Welcome to September ...

  Welcome to  SEPTEMBER and our BLACK with white Moodboard with USE THIS element of Washi.

USE THIS criteria -  Washi

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 the patterns you see on this board, stripes, triangles or geometric prints and want to use them on your page. You might be drawn to the clocks or the little owl or like the idea of incorporating lots of numbers onto your layout. 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)

My eye was drawn to the decorative text element and stripes in the mood board. I used two patterned washi tapes.

Lisa Kynaston (Austalia)

Inspired by the patterns and squares of the grid. I don't use washi usually and only had one roll of Domino washi that amazingly matched the theme, so have used it here.

Tracey Beer (Australia)

Inspired by the pencils and the letters.

Heather Bensley (Australia)

Victoria King (Australia)

Amanda Moran (Australia)

I was drawn to the clocks & triangle pattern for my inspiration this month. My washi tape is subtle underneath the title cluster and photo and in the top and bottom corners.

Karen Guy (Australia)

I was inspired by the clocks, used Washi tape to boarder my layout and another washi tape to frame my photo and another washi tape to highlight the title!

Jane Howden (Australia)

My page was all about the washi using it as vertical stripes on my page with only a small amount of patterned paper cut into circles.  I have also taken the star from the moodboard to incorporate onto my page and also used a heritage black and white photo to continue this month's colour theme.
