Welcome to December ...

And suddenly it was December and Christmas is right around the corner.  We hope you can squeeze in a little time to play along with us this month using this awesome colour which goes so very well with white.  Just because it is the festive season I am going to relax the rules just a little and you can submit a journal page, mixed media or off the page item as well as layouts (for this month only).

We hope you like our inclusion of a sketch courtesy of PageMaps to help inspire you further. You don't have to use this to put in an entry but we'd love it if you do :)

and some totally amazing inspiration from our wonderful team ...

(in no particular order)

Lisa Marie Watling (South Africa)

Michelle Van Oudtshoorn (New Zealand)

Some of the gold is not quite showing up on the photo of my layout, but the white leaves have all been sprayed with gold ink, and the stitched stamping are a light gold ink. The butterfly and xxx stitches are gold foil.

Lisa Johnston (Australia)

Gold is hard to get right in photos but it is very sparkly and pretty in real life. This was a fun sketch too.

Tanya Heritage (Australia)

Louise Turner (Australia)

Who doesn't love gold? Such fun making a whole page just with gold elements. I've got some gold embossed stars in the background and lots of sparkly layers. 

Jessica Toulmin (New Zealand)

From the sketch I did a border top and bottom (with my gold and white Christmas washi tapes), and a block in the middle with the banner pieces and circular elements. I created a large title with white and gold alphas, and did simple embellishing as it really didn't need a lot with all that shiny and sparkly gold! I will add where the photo was taken, but I didn't need a large journaling spot on this layout as it is pretty self explanatory. Merry Christmas everyone!

Natsuko Suzuki (Japan)

I really didn't have many gold elements as you can see, but I splashed some gold ink on the background and added gold washi tape on the top and bottom, some diecuts, stars and a ribbon clip.

Our November guest ...

Please welcome Brenda Caldow (Australia) as our guest designer this month with her layout based on our ORANGE BLAZE colour for our challenge for November.

Hi,

I'm a married mum with two lovely boys who manage to keep my life very busy and happy. We live in Delacombe/Ballarat, Victoria, Australia.

I drive buses but mainly now just for the Rokewood primary school and a service run between Rokewood and Ballarat two days a week. Scrapping, Mixed Media, card making and Beyond The Page are my passion and my boys, mum, family and friends are my inspiration.

I also run some class in Warrnambool which I just love to do, sharing what I know. But I also love to go to classes and learn new things myself. Crafting is deferentially my happy place and I love the friendships I make along the way.

Please visit me on my BLOG

Thank you so much for being our guest this month Brenda.

Tanya Heritage (Australia)

Louise Turner (Australia)

Scraplifted from: http://scrapfloring.over-blog.com/

as found on Pinterest - Totally love this layout!

Lisa Johnston (Australia)

The little T Rex embellishment from Crate Paper Boys Rule was the start of this whole layout - it was so cute and the perfect colour.

Jessica Toulmin (New Zealand)

I was inspired by the high lights and low lights of the girls hair and the weaved trim/ fabric - slightly different variations of the same colour. I decided to punch a whole bunch of flowers in slightly different orange patterned papers, to get the same look. I layered two different sizes of the flowers, using orange patterned paper as well as white paper and plain vellum. I attached a strip of orange patterned paper across the top and bottom of the layout, and did some orange water colour behind the photo (hence the warped paper - it will flatten in my album!)

Lisa Marie Watling (South Africa)

Michelle Van Oudtshoorn (New Zealand)

From the moodboard, I was inspired with red haired lady, hence the photo and the swirls on the lace, which is why I used the chipboard frame

Natsuko Suzuki (Japan)

I was inspired by the different textures in the moodboard so I used several stencils and modeling paste to create a variety of them. I also used typed words. This is my daughter with her loveing teddy bear. The picture was taken at a different year, but she still has the habit of keeping him beside her♡

Melinda France (Australia)

The mood board made me think retro so I dug into an old stash of basic grey papers for this one. The braided ribbon made me think stitching or ribbon so I added a lot of sewing too.

Marie-France Boulay (Canada)

I was totally inspired by this vibrant color and automatically visualise the monarch butterfly and the pumpkin. I used letters for my background like the typewriter.
