Recycle or Upcylce November Challenge

Welcome to November, this month not only do we have one of our fantastic mood boards to inspire you with, but also we want you to either recycle or upcycle something. Do you have a cereal box just about to be thrown in the trash or an old card or even some advertising material from your mail box? Maybe you have a background from a layout, a card or a mixed media canvas that you started but you only got so far before you decided that it wasn't heading in the direction you want. Now is the time to use these things and do what the name of our blog suggestions go Off The Rails and create something that you never dreamed of creating. 

Is the mood board giving you lots of ideas? Lets get those thoughts and idea flowing even more and see what the Design Team from created.

Vibrant, Fun and Stunning

You are in for a real treat, I mentioned in my last post that I was excited to bring you the some more inspirational projects that the design team have created and here they are.

Sanna

This is not a colour palette I´d normally choose to scrap with - I have very little purple in my stash :). I therefore chose to use ink sprays to create the background. I luckily had one ink spray in my stash that matched the colour palette´s purple ;-) !!! In the end I was really happy about how the layout turned out and actually totally happy there is a hint of purple on this page :)!! Fun challenge!

xoxo, Sanna :)

The Mood Palette for November is bright and vibrant and was a lot of fun to do although I'm not used to using such vibrant colours. This is what I created, hope you like it as much as I do.

 This layout is dedicated to my amazing friend who lost her battle with cancer this year, like this mood board she loved bright colours and had a vibrant personality and outlook to life.

I was inspired by the yellow & green tones from the palette, as they suited this photo of my daughter perfectly. I was also inspired to include the quote as my title and some gorgeous flowers too.

There Are So Many Reasons

Hi everyone!

Sue here with you today sharing my take on this month's mood palette.

I decided to create a canvas for a friend who has been having a hard time this year, and use the quote as the main focus. (I hope she loves it as much as I do!)

Here is my take on it...

As you can see, I stuck to using the warm colours from the palette, as they provided a gorgeous soft, feminine colour scheme for my project. (Although I did initially start with the intention of using all the colours, but then the creative process took over and I ended up somewhere else!)

I used lots of layering and textures on my canvas, ensuring that the quote remained the focus by building the layers behind, and around it, to frame it. The quote was printed simply on a Project Life card.

If you haven't already had a go at this month's challenge, I hope I have inspired you to join in! You are more than welcome to create a canvas yourself (or any other type of project), as long as it has been inspired by the mood palette. (You will find all the general guidelines for our challenges HERE.) And who knows? You may just be the lucky winner of this month's fabulous prize from 

Graphic 45!

Happy creating!

Let's have Fun with Flour

Today Erin is sharing a beautiful layout and a wonderful story about the photos, thanks Erin.

My youngest two children were watching me make dough one day, and they had to join in, so why not - let’s have fun with the flour!!  They loved to roll out the dough, sprinkle out the flour, and I think the best part was just getting messy!!

The challenge inspiration picture was my jumping off point for this layout.  I used the circle in the picture as the frame for the layout, but I did not want all the colors, so I just used the 2 main colors in the pictures, red and brown, but then added in just a pop of blue!!

Even though it is no fun to clean up messy flour filled floors, counters, and children, these moments that I just think "sure go for it" can be the most fun - and make for the cutest layouts!!

Challenge For the Month October

Can someone please tell me that I am dreaming and it's not really October already. Where has this year gone?

Well since it is the beginning of the month I guess you will be all wondering what the new challenge is.  Look below and put your thinking caps on, we will give you some help thanks to our talented Design Team, but then the rest is up to you

Thank you Fiona for creating another wonderful and exciting Mood Palette

 I am excited to share my take on this months fabulous mood board.

All the amazing fun bright primary colours inspired my page.

Lots of those colours in the background paint splatter, in the fun cross corner strips

and on the cluster of mini pennants.


Felicity
I love this mood board. It sure makes one happy!

TIP: If the colours seem to bright, just add some white or black, as I did to tone the colours down.

Erin

I used most of the colors, plus the circle idea from the picture, and of course this pictures just makes me smile!!

For Catherine's actual day of her birthday (not her party) we went to a indoor play area since August is hot in Texas!!  Cat was looking up at me and I had just read an email from her Grandma begging for a picture of the birthday girl, so I asked Cat to smile and "click" grandma got her photo.

Created a simple art journal page on the go. Creating doesn't have to be restricted to at home. I brought along some supplies (Faber Castell gelatos, wet tissue, 2 scrap patterned papers, 1 small punch, pencil, black pen, white Sharpie pen and glossy accent), out to do while waiting for my kids' piano lessons to end.

This month we are lucky enough to have a prize
from Graphic 45.

But we are not going to share with you what it is today you will have to keep coming back until we share the surprise.

What an inspiring palette this month! I love that it pushed me into using a colour scheme I may not have tried otherwise. I was immediately drawn to the gold glitter and created my background using a stencil & texture paste, which I then sprinkled with fine gold glitter whilst wet. I also drew inspiration from the "free yourself" quote for the theme of my layout, (and used a twist on it with my photos), taking the opportunity to journal to my daughter how I hope she will always be free to be herself.

I hope that you are now inspired and ready to create.
