ScrapPlezier - October Moodboard

This month's moodboard is up with the added theme of Halloween. As we don't celebrate Halloween at all I was pretty stretched to do this theme. But then I remembered Aaron having to do some "haunting" poetry last year and so here is my layout.

For this page I didn't use any Kaisercraft products (that's a first for this team!) and rather was inspired byt the "halloween" colours in my photos and used the "Darling Boy Two" range by Authentique. I cut out the circles using the Stone Lace Background design from JustNick.

The banner through the middle of the layout is actually a flap which lifts to reveal the script that Aaron wrote for their play based on the poem they had studied.

So stretch yourself too and be inspired by this moodboard. Come play along on the blog.

Shape Challenge

My scrapping over the last few weeks has been slightly hit and miss... with Aaron in hospital and me having lots of work to do, I haven't done too much. Thankfully there are some challenges around that get me motivated. Scrapbook Generations had just one such challenge... use a large shape and create a filled layout.

I have been eyeing cutfiles for a while and wanted to use a 12x12 one as a background to stretch my scrapping. This star from JustNick was exactly what I wanted to scrap.

Well as I only have an old 8.5x11" silhouette and my 6x12" curio this posed a bit of a problem. Thankfully the kind people at Shortcuts Crafts cut my background for me on their shop Cameo...so there starts my layout.

My background I made whilst testing my new neon irresistibles from Imagine Crafts. Once my start was stuck I filled it with bits of cardstock and then dug out my sticker words for even more fun.

Crazy me... I even handstitched all around the star just to finish it off.

Love that a simple inspiration challenge can lead to an accomplished goal.

Scraplift of a friend

A few weeks back I saw a layout by Lee-Anne Thornton and absolutely loved it... so decided it had to be scraplifted...this is my page.

I also used a diecut file from JustNick on my page. I had planned to cut it out of pattern paper but it didn't work... grrr. So after a few trials I cut it out of white cardstock and then ran a rainbow inkpad over it and outlined the letters in black.

Thanks for the inspiration Lee-Anne and JustNick.
