090118 CKC September Kit Reveal

Tina has graciously taken on the month of September with a classically autumnal kit from Noel Mignon. But first, let's me introduce her Guest Designer Janet Madison. "Janet has this fun YouTube channel: RTS Scrapbooking (Record The Story) She has lots of storage ideas, does scrapbooking layouts, makes kits, tutorials and a few fun series too." She is also really fun to listen to! I know Janet from the ScrapHappy group & am delighted to have her here this month.

090118 September Archi-scraps Challenge + WM#278

 

Gaudi Tile Mosaic Fruit Spire, Sagrada Familia, Barcelona

This month's Archi-scrap challenge is to feature fruit in your entry somehow.

 (This reminds me of those oranges with cloves stuck in them at Christmas time!)

I ran across some apple product in my stash. Inspired by the little title card & the FAB photo (a total fave) of my hunky husband, I made this page.

The journaling comes from lyrics from "our song" from our high school dating days.

Still feel the same after 45 years later <3

And that makes this another perfect double challenge layout!
My take on the Whimsical Musings #278 be inspired by romance.

Thanks for stopping by!

082818 Whimsical Musings #297

WM#297 Be inzpired by thiz cover

At first I was a little stumped, so I made a little breakdown of the elements:

 half & half L/R color spray, large title in middle of representative geometric shape, journaling bottom left, embelli bottom right, 3^rd triangle spot top left (star on example), pp strip on left margin…

Then I ran acrozz thiz page on Pinterezt:

HERE

I knew I wanted to scrap some general summer grands pics & thought this would be adorable!

I busted out some supplies along the way.

My base papers are Felicity Jane in the inspiration colors. I left the 

branding strip on the minty background paper to mimic the strip on the side.

I had no stories so my journaling came from the chipboard phrases, which I 

purposefully chose for each of the photos & the final phrase for the overall page.

I decorated the large black title with some cute little puffy bees. So much fun!  

Glad for this Whimsical Musings inspiration so I could document their summer cuteness.

Thanks for stopping by!
