Welcome to September ...

Welcome to our SEPTEMBER challenge using ORANGE and using stamping on your layout. Thank you all so very much for all your wonderful August entries. Slate Grey never looked so good!

Something a little exciting is also happening in September! We are doing a combined moodboard challenge with Soul Scrappers Challenges which means you do the one layout, upload here and over in the Soul Scrappers Challenges monthly moodboard album and have at least two chances to win!

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 sunset/sunrise or have a passion for butterflies and wish to use some on your page.  You may wish to focus on using the shapes from this board on your page - the herringbone from the stairs or the rectangles from the windows. You might like to document a wild weather event or take inspiration from the dancing flames. Please mention what inspired you on your entry.

CRITERIA - Please use stamping on your layout

Our August guest ...

 Please welcome our August guest designer, CAROLYN R WARRAN with her fantastic take on our  Slate Grey with a splash of another colour challenge this month.

My inspiration for this layout came from a number of the moodboard elements. The shoes was my pop of colour. My background was a bokeh technique I learnt on a FNL with Vicki Boutin and the background circles were from the spiky balls on the moodboard, lastly the stormy beach in my pic reminded me of the dark and stormy element of the moodboard.

My name is Carolyn and I live on the north coast of NSW. I’ve been scrapping for more than 20 years now. My favourite brands are Cocoa Vanilla, Vicky Boutin and 49 &Market. I take a lot of inspiration from sketches and Scrap lifting other talented scrappers mainly on Pinterest. I love a good challenge. And I love scrapping at retreats and crop days where I can catch up with my wonderful scrappy friends.

Thank you so very much for guesting with us this month Carolyn. It has been a delight having you join in with us.

There is still plenty of time to join in with our Slate Grey with a splash of another colour challenge - entries close midnight on the last day of the month. We'd love to see your entry - what colour will you add to the Slate Grey?

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.

There is still plenty of time to join in with our June ICE BLUE with stencil and ink challenge - entries close midnight on the last day of the month. We'd love to see your entry - perhaps you could guest design with us too.
