Welcome to our September Challenges, this month we are letting our favourite movies inspire our challenges.
Challenge 1
It may seem tricky to be inspired by a movie but here are some suggestions:
"Hide & Seek" is a thriller movie title - I've never watched it (too scary) but I've heard about it.
So for this layout, I've used black Thickers to pop off the Nuvo background.
The background is just freehand squiggles, dots and splatters.
I've also used the Uniquely Creative papers.
This was lots of fun to put together and I can't wait to see your "Movie" inspiration.
Happy Scrapping.
Challenge 2
Good morning
Lets start with this one
No. 4
Good morning,
Julie here with my sketch for this months Cyber Crop
This is the sketch.
and this is my layout.
All of the chipboard pieces were attached to the layout using glue.
Here is my process video
Hi Crafters
Louise sharing today. Here is my cybercrop sketch with a hint of chipboard
"Picture Perfect"
I really enjoy creating in 9x12 so I'm challenging you to give it a go.
You could also adapt this sketch to 12 x 12 and still play along.
I didn't want my background to be too overwhelming so I've used a combination of white cardstock and glitter cardstock.
The squares of patterned paper are all from the Uniquely Creative "Choose your own adventure" collection
This time I've kept the chipboard simple and covered it with embossing powder.
I love to do interesting things with chipboard.
To finish I've just added some fussy cutting, cotton and journalling.
Can't wait to see your creations
Happy Scrapping.
Hello, for challenge 3 I have picked a PageMaps sketch...

Hi Crafters
Louise sharing today. Here is a new 12x12 layout "Friends"
For this layout I've been playing with
Uniquely Creative "Choose your own adventure" collection
These papers already have a mixed media feel so not much extra was needed - but to create some texture I've added some distressing and paper scrunching.
To embellish I've used some CVS Flair buttons
I love to do interesting things with chipboard.
So for this "Friends" chipboard, I've firstly coated it with acrylic paint.
Then I've covered the upper part with washi tape so I can add the glitter to the bottoms part.
I cover the lower section with tacky glue then sprinkle with glitter.
Once the glitter is dry, I spray with a sealant.
To finish, I've added a little bit of fussy cutting and some die cut pieces.
Here is the process video:
Happy creating!
This Month we are all about Sketches!
Sketches are fun, and a great way to kick your mojo up a notch. You can flip them, turn them around or rotate them to suit your photos
Challenge 1
Hi Crafters
How is it the start of month already?
Louise here.
This month we are focusing on sketches with a side of chipboard.
"Love this Moment"
I've designed this layout and then given you this sketch to use as you are inspired.
For this layout I've been playing with
Uniquely Creative "Choose your own adventure" collection
I also needed some colour in the background ... so I pulled out watercolours
To embellish I've used lots of Cocoa Vanilla Studio "Legendary"
and topped it off with some CVS Flair buttons
For the title, I've used the Love this Moment chipboard and treated it with acrylic paint and embossing powder.
I'm looking forward to seeing your sketch inspired layouts.
Have fun creating!
Challenge 2
Good morning
Julie here with my sketch for you for this months challenge
Don't forget there is 20% off all chipboard for this month.
Here is my sketch. I have not added any embellishments or title just the basis for the layout.
I am very interested to see the different ways you come up with to make this sketch your own.
I have used Couture Creations Peaceful Peonies Collection Pack , Core dinations Aegean Mixed Dots and plain pink cardstock to create this page.
All of the patterned papers and cardstock have had the edges inked using a black ink cube.
The flowers to embellish the layout were cut from Paper No 6
The photos are 2 @ 3" x 5"
Starting from the bottom level of the layout (Aegean Mixed dots cardstock) and working my way up to the photos the papers and sizes are:-
