National Scrapbooking Day

I seem to have lost my scrapping mojo lately but as today is National Scrapbooking Day I decided I should make a page to share with you. I used a sketch from Alison Davies from a few years ago and made this in about 30 minutes.

Line ‘em Up

Challenge 15 to line up small items in a row. I used Shimelle’s sketch. I’m still not sure if I like this layout.

 

I managed to complete fifteen of the 24 challenges since National Scrapbook Day.

I think I’ll keep going and try to finish the rest.

Double Page

The 14th challenge was to create a double page layout.  I used Shimelle’s layout as inspiration.

Favourite Papers

Challenge 13 was to highlight your favourite papers.  Like Shimelle I’m a huge fan of American Crafts especially since they started releasing products digitally. I also love Echo Park.

Write a letter…

The twelfth challenge was to write your journaling in the form of a letter. I wasn’t sure if I should post this as it is a little personal.

Make It Sparkle

The eleventh challenge was to use glitter to make a layout sparkle. Time to break out the glitter styles I rarely use.

Mood Board

The tenth challenge was to use a mood board to speed up the process I decided to use one by Janna Werner as part of Two Peas In A Buckets  In the Mood to Scrap series.

Fancy Cutting

The ninth challenge was to do with using diecutting machines. Since I’m a digital scrapbooker this was a challenge. I downloaded some of the free cutting files from Two Peas In Bucket (frames and tickets) and used then to digitally cut shapes for my layout. It’s not my usual style but I kind of like it.

Scrapbook Yourself

The eighth challenge was to scrapbook about yourself.

Scraplift Yourself

The sixth of Shimelle’s challenges was to scraplift yourself.  I lifted a layout I made last year.

Scrapbooking with Eyelets or Brads

The fifth challenge was to use Eyelets or Brads. I lifted Shimelle’s layout as inspiration.

Write with Repetition

The fourth challenge was to write your journaling with repetition.  This one was harder. I was looking through my digital kits and found the Amy Tangerine Surround paper which repeated the work Love. So I went and found some pictures from my friend’s wedding last year and decided to use the Love is… reading they had at their wedding as the journaling. (It’s a stretch I know.)

Scrapbooking with Spray Inks and Mists

Challenge 3 was to use spray ink or mists  since I’m a digital scrapbooker this is a little harder than grabbing a bottle of mist from the shelf. I remembered that I had a couple digital mist brushes from Splendid Fiins but they were a little too powerful. So as it is national scrapbooking day I went shopping. I found some dynamic brushes which created spray, thin spray and a dots.

Scrapbooking with 4x6 photos

The second challenge was to scrapbook with 4x6 photos. I have a tendency to use 4x6 photos now unless I’m using a sketch by Alison Davies as I want to get lots of photos on one page.  I must be inspired as I’ve completed the second challenge and it’s only 8.30 am UK time.  This was inspired by Shimelle’s 3 photo layout.

Scrapbook In Pink

Today is National Scrapbooking Day and Shimelle Laine is posting a series of challenges on her blog. The first challenge is to scrapbook using pink. Pink is not my favourite colour but my niece loves it.

I used the basis of her video as a starting point for this layout.

 

Challenge 1 done.
