mixed media were 'big' enough for the layout, so the embellishments were to tie in the colours and theme of the mood board in small and subtle ways.

I did at first think this would be a bit of a challenge, but in the end found this mood board to be quite easy enough to complete, so jump in and give it a go!
I will have a video up on my channel this week for it so be sure to keep an eye out in the inspiration group for it.

Until next time
Happy scrappin
Ames

Coralee ~ Spring Mood Board Challenge

Hello again Scrapbooking friends! I'm pretty excited to share my Mood Board Challenge layout with you all today. If you aren't familiar with this challenge you can read about it HERE. Make sure you enter for the chance to win a kit credit!

For this challenge I decided to do a travellers notebook layout. I was drawn to the pinks and greens, and of course the flowers! So some things from my mums stash were used while I was visting the family at the beginning of the month.

Something I have really loved while browsing Travellers Notebook layouts is having the patterned paper on one side and white on the other. Something about it is really aesthetically pleasing to me. So I went ahead and used this pretty floral paper on the left. 

I then layered some card stock behind the photo of my daughter. I tried using just 1 piece of card stock but it didn't look right. Layering also meant that I could tie in all the colours I was using even more. 

For the spotted flags and strips I used some washi on white card stock. This makes the design more opaque and easier to work with (easier to cut a triangle out, move around etc). Some scraps of the card stock, gold circle stickers and journal-ling and I was practically done! The last finishing touch was the date which I used the stamp in the basic kit for.

Once I was finished I realised there was a little mark in the top right area of the page, so popping the smile tag over it was a simple fix that also added to the page.

I hope you enjoyed my Mood Board Layout and I am looking forward to seeing your entries!

Traveler's Notebook Layout -- October Moodboard

When I challenge myself with a moodboard challenge I look at it and think about what stands out to me - something that I can relate to.

So as you read this have a look at Scrapping Fun Kits Spring Moodboard

and think about what resonates with you. Use this to start the creativity flowing and end up with a great layout (whatever format it is).

So what do I see, you might ask.......

I seen yellow and purple flowers that light and airy like spring blossoms, and a beautiful bird. 

So with that in mind I set out searching my stash, I wanted a bird stamp (and I thought I would have one seeing as I have plenty). I couldn't find a bird stamp but did find a few flower stamp sets.

I settled on one stamp (from one of the reject shop's collection) and cut off the leave so that it stamped just the flower and stem part. This reminded me of the lower right hand side photo - the long stems and little delicate flowers at the ends.

I then used the colours to guide my ink choices and went to town stamping the flowers - overlapping them and trying to spread out the colours to cover the bottom half of the traveler's notebook insert page. I didn't stamp the flowers in straight line instead making it more random and realistic (in case didn't know flowers don't often grow in straight lines and rows hehe).

Seeing as the other thing I was drawn to when looking at the moodboard was the bird, I set out to add it to this layout.  I didn't want to ruin the flowers or the paper, as I was going to experiment with freehand drawing and watercolour pencils. So I grabbed some scrap paper and started drawing with a pencil. Simplistic bird was all I could muster, and once I was happy I traced over it with black sharpie pen.

I used similar colours to colour in the bird, using water colour pencils and water brush.  I did make a bird I wasn't happy with the colours and then made a second one.

I used a glue stick to stick down the bird and then twiddle and tapped my fingers trying to decide what else to add to the layout as it was a bit bare.

I started doodling a border with the pencils (not using water this time), carrying over the colour scheme to tie in the whole layout.

I then, somehow plucked the idea out of thin air, to draw a box next to the bird. Pinterest was searched for a "bird quote" to add to this box.

finished the layout off with stamped hearts and the word October, I did mis-stamp some hearts near the October and covered the mistake with tiny word stickers (i.e. our best friend hehe).

Here is the completed Traveler's Notebook.

Let me know what you think of my TN layout, and also what you think about when look at our moodboard. 

Share your layout on the scrapping fun kits Facebook page, so we can all be inspired.

Raelene - Spring Moodboard - Lily

I created this layout for the Scrapping Fun Kits Bi-monthly Moodboard Challenge using my one of the Concept Kits I created when I first had the idea for a TN Kit and bits from my September Embellishment Kit.

It came together quickly and was a lot of fun to create.
The lemon and peach paper from the September Kit worked really well with the other bits from my concept kit.
I trimmed the paper so I had a small strip on the right hand page to carry the layout onto that page.

The tag behind the photo is not stuck down so I can add more to it and use it as a pull out if I need to.
It helped the pink/peach colour from the background paper pop a bit more.

This gorgeous thin script washi spread over the 2 pages helped pull the 2 pages together.
I also added this floral vellum sticker to the bottom spread over the 2 pages that matches the circle floral sticker at the top on the right with the washi to help pull it all together.








I am loving how quick and simple scrapping in a TN is, it is a great fun way to create and I look forward to having a more portable option to take with me on the tilt train than what I did last year.



I have created a Pinterest board full of TN Scrapping Layouts, so if you would like more inspiration why not check it out, this type of scrapping I am finding is a great option for the time poor scrapper like myself.
