Stay Wild

Inspired by, and sharing at::

* Life is Art ~ Explore Japan Online Crop

* Park Hopping My Happy Place ~ Jungle
I scrapped a forest theme, using lots of green tones.

* Creative Chaos ~ Fun in the Sun #1
My take on the starburst design - dimensions were scaled to suit my 8x8 layout size (and the size of my paper scraps)

Christmas in July

I'm sharing this page at Soul Scrappers for the July Mystery Challenge - Christmas in July. I used papers from the Kaisercraft Sparkle collection, and included hidden journalling on the back of the tag tucked behind the photos.

I used some of the offcuts to make a Christmas card.

Thirsty Cockatoos

Making more progress on the LDST album, with another two pages done. Not exactly a double layout because they are quite different designs, but more like companion pages with the same theme and similar elements.

This is the left hand page -

This layout was inspired by the Soul Scrappers July Tic Tac Toe challenge.  I used prompts from the diagonal column:

PEN {Doodled borders with my trusty Staedler Triplus Fineliner - Chocolate Brown}
KRAFT 
WASHI {wide washi tape Tags strip}

===================================

This is the right hand page -

The page design was inspired by the Soul Scrappers July sketch challenge.

A land of sweeping plains

Sharing at:

* Scrap Challenge YOUrself ~ Patriotic mood board

Photo taken in outback Queensland - on a bush track somewhere between Winton and Old Cork. Non-Australian friends may not recognise the title reference - it is a line from Dorothea Mackellar's beautiful and iconic poem, My Country. The second stanza in particular, is the most well-known, and most quoted. I used mostly Australian scrapbooking papers to make my layout {Cocoa Vanilla and Kaisercraft}.

Art Journal

I played in my little art journal today.

Inspired by:

* Charms Creations ~ Art journal challenge

Not sure if I satisfied the brief correctly, however I used what I had: tissue paper from my stash, stencilling (inspired by Rachel's creations), a face {Vermeer's Girl with a Pearl Earring diecut from Graphic 45 Renaissance Faire collection}.  I used a quote from Tracy Chevalier’s book, Girl with a Pearl Earring.

ATC Challenge - June, part 1

I'm continuing with my mission to join all of the Scrapping Clearly 2025 ATC Challenges. These are the ones I've completed in June so far.

Week 22 ~ Geometrics
This was the last challenge in May, which I didn't complete before the end of the month. I chose triangles for the geometric shape {Pink Paislee Memorandum - Memo patterned paper} and added a sentiment with Dina Wakley Collage Words.

. - . - . - . - . - . - . - . - . - . - . -

Week 23 ~ Whimsical Creatures
I built my ATC around a cute mermaid {Miss Kate’s Cuttables}.

. - . - . - . - . - . - . - . - . - . - . -

Week 24 ~ Celestial
I used {Kaisercraft Stargazer patterned paper}, metallic silver card {upcycled product packaging} and two star punches.

The metallic card is very shiny and pretty, but tricky to photograph from directly above - much easier to see from an angle:

I'm sharing this ATC at Park Hopping My Happy Place ~ June challenge, Celestial Park theme.
