DT Share: Mud Pies

A fun double pager from me this week about my sons adventures at Educated by Nature's Mud Pies group on the Swan River here in Perth.

I love the way the Kraft cardstock provides a nice neutral base for the busy and varied photos.

The Lime green KaiserMist still looks vibrant and bright on the kraft too.

Repetitive stamping is a nice simple way to add details here and there. I have used Tim Holtz Distress Ink all in the same colour but with different phrases.

Supplies Used: Kraft Cardstock Chestnut, Fancy Pants What a Wonderful Day Patterned Paper: Outstanding, and Reminder. Fancy Pants What a wonderful day: Ephemera and Fundamentals Stickers, Alpha: Fabric Thickers, Washi tape: Hambly set 2 and set 4 and WRMK Aqua,  KaiserMist: Lime Green.

DT Quick Share: Talea

 Just a quick share from me today... I've used Kaisermists to colour the wood veneer rose on this page. It is quick and easy to paint on with a brush and has a gorgeous delicate sparkle to it.

Supplies used: Bazzill Cardstock French Vanilla, October Afternoon Sidewalks Patterned Paper, Hambly Washi Tape, Cocoa Vanilla Love Always Wood Veneer Shapes, KaiserMists, Kaiser Rhinestones- Red, and Kaiser Resin Blossoms.

Gallery Pick

 

I love pages that do something unexpected and I think this one from Kikyee in our gallery fits that description perfectly. Not your traditional Wedding LO but completely lovely! I love that she used the paper with the addition or plus signs on it to represent the idea of two people coming together. The border sticker is a lovely touch, as is the inked edges... small details like this often make all the difference to a page feeling really finished. A great take on the sketch from September's Cyber Crop and a beautiful page for a beautiful day! Thanks for sharing Kikyee.

November Challenge

Our first challenge for November is a Halloween inspired mood board ... Your layout doesn't need to be a halloween layout, and let us all know what inspired you!

I will be woking on finishing off my take this afternoon....

I've been inspired to use, Paint Splaters, a banner and a stencil (inspired by the pumkin carving!)

Remember that you need to upload your layout into the Mystical Scrapbooks Gallery , or via linkup, by the end of October for your chance to win a prize.

And this month prize is a Flourish and Bling pack

Happy scrapping and I look forward to see what you come up with.

Gallery Pick

 

Here's another fantastic page from our September Cybercrop. Justjane was inspired to scraplift Fancy Pants Design team member Diana Brodeur. I love all the horizontal lines on this page and the little details. Jane has created perfect homes for all the elements on her page and then added some details with all her little circle elements to break up the straight lines- this is a great technique to add interest and also some fun. I really love this choice of colours as well- it's a nice subtle pallet which works really well with her photo. I definitely think is a page I'd like to scraplift! Thanks for sharing the inspiration Jane!

October Cyber Crop ~ Journalling

Hello all,

Welcome to the October CyberCrop. 

We're all about Journalling again this month and we have 8 ideas for you to choose from.

So the way this CC works is;

• You get 1 ticket into the draw per challenge ...up to the maxium of 3. You are welcome to do as many as you like, but maxium tickets given is 3

• Upload your challenge pages to our gallery, there is only 1 gallery this month, so and make sure you let us know what number challenge idea you have used.

You'll find below a list of 8 ideas for different ways to journal on your LO's with some examples of some from the DT.   You needed follow the ideas exactlly, your welcome to add your own spin, as long as we can 'see' the orginal idea.

1. Long title - Make you journalling and title in one by creating a long title that tells the story. The title of my LO below is a quote from Will age 3- something that he said often to Kieran- which always made us laugh because we didn't know where he got the idea from!

2. Story - Write your journalling as a story- you could even start it with Once upon a time....


3. Time-line - Use a time-line to tell your story- maybe pictures of a child at different ages, jobs you've had, cars you've owned, major life events, or placed you've lived?

4. Numbers about you - this is another list. But this one should be numbered and it should relate to you- 10 things I love about.... 15 life lessons I've learned... 20 things I want to do before I die... 12 books I'll always own... 10 things I'm thankful for.... 42 things about me at 42....  you can pick the number and the subject - but it has to be about you!

5. Significant other's words - Has your partner, child or another person close to you written or said something you'd like to get on a page? Or perhaps you can ask them too? Maybe even a He says/she says?

6. Repeat a phrase - Use the same starter for each sentence or section of your journalling: 
For example; 'I love you because....'  'Today you...' 'Currently I....' 'When you were little...' 'I wish...' 'I remember...' This prompt has more impact when you have at least 8 - 12 lines of journalling starting in the same way.

7. Social Media Stories -  Use some text from your social media- a Facebook status- maybe with comments, or your tweets, or instagram text. Or use a Meme that sums up some aspect of yours or someone else's life.

8. 5W's - Use the 5W's (who, what, where, when, why) to tell the story- make the words (who, what, where, when, why) as an integral part of your layout design. 

**********

You have a week plus to upload your creations into the gallery- there is only one for this CC. 

Due date Sunday, 6th November - Midnight

**All layouts entered must be created for this CC.

We will be giving away 1 shopping voucher valued at $20.00, and each entry receives 1 ticket into the draw.....each challenge you do gives you a chance to win!
