All in White: Jean

I chose to scrap the newspaper announcement from our wedding. Actually this is a photo copy of the original which is from 1975!! Yes - in a month we will have been married for 37 years. For this challenge, I used white flowers but I stamped some of the layers with a script stamp. I painted the Maya Road wood element white and also stamped that. I wove trim and pearls among the flowers and used netting for bows. White glittery letters were perfect for the title. Doing all white is not as difficult as you think! Give it a try!

All in White: Michelle

I created this page using a bunch of different paper textures. White Cardstock as my background and my border punches, Glitter paper, Translucent Vellum & Mulberry Paper. For my border punches I used:
Doily Lace Edge Punch
Frosty Village Edge Punch
Halloween Punch Around The Page Set Cracks
Arch Lattice Edge Punch
I torn the edges of the Mulberry and Vellum papers. Then layered all of the papers. Starting from the bottom with the Glitter Paper and then going up with the Mulberry and Translucent Vellum. Tucked my pictures in to give the snow drift effect. Went back and added the Lattice Border and tied knots in the White Bridal Tulle before attaching with Glue Dots. On the Frosty Village Border I added Liquid Applique. Which goes on like glue and if you heat it puffs up, for that snow covered roof effect. Since there was a bunch of power/phone lines running through the barn photo. I added some white rub-ons to that picture. Using the negative pieces (that remain from your punches)from the Cracks Corner and Edge punches. I attached them directly to the edge of my photo.
Attached my chipboard Snowflake, which I added some Prism Glitter to. Added the title "Ski" using the Glittered Chipboard Letters and "trip" my Liquid Applique(heated)
Since this is the first page of the Ski Trip I wanted to show the scenes from our trip to the Mountain! This was back in 1994, my 1st Ski Trip and Last! I am more of a snowman building, sledding, tubing, watching and picture taking type of girl!

All in White: Penny

This challenge was indeed a challenge! I had never tried to make an all white layout before, and this one put me to the test! I took this photo of my granddaughter Madison quite some time ago, just waiting on the right layout to use it on, and it seemed to fit perfectly with this theme. I ended up making almost all of my embellishments for this challenge just because most of the "all white" embellishments that I had, ended up having some other colors on them even if they were just in small amounts. For the flowers I used mainly McGill punches, Versa Mark ink, and glitter, with an assortment of brads and sequins, to hold them in place. To give this layout added texture I used mulberry paper, and various edged scissors on an assortment of paper strips. The bows on this layout were pre-made.
The dress I free hand drew, and then I pleated torn paper to give it a ruffled effect, then I added the lace, and sequins. I also added a piece of vellum which I had stamped images on, with white ink.

I wasn't prepared for the hardest part of this challenge however and that was in taking the photo of an all white page! After several failed attempts I finally had to take it outside to get a decent shot and even then the name portion of this layout, which I used bling on, didn't quite show up as well as I'd wished it would have. Good luck on your own "white" layout, I think I may try another one soon. Happy Scrapping! Love Penny

If It's Groovy June Challenge by Groovy Deb♥

This month I have challenged the Groovy Chicks to put their spin on an all white layout. I was thinking about June brides in white when this came to me, but did not ask for wedding layouts in particular, but instead to just go as far as possible with white. I hope you will enjoy as we each show what we came up with over the next few days! It is harder than it seems and I know that because I always do the same challenges, lol! Here is mine with all the white I could add :) The only color comes in from me and Baby Katelyn back when she was only a month old. I did use a gray gel pen to outline the white in order for it to show up on camera. I used spray adhesive and added the fun fur behind the layout hoping to give it a softer feel like a baby blanket.

Come play with us! We really want to see what you can do with this trying challenge!

I just love this pic of my daughter and me at a friend’s party so much. I just had to scrapbook it, Of course! :) When I grabbed this brown and tan paper it just went perfectly with the colors in our pic and so I just matted the pic on brown cardstock added a sticker tag and butterfly sticker as embellies and accented the butterflies with stickles and Prima gems for a quick but girly page. Tfl!

March Groovy Challenge

We all know the term monochromatic right? Well this month I challenged the design team to create layouts using only their scraps and to stick to all one color scheme. Let me show you how it turned out. The twist was that the title could be made of anything and any other color if they so wish. Come on and play! Email me with your layout and you may be the winner of this month's giveaway :)
