Charms Creations December/January challenge 2 - Creative Team share

Welcome to the December/January challenge at Charms Creations.
We have had 2 moodboards to do over the holiday period, both with the bonus of uploading by January 31st. Here is the second moodboard:

For this challenge, I chose a photo from a holiday 5 years ago, in sunny Queensland, which on this particular day, was NOT sunny, there was a huge tropical downpour, that we got caught up in, in Brisbane's Southbank area. Rain never stops us if we have a plan, lol, and our plan this day was to go on the big wheel and have fun. We did, a little damp, but it was ok. 

For my layout, I have used Charms Creations cute clouds and DIY heavenly heart, that I sprayed with Prima colour bloom, then stencilled with Bo Bunny glitter paste, nice effect. 

Sure do hope you get a chance to do the challenges, and have some fun.

Show Us Your Stuff January Challenge - DT layout

I would like to share with you that I have been selected as a Design Team member for the Show Us Your Stuff Challenge Blog for this year, and I'm feeling very honoured to be on the design team, my first one. This month the challenge is to create a layout using this very nice sketch by Amanda Hartmann:



So for my layout, I used these photos of my children Melanie and Kieran from a few years ago, having a paddle at Ocean Grove Beach, on our way home from a weekend at Torquay.

On my layout I decided not to use a portion of ricrac (almost looks likes waves), rather than taking it the whole way across the page. The title wasn't working in the bottom left hand corner for me, so I brought that up closer to the photos and used a small cluster instead in that corner. That is what a challenge is about isn't it, interpreting it to suit what works best, as long as the components are there.

For my handmade items, I used a button flair from D-lish Scraps, and a map marker from Charms Creations, 2 of my favourite Australian Designers of handmade items.

So here to share is my layout:

Hope you feel inspired to give this challenge a go.
