This is our story by Virág Réti with video tutorial

Hi My Crafty Friends,

Today I am going to show you my brand new mixed media layout. I do not like using vivid embellishments and the shades of pink and purple, but the monthly moodboard inspired me. 

I cut out flourish motif, butterflies and pigeons from a printable sheet and started to decorate the page. I must say that the result is totally out of my comfort zone, but I really like this page. 

This is the first memory that I keep from the new chapter of my life. 

So many of my smiles begin with this layout, because our story has started... :)

Here is the process video:

Special Guest Designer - Amelie Jutras

Hello Everyone

We have a super, duper Guest Designer today.

A warm welcome to Amelie Jutras! ;-) Amelie was last month's winner! ;-)

Here's a little bit about Amelie! ;-)

 My bio:

Hello, My name is Amelie. I live in Quebec, Canada, Rimouski more precisely, a city located on the shores of beautiful St. Lawrence River. I live with my partner of 13 years, as well as Clara our 6 year old daughter and Albert our golden retriever. I'm manager for the family business.

I discovered scrapbooking by chance, passing a newsstand it 12 years ago. I immediately had the bite, it became a passion for me. I like to create my background pages myself, I love the spray inks, powders, the modeling paste and masks. I love getting my hands dirty !!! I also love the stamps and dies of doilies or foliage. And of course, the flowers !!! I am part of the creative team Scrapbook Tendance, a Quebec scrapbooking shop, Scrap FX, an Australian company chipboard and MC Collection an Quebec company.

Thank you!

Amélie

Here's the gorgeous page that Amelie created.

Let's get a closer look at some of those fabulous details.

Thanks so much Amelie for this fabulous inspiration! ;-)

Please pop over to Amelie's blog to see more of her beautiful work! ;-)

You Never Know When You are Making a Memory by Denise van Deventer

Hello Everyone

It's Denise here today to share a mixed media layout with you, for this month's challenge.

Here's a reminder of the mood board.

I took inspiration from the blooms and colours in the flower wreath.

So here's what I created.

This photo was taken a few weeks ago and is definitely a special memory of my Mom and 2 aunts.

I used the Snap-It Collection from Celebr8.

I used a gorgeous chipboard piece from Blue Fern studios and fussy cut most of the leaves, flowers and elements.

I stamped the title of my page with a beautiful stamp from ScrapBerry's.

I also added some pieces of lace, which I have had for ages. I thought it would add a nice, soft touch to this page.

There's still some time to play along with the mood board.

We would love to see what you create.

Sorry about the bad photos. Here up in Northern Sweden it is a bit difficult to take good photos this time of the year.

 

Some closeups.

Still a lot of time to join our January challenge. Looking forward to all your beautiful projects. :)
