Stamps Ahead

 This clean and simple layout was created for a challenge at White with One . We were to be inspired by one colour in this mood board and it was to be a summer theme.  The photo is of my amazing great nephew and taken on New Years Eve 2024. Now if you squint into the Kiwi drink, top right I was inspired by the 2nd layer of colour that just happened to match the sunset in the photo.   I firstly sprayed 2 sheets of white cardstock with Tattered Angels Glimmer Mist Grape Ape (a very old bottle in my stash).  The second sheet I cut into strips and used punch on one edge of paper and then I simply scrunched up the strips before adhering to the layout alternating sprayed and white. My arthritic fingers were not happy I am sure - but I persevered! Thank you looking, Margaret

This is a layout I have created for White with 1 challenges - this month it is to use Orange (or any of its tones) and to use stamping.  There was a mood board for inspiration. This was the mood board: My inspiration - the windows in the building bottom right. A clean and simple layout.  I stamped the squares and needed to highlight them by going around with a black pen.  I used Abandoned Coral paint for stamping/chipboard and I did check and Coral is an orange tone (it is also in the pink tones but stronger as an orange tone). This mood board is also working, in conjunction, with Soul Scrappers this month so I have also posted to their challenges as well. Thank you for looking, Margaret

 Here is a layout I have completed for a challenge at Soul Scrappers Challenge page The mood board: I am in the process of removing photos from the old albums that we used to use!  When I saw the challenge I thought - my 21st the cake icing/candles were pink! Okay, I will use those photos.  The papers and embellishments (except for die cut numbers and pennants) were from Kaisercraft Breathe collection.  The tags had blue writing and so I went with that for die cuts I made. I like that the layout has a retro feel even though I was not really heading in that direction. The top two photos show me looking at the cake that had the candles arranged in the shape of 21. There is a little bow in my hair - well it came from the cake. The bottom photo shows my father and I, as I was cutting the cake at the local church hall that we used for the party - the church ladies catered.  There was dancing and a wonderful time was had by all.  And, somewhere I have the '21st k...
