My Two Boys Layout by Kay


When I think about what makes my day or puts a smile on my face--I can only think of one thing--getting some lovin' from my two boys. My eldest four legged boy goes above & beyond when it comes to sharing his unconditional love for me & it always warms my heart when my son hugs me or kisses me simply 'because'.

So here I am, getting some love from my two boys--even though my son doesn't look the happiest in this photo he had actually just finished giving me a very big hug!


Here's this month's mood board full of pictures that grabbed our host for this month; Dana's, attention & represented a form of love in some way or another for her.


I used several printables & images from this month's sponsor the CAT File Store on my page.  The bold black & white printables is what inspired me to do yet another layout with a black background. The solid black background allows for my photos, printables & embellishments to really 'pop' off the page.


In Photoshop I was able to add the digital design 'the cutest' right onto my photo.


Looking forward to seeing your interpretation of this month's challenge.

Now onto the prizes...

February 2015 - Denise van Deventer - Mixed Media Layout

Hello Everyone

It's Denise here today, to share my take on this month's mood board.

February 2015 Challenge

I created this mixed media page.


I used the very cute and gorgeous digi pieces from The Cat File Store.

Along with these pieces, I used the "All About Me" collection from Prima and some pretty Prima blooms.


I also used the gorgeous "Captured Stamps" from BoBunny.

Below is a close-up of my journalling.


My "staple" these days for most of my pages is watercolouring and gesso! ;-)


We would love to see your take on the mood board this month, so why not play along and join in the fun.

There are also some super prizes for inspiration too! ;-)

Hug Layout by Cathi

Hi Cathi here to show you my layout for this month's Moodboard challenge with a theme: Things You Love!!!


Join our February Challenge and share some of the things you love! Our challenge host Dana created this mood board using images that caught her eye on Pinterest. Whether you like birds or butterflies, flowers or feathers, postcards or old books, or something else entirely, just have fun creating a project showcasing the things or people you love. Feel free to incorporate photos, patterns and colors from the mood board in your project, but please do not feel required to use these images. This challenge is specifically about the things you love - no restrictions!

Here is my take on the challenge, featuring many things I love: my daughters, our 15 year baby kitten lol who still runs around and plays with toys like she was a young kitty, and lots of favorite scrapbooking goodies: flowers, chipboard, stamps, stencils, molding paste, mists.... I had a lot of fun putting this together!!


The paper images I used are digital images from the CATfile store. I used paper from the 7 Dots Studio (Soulmates Collection ) and flowers and metal piece from Zeus and Zoe Etsy Shop.



Here you can see lots of layers of stamps, stenciling, flowers and the fun files from CATfile store.  I was able to change the colors of some of the digital files in Photoshop to match my theme.


On the photo I was able to take one of the digital word files and turn it into a "brush" on Photoshop. This allows you to add the text, change the color of it, its opacity, and its size...you can have a lot of fun with digital files that way!


I love the handmade flowers I got from  Zeus and Zoe Etsy Shop as well as the great metal piece that says love, perfect!!

I really enjoyed making  this layout and I hope you like it!!
I also hope you come play along with us this month!!
