Thank you for all your delightful September entries for our combined challenge with Soul Scrappers last month - it was really wonderful seeing all your bright and happy layouts for our challenge.
Our October challenge is a nod to the annual Breast Cancer Awareness Month.
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!
Please welcome our September guest designer, Amy Prior with her gorgeous take on our challenge this month.

Our additional criteria is FLOWERS so don’t forget to include some on your layout.
My name is Amy Prior, I live on the Central Coast with my husband and 2 teen daughters (16 & 18). I have been scrapbooking for about 20 years although life has gotten in the way of my hobby a lot over the past few years. Throughout the years I have had the pleasure of working with some of the biggest brands/publications in the industry, and I have even spent many years on the WW1 design team here and there. I have always had a very mixed style where sometimes I love a bit of grunge, shabby chic, bright & fun, or everything in between. One thing has consistently been in my style and that is mixed media. I love art and getting messy with creating fun unique backgrounds for my pages. I have also got a bit of a reputation for layers and flowers lol. Unfortunately, I don’t have an active blog or socials for my scrapbooking anymore but whenever I get the chance, I will randomly enter some challenges and am always happy to share more pics of my work if requested.
Thank you for all your amazing August entries - it was so inspiring to see how you all tackled our Burgundy with flowers challenge.
Something a little exciting is happening in September! We are doing a combined challenge with Soul Scrappers Challenges, which means you do the one layout upload here and over in their monthly album and have two chances to win!
Please use TWO of the colour options of APRICOT / TEAL / HOT PINK / GREEN on a WHITE background to create your layout using elements from the moodboard as inspiration.
Our additional criteria is FLOWERS so don’t forget to include some on your layout.
Your inspiration could be a shape or pattern, theme or items contained with in it. You might like a particular element or use of background. You can use black (or navy/ dark brown or a little gold/silver) as an accent colour only. Please don’t forget to tell us what inspired you and pop over to Soul Scrappers to add your layout to the album there.
Please welcome our August guest designer, Jackie Edwards with her wonderful take on our challenge this month.
Hi! My name is Jackie Edwards and I live in Southend-on-Sea, Essex in the UK.
I am a widow but have a wonderful daughter and three beautiful grandchildren who are mostly the subjects of my layouts.
I have been scrapping for over twenty years now. I discovered scrapbooking when I was on holiday in America, and started when my first Grandchild was about a year old and my style has changed many times over the years. I am very lucky to have my own craft room and because I am now retired, I can scrap all day and not have to clear everything away!
I have always been involved with craft in some form – sewing, cross-stitch, cards, altered art and mixed media but seem to return to scrapbooking every time. My best buy many years ago was a Craft Robo, and I have a Cameo too now which means I can now cut 12x12 and titles etc and not buy alphas (although that is hard and I am often tempted) !!
I very much enjoy entering challenges because they give me the starting point for a layout, whether it’s a sketch or other criteria……..although the end result doesn’t always reflect the original design or intention! LOL
I don’t know what I would do now if I didn’t scrap!!!
I was very pleased to be asked to be GD this month and hope that my layout might give you some inspiration for this month's challenge!
We had some totally delightful entries entries for our July challenge last month - it was such a joy seeing all your wonderful cat and dog layouts. There were some seriously cute furry friends pages!
