''Cherish'' with Scrapmatts

Good morning how are you? I am here today with Scrapmatts to share with you something Autumn inspired...... a colour palette that isnt the norm for me as I tend to struggle with the Red tones.... but I was inspired after my demoing using reds and thought I should continue... 

And of course it was a great excuse to play with my new Go Press and Foil machine as well !!!!

Molossi Mood Board

Good Morning, Rikki here with another post for the start of  the week. Today I thought I would share with you my interpretation of the Molossi Mood Board. I have to share with you, it was for me a little intimating to do the board as I really enjoyed creating it but then having to translate it and do it justice scared me. But now that I am on the other-side of this I am so beyond happy with the results.

Whenever I start to interpret any mood board challenge, I always look at the colours first, it gives me the perfect start point.

Scrap the Boys - April Challenge Reveal

Scrap the Boys reveal time and this is and was a challenge for sure..... its amazing how some simple words can invoke such fears. BOYS LAYOUT + FLOWERS = me beyond stressed out. 

Its not that I dont think you cant have any flowers for a boys layout I use them all the time but it usually has myself or my daughter in the photo as well. So being brave I decided to go for it and I am soooooooo glad I did!!!! This is one of those layouts for me that might just stay on the wall forever. 

So why dont you give this months challenge ago and jump head first into something that you always wanted to try.... I cant wait to see what you create.

Inspired Blueprints #106 Sketch Reveal

Agghhh can you believe its half way through October and I am sure I would be happier if I knew where aren't really that far off Christmas.... not that I don't love Christmas its just that I am not that organised this year for the event , must make it a propriety and start the laybys now so I don't get stuck.... But I am sure there's plenty of you more organised than me? right?

But enough of the Christmas talk, its Friday and that means another reveal for Inspired Blueprints, sketch #106. How did you like the new team? I am sure they will get your creative juices flowing....

As you can see I have flipped the sketch and shrunk the photos one day I promise you I will leave the sketch as is but I do love a challenge and love to change it up a bit.
