White with One

Here is the sketch we are asked to use at White with One.

The featured colour is

After looking through my papers I managed to find a peachy paper that will serve the purpose.

I stitched it at the top with cream thread. After mounting my 3 photos I stuck them then used white and peachy ribbon to highlight.(Trying desperately to use up those ribbons!)

Next I cut out the shape for my title background and placed that. In my kit I had the echo park alphas for kookaburra and a small card saying hello. There was also a tab saying laugh which was appropriate.

I added by small journal block plus a butterfly and "Let your dreams take flight"

Jumpstart sketch at The Scraproom.

There is a Jumpstart sketch, also at Scraproom.

Using pastel papers from my kit I put together this layout.

One point of interest is the white pleated circle which was actually a drinking glass cover from that motel. I knew I'd use it somehow. I inked the edges.

Throwback sketch.

My next layout is for the scraproom again and is the throwback sketch.

In my kit was a truly awful paper featuring ladies shopping for clothes with lots of bright colours. I used it as the background on this layout.

Pink wouldn't have been my first choice for this layout, but I'm trying to use some as I have hundreds of sheets. (Does it breed?)

After placing my photos and the sticker for journalling, I added the curled twine and 2 blue flags on toothpicks.

I placed the K.I. in the circle. (Kangaroo Island)

My last addition was 3 tiny Darkroom door pictures with a sea theme.

TSR Colour challenge.and FReaky Fast Friday.

The scraproom group on Facebook has a colour challenge.

I chose a spotted paper from my kit featuring those colours Ruby Rock it Bolt collage ,plus a large card that matches it beautifully Simple Stories Summer Vibes. That takes care of Larchmere.Actually the background paper features most of these colours.

I matted my left hand photo on Parakeet coloured spotted paper.Then I added 3 small squares of patterned paper from Simple Stories Summer Vibes. Next came the cream strip across (Rice paddy) plus a further strip as well as a shorter border strip in impatient pink. This only leaves Ionian which I think I've got in the background spots.

We saw this meerkat at Adelaide zoo and he came right up to the glass window, hence the photo on the right!

********************

I've also done their Freaky fast Friday challenge where the give you the sizes of papers to use.

Using some of my pink papers in the kit, I ended up with this.

I'm pleased to get some buttons form my stash on there also.

Scrap our stash Remix challenge

At Scrap our stash we are asked to scraplift this layout.

I chose a pale lemon paper from my Counterfeit kit as my background. I used brighter busy prnts for my matting.I added a yellow flower on my left hand photo and layered a yellow daisy sticker,a small punched flower and brad top right.

Next I dribbled red mist over the page (sparingly) then stamped 3 butterflies. I added 2 die cut butterflies and my title.

I'm happy with this one and will keep this designfor future layouts.

Challenge YOUrself

My fiest layout this month is for challenge YOUrself.

I've used a floral pink paper despite it being a beach scene and the colours pinks and black to match my outfit in the photo.

My photo was taken at Seal Bay in South Australia,where I was able to walk on the beach with sea lions. There's a couple in the background. I loved every minute of it!

I've also used strips of washi tape,5 buttons (they're all pink despite the fact 2 look red), a sticker strip and chipboard flower plus the alphas.
