White with 1 - March Challenge

It's time for a new challenge at White with 1 and this month extra colour is pink.

   

Well pink just had to be a granddaughter page!

The photo was taken on her birthday just before Christmas and she adored all the sparkly lights and baubles - especially the pink ones! 

I've used lots of flowers to pick up on the roses, the title position to reflect the straw, and fluffy pink stencilling for the candyfloss and milkshake.

The stencil is Geo Flowers from Funky Fossil and the papers are from Polkadoodles Butterfly Daisy.

Supplies:
Papers: Polkadoodles, Butterfly Daisy
Stencil: Funky Fossil, Geo Flowers
Ink: SU, pink pirouette
Punch: Woodware, leaf; Flowers unknown
Title: Pink Fresh Studio, Just a Little Lovely
Enamel dots: Echo Park, I'd rather be crafting instead
Stickers: Paperchase, puffy hearts; Elle's Studio, puffy hearts

Thanks so much for looking today, it's been fabulous to share some of your time.

And keep crafting!

White with 1 - February Challenge

I'm back again today with my DT scrapbook page for the new challenge at White with 1.

   

This month as well as the colour there is also a sketch to follow.

I created a border pattern using a stencil from Funky Fossil and blended two colours of ink to get the correct colour. I then added the white background, placed the photos and started adding the embellishment clusters.

I cut up some of the word stickers to make them fit and also chopped off some words to get the phrase I wanted. I used faux stitching on my layout, both die cut and hand drawn.

Supplies:
Papers: Graphic 45 Flutter Collection; SU, Feels Like Frost
Stencil: Funky Fossil, Crackle Background
Inks: SU, pacific point; Ranger distress, blueprint sketch
Dies: Lawn Fawn, Mr Louie's ABCs; Xcut, spiro circles; MFT Die-namics, double stitched rectangles
Embellishments: MME enamel dots, Necessities
Stickers: Simple Stories, Summer Vibes; Bella Blvd, Secrets of the Sea; Doodlebug Designs Inc, Dragons Tails; Tim Holtz Idea-ology, Small Talk; Elle's Studio, puffy hearts

Thanks so much for visiting my blog today. I hope to see your pages popping up in the white with 1 facebook group - HERE.   And more info about the challenge - HERE.

And keep crafting!

White with 1 - January Challenge

WooHoo!

 How fun to have you visit today for my first post as a DT member at White With 1 scrapbook challenge.

  

Love this misty mountain grey combined with the white and lots of interesting textures in the photo prompts.

I picked up on the wool by using a Funky Fossil knitted background stencil, the straws with the striped paper strip and used wood grain squares behind the photo. I was a bit stuck for the stones but I think my enamel hearts sort of echo their look. And of course there is no obligation to use the photo prompts, i just like to challenge myself!

 

I didn't have enough upper case letters to spell out the horse's name, so substituted with some lower case letters. Why are the letters you need always missing from sets?!!

Did you spot the quilt in the photo background? I'm proud to say that I sewed it and love how it looks in her room.

Supplies:
Papers: AC, Crate Paper Sunny Days; SU, woodgrain; scraps from my stash
Stencil: Funky Fossil, Knitted Background
Ink: SU, smoky slate
Alphas: Freckled Fawn, puffy alphabet; Lilybeedesign, ABC stickers; Echo Park, Winter Park
Stickers: Jillibean soup; Photoplay, Vintage Girl; Cocoa Vanilla, Boy's Rule; Elle's Studio, puffy stickers; Simple Stories, Life in Color; Msggie Holmes sticker book

Thanks you so much for visiting my blog today and I hope to see your pages popping up in the White With 1 facebook group. Find the links and challenge details HERE and HERE.

And remember to keep crafting!

Sunday Slot

Today I'm sharing a scrapbook page that I created using the sketch and colour from the White With 1 Challenge.

   

I really love the crisp fresh look that a white page with just one colour gives. Here's my Christmas green page.

I started by making the top border using Uniko's In The Forest stencil. I then punched a scalloped border to fit underneath and cut a straight strip to go above. The Christmas tree came next and then I placed the photograph on the vertical green panel.

One year on from the photo on this page, but he's still just as adorable and totally entranced by the magic of Christmas!

I punched the notebook border and stamped the lines to create a journalling card from a piece of white card. All these pieces were then adhered and the Christmas tree popped up onto foam pads for dimension. All that was left to do now was the fun part of adding embellishments.

I used stickers, words and enamels dots in three different groupings around the the vertical panel.

Supplies:
Stencil: Uniko. In The Forest
Ink: SU, tranquil tide
Stamps: Wonky Tonk, Meet Me Under The Christmas Tree; Kaisercraft, Wood panel
Punches: ek, notebook & scallop edgers
Embellishments: Pinkfresh Studio, Just a Little Lovely ephemera; MAMBI washi stickers; Paperchase puffy hearts; MME Necessities wooden arrow; YNS Gumdrops; Vicki Boutin & Maggie Holmes sticker books

It's been so much fun to have you visit my blog today. Thanks so much for taking the time.

I'm taking a little break from daily blogging as the Christmas season is beginning to hit me! There may be the odd blog post and challenge entry as I find the time and energy, but no promises.

I'll be back in January though, so until then keep crafting!

And I got a bit creative with my Halloween stamps from Clearly Besotted, some spiders and die cut drips - well it's actually a grass die cut but I turned it upside down.

Have you ever been to a Pumpkin Patch shop or event? Well I went for the first time ever this year and had the best time. Naturally it's made its way onto a scrapbook page.

I used the sketch and colour combo from White with One - how perfect was the citrus orange for my photos!

  

Here's my page:

Once I'd sized and printed my papers I selected some orange patterned papers from my scraps box and adherd them down to the white background paper.

I added three small stacks of embellishments following the sketch for placement and also a little journalling about the event.

White With 1 Guest Designer

I'm super excited to be here today Guest Designing with White With 1. It's always a pleasure to be asked to Guest with a challenge, but is even more special for me when it's a scrapbooking challenge!

As the name suggests the challenge is all about using mainly white with one given colour. Well for August it was either deep purple, pastel purple or a combo of both. A colour choice from heaven for me then!

And there is also a sketch to follow.

Well a recent trip down to Portsmouth for a college reunion had me discovering a whole new concept in cocktails - yes you've guessed a purple one! So it had to photographed and it had to be scrapped!

So here I am looking rather smug with my parma violet gin and prosecco cocktail down by the harbour in Old Portsmouth with the famous Spinnaker in the background.

I used a white pen for my journalling on the deep purple strip of card stock which I edged in white with a border punch. The flower embellishments are a Uniko stamp and matching die and I also added some hearts and sticker words too.

The hello is a Lawn Fawn die and the puffy today sticker is from a MAMBI planner sheet.
the speech bubbles and circles are die cuts and I inked around their edges with a little distress ink.

Supplies:
Papers: scraps from my stash
Dies: Laewn Fawn, Hello; MFT Die-namics, double stitched circles; Clearly Besotted, speech bubbles
Punch: ek scalloped border
Stamps: Uniko, Beautiful Blooms 1 + matching die
Ink: Memento, grape jelly
Pen: Sakura gelly roll, white
Stickers: MAMBI, Elle's Studio, Paperchase, Tim Holtz Idea-ology

Thanks so much for visiting my blog today, I love it when you can find the time to look.

And keep crafting!

the last of my scrapbook pages for a while and this one is going into the challenge at White With 1.

   

Here's my page:

This started out as a page about having his hair cut for the first time in a year, but got side tracked by the ever present lego when he's around. He just loves to build and follow the instructions, rarely asks for help and keeps him very busy!

The lego man is a Cut To You file  - see I'm trying to use that very expensive and not loved by me very much cutting machine! i had to tuck his feet out of sight because they got a bit scrunched in the cut.

The title, stripy patterns and splatters are Precious Remembrance Shop stamps - now those I do love!

Supplies:
Stamps: Precious Remembrance Shop, Totally & Positive Thoughts
Inks: SU, Bermuda Bay, tempting turquoise
Cut file: Cut To You, Lego man
Stickers: Jillibean Soup, Kaisercraft, Lilybee Designs, Cosmo Cricket, Pinkfresh Studio, MME, Ppaerchase
Enamel dots: Echo Park, Have Faith

It's been totally fabulous having you visit my blog today, thanks enormously for your time.

And keep crafting!
