You Colour My World - Scrap Around the World November Challenge

Hi Everyone

I am certainly playing with Scrap Around the World again this month, BUT this time in the Guest Design capacity with the BoBunny DT. Thanks to Helen and BoBunny for this opportunity! ;-)

So here is the post at Scrap Around the World, where you will also find all the details about this challenge and also see the super inspiration from the BoBunny DT, as well as the Scrap Around the World DT.



Here is my take on it.

I kept pretty much with the sketch, as I really liked this chipboard and had wanted to use it for quite a while already and thought it would be perfect for this sketch.

I used the packaging from the BoBunny Dot collection, as well as the actual papers themselves.  The packaging had the rainbow effect and so it caught my eye for this challenge.

I did some gesso stencilling on the background, which just added a little more texture.

It would be awesome if you could play along....you have until the 30 November to submit your pages.

Thanks for popping by!
Have a super, colourful day!

To tell you a little about myself, I am a devoted mother, giving wife and happy creator!  I am a very happy scrapper and love creating layouts, as well as cards and altered projects. I am not sure that I have a particular style, probably somewhere between classic and shabby chic, but recently I have also done quite modern pages.   I love chipboards and embellishments, and I am always keen to try new things and once I have an idea, I really have to run with it, and must get to it as soon as I possibly can! I give classes at two local Scrapbook stores and love sharing my ideas and creativity with others.

I love being part of the Design Team at BoBunny (http://bobunny.blogspot.com/), which has certainly been such an honour and a privilege. BoBunny is so generous and they really do create such wonderful products to work with! The team of ladies I work alongside are really awesome and I am proud to be associated with with this team and  this fabulous company BoBunny!

I am a very versatile scrapper and create altered projects, cards and pages! I love anything paper and love trying my hand at a new idea! I think that is why paper crafting is such a passion for me, because it is ever evolving with new papers, new tools and new crazes!

Many things inspire me and my son and family are definitely two of those things.  I also love colour and layering, but sometimes clean and simple does the trick. I love photography and really enjoy taking good photo’s that can later be scrapped.  I truly believe that great photo’s make for great projects.

I created this page for the blog hop, using the beautiful Autumn Song! I absolutely love the purple papers (my favourite) in this collection and they certainly stood out for me and so I just had to use them for this page.

This page is of my oldest niece, who is a little older now, than when this photo was taken! She is turning into a beautiful young woman and I really wanted to remind her that she really is, perfect just the way she is!

I did some stamping and embossing on the background, and the title was done exactly the same way!
