Welcome to July ...

 Welcome to JULY and our BROWN Moodboard with USE THIS element of Tags.

USE THIS criteria -  Tags

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.  Of course you MUST use a majority of white on your page - the easiest way to achieve this is to use a white cardstock background but that is up to you.

We are also introducing a simple monthly "Use this" criteria for you to include on your entry.

 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 - perhaps you like owls or birds in general, have art gallery or museum pictures to scrap? or a trip to the city!  You might like using book pages or maps. You might like to incorporate string into your page, or just love the colour brown. Please mention what inspired you on your entry.  

and now some totally amazing inspiration from our wonderful 2023 team ...
(in no particular order)

Karen Brierley (Australia)
I adore owls so this is the direction I took with my layout, and I added some leaves too. I made a simple tag from upcycled packaging.

Tracey Beer (Australia)
Inspired by the map, owl and twine.

Heather Bensley (Australia)

Victoria King (Australia)
I was inspired by the leaves.

Amanda Moran (Australia)
Lots of inspiration this month 🤎 and a few tags too!! Words (in the book), coffee, twine and even the layout of the pictures on the wall inspired my tags layout. The timber patterned paper reminded me of the contents in a coffee cup.

Karen Guy (Australia)
The Buildings reminded me of my photos from Cinque Terre so that was my inspiration, buildings with lots of tag embellishments!

Theresa Kamp (Australia)
We wish Theresa well in her recovery from a broken arm and hope to see her back with us soon.

Jane Howden (Australia)
This month I decided to be inspired not only by a few items from the moodboard but the board itself to help create a blocked layout.  I knew I had a perfect wall of art photo to use as my theme and I have added my tag as a title with added twine and found some tiny owls for my page too.

This year we will have one main prize each month selected by random draw.

 This is open to all entrants so anyone could be a winner however should an international winner be selected I reserve the right to offer a store gift card in lieu of a physical prize.

Plus there will be a special "Admin Choice" winner who will receive an invitation to guest with us next month. 

To enter please visit our Facebook public group White with 1 challenges and put your entry directly into our monthly album under media.

All entries must be new for this challenge and the original work of the entrant. Please remember we are a layout only challenge - cards, OTP or pocket page entries (etc) are not eligible for prizes. Please also remember you may ONLY combine your challenge with a sketch challenge. Your entry must be predominantly white with the one extra colour added - small amounts of brown, navy or black may be used for contrast and we will allow green if part of a floral pattern. International entries are welcome.

We'd love to see how you use our White with 1 colour combination this month. Please come and join in with us! You have until the end of the month to get your entry in.
