Selfie - White with 1 August Challenge Guest DT for Scrapping Fun Kits

I was so excited when I saw the August colour for White with 1as it is one of the colours featured in the Scrapping Fun Kits, September 2018 Kit so you are getting a special sneak peek of September with this layout.
There is a Special Offer for White with 1 fans and Scrapping Fun Kits fans, if you order and pay for the August and September Kits the September will ship with your August Kit, so if you order in the first week of the month depending on how the post is going it should reach you with enough time to create a gorgeous layout for August White with 1.  This offer is only available to Australian residents due to the delays that can occur with International Post.

Unfortunately I forgot to use this month's sketch but my layout kind of turned out looking like the sketch so I wonder if it was in the back of my mind while I was creating.















In addition to the gorgeous Yellow items from the September 2018 Kit I used the White lace and daisies from the August 2018 Kit, the white flower from our School Kit and the Yellow butterfly charm from the September 2017 kit.

I started with the gorgeous Yellow Daisy paper and placed my 3 photos I was trying to decide on on it to work out which one suited this paper best.  Once that photo was decided on I knew I needed to use the Selfie word with this photo.  It is a selfie my daughter took in the car mirror on her way to her first ever day volunteering to fundraise for Starlight Children's Foundation.

I then played with the flowers to created a cluster and the lace from the August kit.  Once I had a basic idea of how this would work I started gluing things down with Helmar Acid Free Glue and Helmar Craft Glue.
The little daisies from the August 2018 Kit added a lovely little pop to the flower cluster.

I added the yellow straw and vintage crochet flower to the left side of the paper and flower cluster, along with the white lace daisy from the August 2018 Kit, it really helped finish off the main part of the layout.

Once I had the main part of the layout done I felt it needed something else so I decided to add some of this gorgeous washi to the top right and bottom left corner and to pull it in with the main part of the layout I added a piece under the main part of the layout, thankfully I hadn't glued the paper all the way to the edge.

I decided to add some of the yellow lace to the washi on the corners so then added it under the white lace to pull that in too.  I added a layer under the middle of the white lace which gives a nice hint through the white.

I also added the little daisies to the corner clusters to help make the corner clusters balance with the rest of the layout.
And I finished off the top cluster with this Yellow Butterfly Charm from the September 2017 Kit.

I finished my layout with a yellow doodle border, off camera.  I love the finished layout.

There are still a few spaces left for August and September so if you would love these kits head to the Subscription Tab and fill in the form.  If you want both click for a single kit enter September in the promo code so I know you want a 2 month subscription.

Back to School - White with 1 June Challenge Guest DT for Scrapping Fun Kits

Raelene here with my Guest Designer layout for the White with 1 June Challenge.
When I saw the name of this month's colour I just had to try and include some bits from the STEM/STEAM kit.  In addition to the bits from the April Kit I pulled out supplies from the May kit, a paper from a TN kit and supplies from a upcoming kit so I would have a variety to choose from.  Unfortunately my shade wasn't quiet right but

I was torn between photos of the boys first days of school this year or photos from morning tea with my cousin last year, in the end I went with the school photos as Mr C loves space so the prompt really drew me to recording a memory specific to my boys.

Due to the length of my ribbon I decided to do a TN layout as it was only a couple of millimetres too short so I cut it so the gap would be behind the embellishment on the journalling spot, this flair from the May 2017 Kit hid the gap nicely.






Instead of the journalling the sketch shows I cut down a paper bag to size and used some Helmar Professional Acid Free Glue to stick the base and side back together and used this for some hidden journalling, the sketch had a small tab on the journalling card so the flap of the bag was perfect for this.

As this layout is about how technology has allowed my kids to attend school from home and learn about all kinds of wonderful things I decided to use the Mars Rover Flair and a Moon Sticky note for the bottom embellishment cluster with 2 cute washi from the TN Kits.

I love how this layout turned out.

Baby Girl - White with 1 May Challenge Guest DT for Scrapping Fun Kits

Raelene here with my Guest Designer layout for the White with 1 May Challenge.
This colour was perfect for scrapping this precious photo of my granddaughter as it matched her cute beanie so well.







Majority of the items used in this layout came from a upcoming kit which was inspired by this month's colour prompt.
The paper frame and the smaller piece of paper are from the TN Kit range and the cute daisies are from the June 2017 kit.

You can see how this layout came together in my Process Video here.

I used the frame to add a bit of extra dimension to the bottom left embellishment cluster.

I cut part of the large chiffon flower from the kit away to use as a layer in this cluster, I love how it pops out from under the piece of crochet doily.








Once I started playing with the supplies and creating layers and clusters I just kept adding bits and I love how it turned out.

The perfect way to scrap this gorgeous baby girl.

Scrapping Fun Kits - White with 1 Challenge Guest Designer - Friends

Raelene here with my Guest Designer layout for the White with 1 April Challenge.
The March Kit had some pieces that were perfect for the April Challenge so I set the 2 items aside for this challenge and pulled some other cute bits from a upcoming kit.

