Our July Guest ...

 Please welcome our JULY guest designer,  AMANDA COX with her delightful take on our TAN/KRAFT with wood veneer challenge this month.

I took inspiration from the cute little bunny in the mood board, and my wood veneer is the hearts and the bunny on the pin.

Welcome to July ...

Welcome to our JULY challenge using TAN or KRAFT on white with wood veneer.

This year we are continuing with using a base colour and allowing you to use any variation of that colour you might like to use - light, dark, colour ranges just so long as we can tell it IS the monthly colour. The only slight difference is this year we require you to do your layout using white cardstock as your base.

We also have a simple monthly criteria for you to follow.

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 cute animals or have a sweet tooth for ice cream and or toffee.  You may wish to focus on scrapping about your favourite hot drink during Winter or the carousel reminds you of a holiday destination.  You might like to use a lengthy title or use words on your page in another way.  Perhaps using wood grain or wooden embellishments is something you'd like to incorporate into your work. Please mention what inspired you on your entry.

CRITERIA - Please use wood veneer on your layout in some way

and now some totally amazing inspiration from our wonderful 2024 team in no particular order.

Amanda Moran (Australia)

Inspired by the drinks. Wood veneer hearts, ladies & chat bubble!

Karen Guy (Australia)

Inspired by the Bunny in the Mood board I found these Easter photos and used Wood veneer paper in strips and for the Title also used lots of Wood veneer embellishments!

Theresa Kamp (Australia)

I have used card stock stripped back to represent bark on a log and Kraft coloured pattern paper pieces. I was inspired by the wooden logs in the photo board as well as the quote in the middle square. My wooden veneers are the round wood circles and also the wooden log pieces. 

Karen Brierley (Australia)

Inspired by the quote and added a text background to my page.

Our June guest ...

 Please welcome our JUNE guest designer, TRACEY ENGLAND (NZ) with her fantastic take on our ICE BLUE with stencil and ink challenge this month. She has really captured the chill of the ice blue in her page - brrrr!

Criteria - please use stencils and ink on your page.

A bit about me... I am a plain old Jane, really. 53, Mum to two amazing boys (well Men.. 29 and 24). Nainai to Two boys,7 and 5. With another due end of June. HAPPY days. Also Mum to 4 furbabies. Gus the Rottweiler. Storm the Staffy, Jaina and Beth the moggies. I live in Christchurch New Zealand.

I was introduced to this marvellous time and money wasting hobby 20 odd years ago by my BFF Sue. Totally by accident. I had popped round for a coffee and a chat and Sue and Katrina where elbow deep in paper. After asking what they where doing and watching, Sue asked if I wanted to try ... I WAS hooked. And have been dabbling ever since. I don't have a style. And I personally don't think I am any good. But it keeps me company.

 You can catch me on YOUTUBE.

Or Instagram, @Traceyspages. And I am in many Facebook groups.

Thank you so much for joining us as a guest on White with 1 this month. It has been lovely having you with us.
