For Task 1 from Scrapbooking Memories Masters Challenge 2016 I loved this photo of Mr C being a clown at the Doctor's while the nurse was really worried about him. So I typed up the story with the Title of Clowning Around and then when creating the layout I made a second title which could also incorporate the Clowning Around title. This idea wound up being used as a challenge in a group I help admin for October.
Unfortunately I didn't film this one but it was a lot of fun to create.
I used jewellery pieces, alphas from Kaszazz, black thread, black felt bow, watch pieces, circle chipboard Gesso, white cardstock, black cardstock, Rough and Tough by lili paper from fancypantsdesigns, Ready Set Go paper from American Crafts.
I swiped Gesso over the middle of my green paper.
Then I trimmed the green paper down a little and distressed the edges.
This paper really added a fun feel to the page and was perfect for scrapping my fun loving son.
Task 3 in Scrapbooking Memories Masters Challenge 2016 was "Scrap a layoutthat features the colours of the rainbow.
This months magazine features some stunning examples of using the colours of the rainbow in a layout.
I started by playing with a white sheet of cardstock and the colours of the rainbow in Distress Ink, Distress Stain, Mr Huey's Sprays and Dylusions Sprays. I just played to create a rainbow to inspire me but then I continued to play with stamping, gesso, ink splats, etc and I wound up not wanting to waste it so I used it as my background.
Then I went through my flower stash to add another dimension of Rainbow to the layout.
Once I had chosen my photos I chose some die cuts and a scrap of blue paper to suit the photos and pull it all together.
I do love the result.
In addition to ink pads, sprays and stains I used metal flowers from D-lish Scraps, crocheted flowers from Kaszazz, paper flowers from Lincraft and from the jar I bought at the Destash Market, die cut fence and hearts I got in a swap, black thread, Viva Paint Pen in teal, brads, music washi, red ribbon roses, paper from Atlantic 12x12 paper pad from American Crafts, black cardstock, white cardstock.
Now that the Scrapbooking Memories Masters have been revealed I am blown away by the various things others used for Task 2. My favourites are
The baby socks, just gorgeous and something I had planned on doing once my grandaughter grows out of those cute little socks. On that note I would like to inform you that my first Grandchild arrived on November 23rd, Evelyn is just gorgeous.
The fans, so gorgeous.
And the Party Hat, I saved a couple of the paper bags I used for Mr E's party in November to use in a layout of his Birthday.
Here is my take on this task, I went with lego bricks.
In addition to flat lego bricks I used a cute silver ute charm, cork stars from a old D-lish Scraps Just Add Paper Kit and pieces from a cut apart from The Paper Loft called Dude words and titles.
What unconventional things have you used in your memory keeping?
I loved the prompts in Scrapbooking Memories Masters Challenge 2016 and decided to use them to challenge myself. I changed my mind regarding submitting my layouts many times as doing them was about challenging myself more than anything. I wound up submitting them but I was not chosen. It was a fantastic experience and I really recommend giving it a go.
It was great getting this story told.
I used papers from Aldi, Ranger Clock Faces & Hands, resin roses & bird from Dlish Scraps Just Add Paper Kit Berry Bliss, Crocheted Flower from Kaszazz, paper doily, stickers from BoBunny Ambrosi, stickers from Teresa Collins Fabrications, metal buttons from a local haberdashery shop, paper flowers from a local craft store, paper flower from a local cheap shop, Creative Memories alphabet.