You can see how this layout came together in my Process Video.

I started by selecting a photo that would work with the sketch and the colour.
This photo taken on the day my Mum met her lifelong best friend in 1982 was a weird size due to how my local photo printing place resized it to print, it had been a square photo but they made it a 3 x 6 inch photo.  So I thought this was a good one for the sketch instead of 3 small photos and due to the colouring in the photo brown suited quiet well.

I stayed fairly true to the sketch with this one, I loved the hidden journalling option in it and used the tag to record what event this photo was from.





I used the felt trim from the March Kit instead of paper for the top right section of the sketch and the ribbon from the kit as the ribbon in the sketch.  I also trimmed some flowers, leaves and a bit of vine from the felt trim to use as embellishments.
The other papers are up for consideration for a upcoming kit, what do you think of them?

I wanted to add this lovely lace that is from a upcoming kit so I added a small bit just under the photo mat on the left bottom paper, I love the little extra pop it gave the layout.

How cute is this burlap flower that will be in a upcoming kit?

I love how the leaves from the felt trim work in with the flower and lace.

This friends chipboard from the School Kit was the perfect title for such a important day.

I hope this inspires you to record a childhood memory and join in the White with 1 Challenge.

Scrapping Fun Kits - White with 1 Guest DT - Ball

Today I have a  Guest Designer layout for the White with 1 March Challenge to share with you.

I put the green goodies from the upcoming St Paddy's kit and Autumn TN kit on my desk to inspire me.

I started my layout by mixing some blue and yellow distress inks to get a shade of green that would suit this month's colour and used packaging technique to add colour to my white cardstock.

Next I added a strip of washi to break up the page and get things started.  Then I started building my layers.  

I have a Process Video for you, so you can see how it came together.

The green paper from the upcoming Autumn TN kit was a perfect addition to my layers.  It has so much texture and dimension in it, I just love that paper.

The white flower from the School kit was perfect to combine with the tiny resin flower from the October 2017 kit, the Frame from the upcoming Autumn TN kit and this cute chiffon flower from a upcoming embellishment kit.

How gorgeous is that green lace and felt trim, just perfect for this challenge.

These chipboard letters from my stash were perfect for my title.

I love how this  layout turned out.  I enjoyed it so much that I kept out my St Paddy's kit and created another Green and white layout which I will share with you later in the month.

The prize from Scrapping Fun Kits this month is one of our sold our St Paddy's kits, if  the winner has already bought the kit I will exchange the kit for a shop credit.

I look forward to seeing what you create so please let me know if you enter.

Scrapping Fun Kits - White with 1 Guest DT - Happy Mail

I am so excited Scrapping Fun Kits is sponsoring White with 1 for all of 2018.
As a sponsor I get to be a Guest Designer so today I have a layout for you for the White with 1 January Challenge.

As my kits are often more than 1 colour I went through all my kit supplies for previous kits and upcoming kits to find some goodies to use for this colour prompt, so you get a sneak peek of some supplies that won't feature in kits until Winter 2018.







I have a Processing Video for you.

I started by placing the embellishments and papers from my stash that would suit on my desk to  inspire me and found a photo that would work with the supplies, I also pulled out a stamp that would coordinate with the gorgeous butterfly washi and a ink pad that would suit this colour prompt.

How gorgeous is the washi and lace that will be in a upcoming TN kit?
And that flower that will be in a upcoming embellishment kit is so cute.











I decided on  a TN layout as I am loving how quick they are to  put together  and  I love the size, however my insert has cream paper so I had to cover it with some white paper, I just used normal printer paper.

I have loved creating for this month's White with 1 Challenge and I hope to see you  join me in entering.

The prize from Scrapping Fun Kits this month is one of our sold out December kits, if a subscriber wins who already has the kit I will exchange the kit for a shop credit.

I look forward to seeing what you create so please let me know if you enter.

White with 1 August Challenge

White with 1 this month features my favourite colour this month, so August is the perfect month for me to join this Challenge for the first time.

First I gathered together all my embellishments that may suit it and the photo I wanted to scrap with this layout.  As I chose a photo for my daughter's pregnancy album it meant I needed to do a 8x8 layout which adds to the challenge as it limits space.

When selecting paper I chose a piece of 6x6 paper from Kaisercraft Ivy Crush range in the shade of purple for the challenge,  I also chose this piece that has a lacquared print on it and coloured it with Distress Stain in Seedless Preserves to coordinate with the colours of the layout.

I also coloured one of the smaller butterfly stickers from Kaisercraft Ivy Crush with Distress Stain Seedless Preserves.

I used more of the vintage lace from my Mum's sewing stash, doily flower from the crocheted table runner, a quote tag from Kaisercraft Ivy Crush and chipboard buttons from Bella.

I swiped some Distress Stain in Seedless Preserves on my white cardstock before adhering things down so the swipe marks would poke out from the photo.
I added 3 of the little circles that I popped out of the chipboard buttons on the bottom right corner.
