S.E.A. Aquarium, a layout for a challenge at Archi-Scraps

I've created the above layout for this month's challenge at Archi-scraps where I am a Designer. This month's inspiration building is amazing.

The extra criteria is the sea.

First of all, I have the word sea in my title. We went to Singapore on holidays this year and visited the S.E.A. Aquarium. It's a really incredible place with loads of diversity.
When I looked at the building it just reminded me the massive cylindrical aquarium that was at S.E.A. It was filled with coral and beautiful fish. I have also used all of the colours of the image and made some sea plants with paper also representing the curved lines of the building structure.

There is a great Christmassy prize on offer so go and check it out. You have to be in it to win it.

A stamped layout with leaves

I created this layout for Scrapbooking Top 50's Week 4 of their Monopoly challenge. I got Stamp St, so use at least 2 stamps and leaves. I have leaves in my photo, 2 of the stamps have leaves and I've added 2 Rainbow Splendour yellow felt leaves. I have a bee stamp, a bird, 2 birds in a nest and a vine leaf stamp which I've coloured in.

I Love Rick

It's true, anyone who knows me well knows that I love Rick Springfield.  I have created a layout about him for week 3 challenge in the Monopoly game at SBT50. I rolled a 1 this week which gave me this:



Absolutely no problem I thought.  My touch of colour is red. My hidden journalling is on a black and white tag behind the photo on the left.

Great photos, no? In case you might have picked up on the the fact that my photos are not taken from in the audience let me tell you, I had the special privilege of viewing the concert from the back side of the stage. At one point he turned around the gestured to me (and the other 2 girls I guess). Swoon.

Back to School layout for SBT50 Monopoly Wk#2

Clean and Simple:
This is a light and elegant style. A Photo and journaling is a key element of a page. A selected background is sole-colored, unostentatious, mostly in light tones, and takes the largest part of the page. Minimum of simple embellishments is used here. Generally, close-up photos could be seen in this style.


I rolled a 4 this week for the Scrapbooking Top 50 Monopoly week 2 challenge - STYLES. This gave me the take a chance box. I chose to do Clean Street. If you know my work at all you will certainly agree that the majority of my layouts are of the clean and simple variety. So this week was easy peasy for me. I reckoned I've nailed it this week.

'Deed I Do for mag Monday at Papercrafters

This year I joined a chorus called A Capella West. On 24 July 2013 they had a Christmas in July concert on chorus night. Quartets and small groups performed and afterwards we all ate and drank the goodies everyone brought along.
When these photos were taken I was still a prospective member. I had not sung in front of anyone yet. I was asked to perform a song I was learning for my audition in a small group. The top photo shows me doing that. It was a lot of fun. In the bottom photo is Josephine and I in the middle. Josephine was supposed to go up and perform 'Deed I do in the group. She dragged me up with her so I had to sing again. I didn't mind that. All good practice. I'm the one in the purple pants.

This layout was created for Week #26 magazine Monday challenge for Papercrafter's Corner.  There were 3 inspiration pieces. I chose the Rolling Stones music cover. Pretty interesting cover with Some Girls as the title. I immediately thought of my chorus singers. I've used 2 long photos with lots of ladies singing and listed their names underneath like the cover.



Update
My layout was a winner.

Layout for Scrapbookit - Explore

Above is the very appealing sketch for October's challenge at Scrapbookit. I felt compelled to do a page for it.  I started by adding a border in each corner using a stencil and 2 coloured pens. I added a cool travel pp and two types of mist. I loved The Avenues door pp by Bo Bunny.  I felt it went really well with my photo. I had to print it in black and white as that's the additional criteria for the challenge. I love how the sunlight looks in the photo. Well done to my husband with this lucky effect of his photography.
