Dreams are For Chasing: August Challenge Layout by Cathi

Hi! Cathi here and I'd love to share my take on Tanya's Yellow Mood Board Challenge. I used some gorgeous 7 Dots Studios papers and stickers for this layouts as well as the stunning Blue Ferns Studio Fancy Signage chipboard.

Here you can see the detail on the Blue Ferns Chipboard. I inked the piece with Crushed Olive Distress Ink and Black Soot Distress Ink around the edges. I used the Visible Image Bronte Border for the script stamp details and fussy cut a photo of my daughter doing what she loves best, dancing en pointe!! I just love the Prima resin pointe shoes, they are just perfect for this!

I love the cutout title Dreams are For Chasing, part of the 7 Dots Studio Verano Azul collection. The background paper is from the Christmas Yuletide collection! I tucked in a few rub on images from Tim Holtz on the layout, added some black ink splatters, some masking and some stamping to the background.

I have my daughter dancing around the gorgeous Blue Ferns Studios chipboard column. I have added some Petaloo flowers around the layout including one for her little tutu!! The stickers are from yet another new collection from 7 Dots Studios, Lost and Found...all inspirations for my daughter who has decided to hang this one up in her room!

Here is the moodboard for this month! Perfect for the summer!!

I hope you can find the time to join our challenge this month!

Beautiful by Dana Tatar

Hi! Dana Tatar here today sharing my take on Tanya's Yellow Mood Board Challenge. I selected a nice mix of yellow patterned papers from the Blue Fern Studios Paisley and Vine and Deja Vu collections and some patterned papers from my Zeus and Zoe Kit for this layout.

I applied a light layer of gesso and some yellow mist splatters to the base patterned paper and then built up layers of patterned paper, sheet music, fabric and zippers.

I used the Blue Fern Studios Fancy Signage to support the lamp post that I cut from the Deja Vu Luminaires patterned paper.

I cut the "Beautiful" portion from the Blue Fern Studios A Beautiful Mess chipboard quote for use as a title. I colored the word with white gesso, yellow acrylic paint and Rock Candy Distress Stickles.

I finished this page with a layered butterfly embellishment. The bottom layer is one of the butterflies from the Blue Fern Studios Gabrielle Butterfly Set and the top layer is the Calista Butterfly which is available from Kay's Etsy Shop.

I hope you can find the time to join our challenge this month! 

We have some amazing prizes up for grabs!

Guest Designer - Sanderijn de Bruin-Mittendorff - Hello Bliss Layout

Hello Everyone

We have a super, duper, awesome, Special Guest Designer today....please welcome Sanderijn de Bruin-Mittendorff

Here's a little about Sanderijn.

I am Sanderijn de Bruin-Mittendorff, I live in The Netherlands. I started scrapping in 2007, but when my daughter was born in 2009 I took some sort of sabbatical for 5 years, because I didn't had the time or the place to create a lot. In May this year we cleaned out the attic and made a perfect room for me, so now I am spending a lot of time there! I love that in the 5 years I wasn't creating, lots of products I already wish to use back in 2009, are now in store and for sale. I love sprays, inks, metallic paints, inka gold, pigment powders, mica powders, gesso, stencils and modelling paste. Just recently I bought myself a Big shot, and I am using die cuts for the first time in my layouts. I am always challenging myself to do different projects, different things I normally wouldn't do, to extend my horizon and to develop more techniques. I am not quite sure how to describe my style, but I am a bit perfectionistic and that gets sometimes in my way...

You can find me here:

About my layout 'Hello bliss' (you are my sunshine) based on the moodboard:

I immediately got ideas when I saw the moodboard. I used white Bazzil cardstock, painted some lace with Dylusions yellow paint (made a spray bottle mixed with water), added washi tape and a stencil using white and black modelling paste. Splattered some inks black and yellow (Dylusions) on my background as well. I used several die cuts (spellbinders and Heidi Swapp words). The frame and the little piece in the corner had some spray and some embossing powder over it (Lindy's Stamp gang). I used a stamp from Dylusions to create my flags. The butterflies are also a stamp.

Thank you for the oppportunity to be a guest designer!

Love, Sanderijn

Sanderijn created this stunning, sunny, gorgeous and beautiful page!

Here are some close-ups.

Thanks so much Sanderijn for this wonderful inspiration! ;-)

"Flying" Card by Marie Johansson

This time I bring you a card. Some people say that yellow is a difficult color to use. I don´t agree! I use a lot of yellow in my projects - have always done so this challenge was perfect for me. 

I have used a patterned paper from 7 Dot´s Studio and painted the leaves yellow with Glimmer Mist. The Chipboard from Blue Fern Studios was painted with Acrylic paint to blend in.
