Welcome to June ...

 Welcome to June - wow how on earth did that happen!  It's Winter and it's cold and reading and crafting and playing games are suddenly the best things to do! 

Create your layout on WHITE cardstock

COLOUR – Select your ONE colour from the image (RED, BLUE, GREEN, YELLOW or SILVER)

Small amounts of black, navy may be used for contrast and we will allow green if part of a floral pattern.

Be inspired by a Monopoly board - could be the game itself, or houses or cars or going to jail even. Let your imagination run wild!

This year we will be using a base colour (or allowing you to select your own) in any variation of that one colour you might like to use - light or dark colour ranges just so long as we can tell it IS your monthly colour choice. Please follow the simple monthly criteria if there is one.

and now some totally amazing inspiration from our talented 2026 team in no particular order!

I took inspiration from the car in Monopoly. We hired a Vintage car when we were in Napier and were given a tour around the beautiful Art Deco Buildings

Karen Brierley (Australia)
went with a car-themed page, and also used the pointing finger and Go!

Karen Guy (Australia)
This was a challenge, then my inspiration came from Go To Jail on the monopoly board, using my photos from Alcatraz and the colour silver!!

Please use OFF WHITE or CREAM or IVORY on a WHITE background to create your layout using elements from the moodboard as inspiration.

Hi, I am Lesley and I am an avid scrapbooker. I love all things chipboard and textured backgrounds. Generally, the messier the better and apparently I do love a good diagonal layout. 

I love scrapping all sorts of photos and own way too much washi tape. I love the challenges as they often put me outside my comfort zone.



Thank you so much for joining us this month Lesley, it has been a lovely having you guest with us.

There is still time to join in with our current challenges. Entries close midnight on the last day of May. We'd love to see your entry this month.

 Welcome to May and yes this year is just flying past.

I adore our moodpboard this month and I think trying something different in using cream, ivory or off-white on a white background might just offer you all a little challenge, but honestly it isn't difficult and the results are just amazing.

Our March guest ...

 Please welcome our March guest designer, Louise Turner with her delightful layout based on our challenge this month.




Please use GREEN on a WHITE background to create your layout using elements from the moodboard as inspiration.

Criteria – Please use thread or string in some way on your page






Please follow the link to view Louise putting this amazing page together.



Hello Crafters. I'm Louise from Sunny Queensland. I'm a busy Mum of twin boys with a passion for papercrafting. It's been almost twenty years of scrapping but more recently after the birth of our boys. I started a YouTube to share my love of crafting and inspire others to take it up. I describe my style as Paper plus Medium. I love to add ink, paste, sprays, watercolours and anything with sparkle to patterned papers. Some of my favourite brands are Simple Stories, Paper Rose, P13 and 49&Market. And just because I didn't have enough on my plate, a couple of years ago I started a bi-monthly digital scrapbook magazine for Aussies. 

You can check out The Scrapbookers Journal here:






Thank you so much for joining us this month Louise and for taking the time to create this wonderful video for us.
