Timeless by Carole Wright March Mood Board

Hi everyone, Carole here with you today to welcome you to our March Challenge Mood Board.

 I love this mood board, these are my colours and style so I really enjoyed making this layout.

 This is a picture of Jessie doing a photo shoot in a wedding dress. They were at the beach, it was freezing cold, she was really patient and it was so worth it as they ended up with this fabulous photo. I think she did really well.

So I used the photos and the statement for my inspiration.

I have used Blue Fern Studios papers and chipboard for this layout and have entered it into their March Sketch Challenge here Blue Fern Studios

Dream Layout - Special Guest Designer - Anna-Karin Evaldsson

Hello Everyone

We have a super duper Special Guest Designer today and she is an amazingly talented lady and super nice lady too...a warm welcome to Anna-Karin Evaldsson.

Hello! I am Anna-Karin and I live in Stockholm, Sweden. I have two boys who often join me in my studio, although the little one is still too small to stamp. I have been doing arts and crafts my whole life. After starting to make cards in 2002, I began to scrapbook two years later. I had found my home among paper, stamps, ink, paint, dies, photographs and embellishments. My hands are ink stained almost daily and I enjoy switching between different projects: cards, tags, mini-books, art journaling, layouts, canvases and 3-D/home décor. 

I love trying out new and old techniques and many of my projects have mixed-media elements. Building scenes, playing with texture and colour are some of my favourite things. It is wonderful to think about everything you can create with just paint and a white sheet of paper. Every project is a creative adventure and the possibilities are truly endless.  You can find me at my blog: www.layersofink.blogspot.com, and there you will also find links to my YouTube channel and other social media.

Anna-Karin created this gorgeous page for this challenge.

I am so happy to be a guest designer at Berry71Bleu today and I loved the gorgeous March mood board, perfect for spring. It has been some time since I scrapped older photos, and for this layout I used a school photo of myself. At the time, I really disliked this particular photo, although now, I can’t even remember why. Because of that reason, I thought it fit well together with the great sentiment on the mood board, which I stamped as my journaling next to the photo. 

I took some step photos when I made my layout, you can find them on my blog, if you want to read more about it: http://layersofink.blogspot.com/2016/03/field-of-flowers-tutorial.html 

This page is absolutely delightful and beautiful, thanks ever so much Anna-Karin for creating it for this challenge at Berry71Bleu.

Please pop over to Anna-Karin's blog to see more of her beautiful and inspiring work! ;-)

Here's a reminder of the soft and gorgeous mood board.

Decoupaged Mini Album by Denise van Deventer

Hello Everyone

It's Denise here today, to share a decoupaged Mini Album with you.

It's my sisters Birthday coming up at the end of the month and so I wanted to make something special for her. It's a Happiness is Homemade album.

I used the soft and pretty colouring from the mood board, as inspiration for this project.

So firstly, here's the cover.

I decoupaged the cover, and then added some gesso stencilling, some paints and inks to give it a vintage feel.

  I used the Soiree Collection from BoBunny to create this little album, as the colours were perfect!

Here are the inside pages.  I used lots of little bits and pieces, along with lots of stamping.

I really love how this album turned out and really hope that my sister will love it too! ;-)

So now it's your turn.....

What will you create?

Spring Card Set from Cathi

Hi crafty friends, Cathi here! It is definitely starting to feel like spring here in Ireland and I have been totally inspired by Tusia's gorgeous moodboard to create some lovely spring like pastel cards!! I took the colors and the shapes of the flowers and added some butterflies all from the moodboard below:

Here is my first card.

I just love all the 7 Dots papers, but the gorgeous Illumination collection is PERFECT for spring! I love the soft muted pastel colors!  I also used a sticker from the Soulmates collection for this!  I had some Prima flowers and vines from my stash that worked perfectly and added a beautiful butterfly from Reneabouquet. I finished off the card with some stitching along the edges.

My second card also features the Illumination paper and the sticker from the Soulmates collection.  I chose another Prima flower and vine and Reneabouquet butterfly to match the moodboard. These two cards in the set work great together and I think follow the moodboard well!!  Will you join us for this challenge and make your own gorgeous spring colored projects??
