November Challenges, and a Publication in Scrapbookers Journal

 Hello there, I hope this finds you well and enjoying the last couple of days of November before we turn the calendar over to the last month of the year and enter into the festive season.. I for one, do not feel like Christmas, but it is coming ready or not.. This year has flown by, with a few ups and downs along the way, as I am sure we all have had.. But Christmas can be a kind of reset, before the new year, and I pray this year you will have a blessed Christmas season.. and can ponder on the real reason for the season..

Now on to sharing some layouts I have created this month.. The first one is for the challenge over at Black Magic Sketches on Facebook which looks like..



A sketch and a color scheme, to use at least 2 of the colors and be inspired by the sketch.. I have used mainly the brown and the bluey green and stuck pretty closely to the sketch.

I have used a Charms Creations heart and tab on my page.. You can find Charms Creations on Facebook HERE!!!  Hand made embellishments a little local business.. (just a free plug!!!)

What a lovely day


The next layout is for a challenge over at Soul Scrappers on Facebook and I chose to create for the Tic tac Toe which looks like.. 



I went down the middle row, chipboard, one photo and spray ink. I used the ink with a stencil and then I flicked it over my page, and the chipboard is from Kaisercraft and Scrapmatts.

Fussy cut hibiscus and leaves and the chipboard layered behind..

Sunkissed



The next challenge I have created a layout for is for Whats in the Bickie Tin  and this month it is a Tic Tac Toe and looks like..


I went with the first row down, string, chipboard and paint.. I began my layout by putting dabs of green and white  Kaisercraft paint on my page and using a spatula wiped over the back ground adding more white until I was happy with the color, then I had to let that dry before adding some stamping and rub ons to the back ground. I also painted the chipboard with water colors, I am not sure of the brand of chipboard, it has been in my stash for years!!!

Little moments that matter



I have used the lovely 49and Market papers Botanical Buzz.

and lastly I had a layout in the Scrapbookers Journal online mag  just in the Gallery section.. Always a thrill to see a layout join many others in this online magazine.. Issue 18 page 42..

Gorgeous

I have had these papers for years and years, an old favourite. Lots of fussy cutting and layering.. You can check out the Scrapbookers Journal on Facebook HERE!!!!  And see what is coming up in the next mag and perhaps you could create something to share too! 

Well thanks for coming by, and I hope things are going well with you and yours.. Do take care, and until next time...
