Scrapbooking Top 50 June Sketch

Good Morning, have had another couple of creative days and that means time to catch up on the blogging. Today I thought I would share with you Top 50 Scrapbook's June sketch. 

Sometimes is just fun to flip a sketch to change it to fit into a style that you want to do and this sketch really lent it self to that and to some mix media, plus I want to play with my new black gelato!!!!

Dreaming of the warmer weather, well sort of....

I am not a huge fan of summer its not because I dont want to be, but it seems to not be a huge fan of me, well the sun that is. But when I am brave and do venture out to the sun its always to the beach. So with this in mind the recent Scrapbooking Top 50 cyber crop mood board challenge was perfect to get another summer layout done.

This is where just for fun I like to try things that are different and just have a play. This time I decided to use a whole sheet of vellum and get creative with some sewing.

''Hello Summer''
Crate paper; Flea Market Vellum, Crate paper The Pier pp, chipboard and tags.

We are not campers.......

Another catch up from last months Scrapbooking Top 50 cyber crop. This mood board I was concerned with as we arent  camping people in this household, so I needed to get a little creative with this mood board and I knew that I wanted to use the black and white stripe pattern as the base of my layout. The other colours that where the stand out where the blues, greens and teals.

''Everyday''
Heidi Swapp Favourite Things pp and Ephemera pack, glitter sticker.

Top 50 Cyber Scrap lift

Monopoly Challenge Week 2 Freestyle Freeway

Monopoly Challenge Week 2.... Styles!!!

 

For my roll I landed on Freestyle Freeway and I will my new founded mixed media endeavours decided to hit the ground running!!! 

 

Freestyle is a style where creativity and flexibility, and a full scope for activities is prevailed. Pages decorated in this style are bright, dynamic, with plenty of hand drawn elements, uncommon journaling, and full of surprising solutions. The creativity is seen everywhere, from a photo selection to an unusual combination of various scrap-products, colours, and techniques.

 

 

''A Girl needs a Castle''
Dylusions, Prima Stamps, Stanzon,
Crafters Workshop template, Kaisercraft template, Feather
Washi tape, texture paste, Bo Bunny Double Dot
Cardstock.

 

The "unsual journaling technique" is the envelope that has some journaling in there for my daughter to find later on..... and does it count that the fact I did  journal,  go towards the ''unusual'' part?

Monopoly Challenge.... GO!!!!

Over the last couple of weeks, since October.....  Scrapbooking Top 50 has have a wonderful challenge going....  epic even. It is a Monopoly challenge, pick your numbers and get different challenges and see what they are  each week..... so far I have kept on task.......  I think there was one week that I was a couple of days late but what can you do :P

So as any good game of Monopoly you need to get on the board..... So the GO!!! challenge was on... the perfect warm up.... To get you on the board, or onto the 'GO' space, you must complete your first challenge!  You need to create a layout with the letters 'GO' as the start of a word in your title or subtilte (examples include: GO, GOing, Goal, GOod, GOofy, GOlf - GOogle can help you out with many more)!! You also need to include a 'game' item, like a ticket, playing card, dice etc.

"Game On!"
Dylusions, Kaisercraft mask, Sawyers Place washi tape,
AC thickers, Mini alphas, Uno cards

And yes I did stick 2 UNO cards over the photo..... I really wanted to make it pop!!!
