~ where my Art meets my Heart ~
You know what I love most about the Scrap The Girls challenges? It’s that they are just that – a challenge! I love that I am forced to completely either think outside of the box OR go to a place I would never have gone to get inspiration! This month is no different – check it out:
Confused???? The challenge is to scrap about your hangover – it can be anything! Here’s what I did:
My hangover is this little miss – either her sugar rush or her coming down from a sugar rush!!! Some close ups:
We have a nice and easy challenge for you this month at White.. with 1! Simple, classic… black & white!
Here’s my layout for this month:
And some close ups:
This will be my last layout created for Sketchy Boards, sadly. My life is just becoming increasingly busy as of late! Here is the mood board for November:
And the layout I created:

Debbi has sourced the most adorable inspiration image for you for our mid-month reveal at CSI:
And this is how I solved the case:
I used a lime and a dark green, red, greenish-yellow and some chocolate brown.
I was inspired by the woodgrain, the musical elements, the triangles and I used some chippies that reminded me of the overall feel of the clover (in terms of the long stems). I also used strips of paper in my layering – much like the piano keys.
Those gorgeous chipboard pieces are from 2Crafty Chipboard.
Here are some more images:
I just love this image that Debbi has presented for the September Cold Case File.
Here is what I created:
So I ran with the birthday theme; this picture was taken of my daughter at her birthday this year.
I used mainly pastels – shades of teal, blue, green and pink, with a few hints of coral / apricot. I was further inspired by the butterflies and the smaller elements ‘dotted’ around on the inspiration image. I added some flowers and some leaves. My gorgeous chipboard pieces are all from 2 Crafty chipboard – aren’t they divine?
Here are some more pics:
Our first challenge for September at CSI: Color Stories Inspriration, carries with it a bit of a ‘technology’ theme – check it out:
And here is the layout I created for this case:
I used black, white, red, yellow and blue. I went with a school theme and scrapped a photo of my child’s Grade 3 school photo. As inspiration from the image, I added a rounded corner frame, some ledger style papers and also paper with a grid pattern. You will also see some geometric shapes amongst my layering.
My journalling is based on a school theme.
I’m “that” mom who will order every single school or class photograph ever taken – and this is the most recent one, taken a little earlier this year. I love the enthusiastic smile on my child’s face; and I can only hope that her love for school lasts!
Here are a few close ups:
Our September challenge at White.. with 1 is a bit different… more like White.. with 7 – or, anything goes!
Cool, right!? Here’s what I created:
We’ve a lovely sketch up this month at Scrap The Girls:
How fab is this sketch??? Here’s my creation:
I am up on the 2 Crafty Chipboard blog today, sharing a layout I created of a little ‘adventure’ we went on at the beginning of this year. Head to their blog to see more details of this piece – and also to find the direct links to these amazing chippie pieces that I have used:
Our August Cold Case file at CSI: Color Stories Inspiration has gone live; and it’s another beaut!
I immediately thought of this image as one of birthdays and / or milestones. And seeing as how my daughter has recently celebrated her 9th birthday, I went ahead and took total advantage of that theme! Here’s what I created:
I used most of the colours in the inspiration image for this one.
I used a number as part of my title and sentiment. This photograph is of my daughter just before her birthday party started. Inspiration I drew from the image was polka dots, birthday elements, and a grid design.
Here are a few more images taken of my layout:
