January Mid-month DT Reveal

Hey there Off the Rails fans... 

We are a little late with our mid month reveal - someone needs to slow January down!

This months challenge is all about new beginnings and we starting out as new parents. 
So get out the kids photos and have some fun with this challenge. 

Thank you Off the Rails Designers for the inspiration this month.

Seeing out the old year with CathyS

Hi All,

Sure hope you have all had a truly blessed Christmas season. Thank you so much for following us faithfully each month and we hope we have inspired you with all our creations.

To wind out the year I created a scrap layout in keeping with the "old year / new year" theme seeing as we are at the end of 2018.

New Year's layouts don't always have to be made for the 1st of January.... sometimes you need to end the year off too. This layout also has loads of bright colours on it to celebrate the old year finishing.... not always a deary thing.

I used papers from Simple Stories and then added some oldish stickers from my stash which picked up on the colours. My title I cut with my Curio maching and added a few letter & number stickers for contrast.

The technique piece is done by adding three colours of distress ink to a craft sheet (I used pink, blue and green to pick up the colours from the paper). Spray the ink with water to form droplets and then dip the cardstock into it and let dry. Once adhered to the layout, add some contrast in yellow in, y applying the ink to a stencil, spritz with water and then stamp onto the layout in places. Leave to dry. The dots are stencilled in brown in various places on the layout.

From all of us here at Off the Rails we wish you a peaceful and prosperous 2019.

Till next time,

"Loving Life" Scrapbook layout + process video by Louise

Hi Crafters

Louise on the blog today.
Here to share my inspiration for the November moodboard.

 "Loving Life"

This month we'd like to inspire you with this "Boho" themed moodboard.

Straight up ... this was really hard for me!
I'm definitely not a fan of the boho trend and I'm more a brights/bold kind of person.

So I did a little googling of "boho" and discovered arrows, florals and feathers.
Next I looked for a photo and decided this would be a good opportunity to scrap a picture of myself.

Finally I've gotten into my stash and put together this page.
You can see it here in this video ...

Thanks for watching and can't wait to see your creations.

Happy Scrapping.

"School Lunches Blah" Scrapbook layout + process video by Louise

Hi Crafters

Louise on the blog today.

Here to share my inspiration page for the September moodboard.

"School Lunches Blah"

I'm not going to lie. I found this food challenge quite difficult.

Firstly I chose my photo. While looking through my printed photos, I found this one of the first ever school lunches I made back in January.

It was kind of exciting at the time, but now I look forward to tuckshop days when I don't have to make lunches ... and I've still got to do this for twelve more years!!!!!

So I decided to make that the story of my layout.

The colour inspiration came from the little cupcake embellishment - I wouldn't normally have used it but for this page, it was perfect.

You can see and hear all about my process in this video.

Thanks for visiting.

Happy Scrapping.

Such a fun challenge!  I chose this photo of my daughter peeping through a window cookie that we'd just baked - it was our first attempt and it went down a treat! She was incredibly proud of all the beautiful little biscuits she helped bake!  I also added an adorable little cupcake element to bring the theme together.
