Each of the White with 1 team have selected a favourite layout they have created during the year and your job is to use your colour of choice on a white cardstock base and scrap lift one of them. You can interpret the page however you might like but we do need to see the essence of the layout you have lifted. Please let us know who you have lifted when you upload your entry.

My name is Wendy Crowe and I am happy to be a guest designer for White with one challenges. I’ve been a happy scrapper for over 20 years. I am married to my very supportive husband for 27 years, I have three children and one gorgeous grandbaby. They are all the main subjects of my pages. My favorite subject to Scrap is our family trips to Disney. I’m usually a simple scrapper, but lately I’ve been dabbling into more mixed media and trying different techniques. I’m always up for great challenges and tons and tons of inspiration. Glad to be here! Thank you for the great opportunity!

Thank you so very much for guesting with us this month Wendy. It has been such a pleasure having you join in with us.

Inspired by the roses! Picture taken early this year in the Christchurch botanic Gardens. Blanket stitched around the title piece - and there is rub on stitching under the word STOP, not sure if that's cheating :) !

Hello, my name is Jane Lieshout, I live with my husband and one of my two adult children in Wellington, New Zealand. I've been scrapbooking off and on for about 18 years, I started when we were living in Australia and I was looking for a hobby when my kids started school and we had so many photos of them!

We'd love to see your entry and don't forget stitching can be as simple or as complicated as you want to make it - sew on a button, add in some faux stitching, use rub-ons or stamps or get out the needle and thread and go to town - it's totally up to you.

Welcome to October ...

Our October challenge is a nod to the annual Breast Cancer Awareness Month. 

October is Breast Cancer Awareness month and an important time for NBCF to highlight why research in this area is so crucial. Breast cancer is the second most commonly diagnosed cancer in Australia, with 9 people losing their lives to the disease every day.

The only way to stop deaths from breast cancer is by funding research to improve our understanding of how breast cancer originates, grows and spreads so that we can stop it in its tracks. Join us to progress our vision of Zero Deaths from breast cancer.

 I don't think there would be many amongst us who haven't been touched by this insidious disease in some way - be it yourself, your grandmother, mother, sister, daughter, family member, friend or colleague, so if you can, please make a donation to this worthy cause.  Your contribution matters!

Our OCTOBER challenge will be PINK with stitching in some way on your layout. Thank you all so very much for all your wonderful September entries. They were all fabulous!

Criteria for October - please use STITCHING somehow on your layout. 

Please use white cardstock as your base. You can use black, dark brown, grey or navy as your accent colour for journaling, titles etc and we will allow green if part of a floral pattern. We'd love to see you take inspiration from this board and incorporate items you see and inspire you. You may be inspired by the saying and can incorporate it into your layout in some way.  Perhaps you love roses and wish to use some on your page.  You may want to to focus on the underwear aspect of this board or use fabric or feathers and texture on your layout. You might like to document some pink cocktails at a Breast Cancer charity event. Please mention what inspired you on your entry.
