Welcome to March ...

 Welcome to our MARCH challenge.  We all love the colour this month and hope you will too.

This year we are continuing with using a base colour and allowing you to use any variation of that colour you might like to use - light, dark, colour ranges just so long as we can tell it IS the monthly colour.  The only slight difference is this year we require you to do your layout using white cardstock as your base.

We also have a simple monthly criteria for you to follow.

 You can use black, dark brown, grey or navy as your accent colour for journaling, titles etc and we will allow green if part of a floral pattern.  We'd love to see you take inspiration from this board and incorporate items you see and inspire you - perhaps you like adding thread to your page, or using gemstones, see circles you can incorporate into your work.  Perhaps you love butterflies or have feline friends you might wish to use as your theme? Please mention what inspired you on your entry.

Criteria - please include lots of bling on your page.

This month we farewell team member Lisa Kynaston who is stepping down due to family commitments.  Thank you so much for sharing all your lovely work with us and all the best for the future.

 Welcome to 2024 and our first challenge of the year with our February RAINBOW Moodboard.  I am putting this up early as I will be overseas on the first with unknown internet access so as they all say, better safe than sorry and a bonus extra week for all of you.

This year we are continuing with using a base colour and allowing you to use any variation of that colour you might like to use - light, dark, colour ranges just so long as we can tell it IS the monthly colour.  The only slight difference is this year we require you to do your layout using white cardstock as your base.

Please mention what inspired you on your entry.


Select your RAINBOW colour of choice - red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo or violet and use it on a WHITE cardstock background to create your layout.

Criteria - please include a rainbow embellishment on your page (this can be a traditional rainbow featuring all the colours)

Our November guest ...

 Please welcome our November guest designer, Sharon Ettwell with her wonderful take on our GREEN moodboard (with spray ink) challenge this month.



I took my inspiration from the beautiful greenery pictured and also the Paint tins with all the different sizes. 

I have used Distress Oxide Spray in twisted citron, mowed lawn, forest moss, using the smooshing technique, then stamped my branches of leaves then fussy cut them out. I also used the twisted citron straight from the bottle for my splatters.

Hello,

My name is Sharon Ettwell and I have been Scrapbooking for almost 20 years, I also love mix media and art journalling.

My Husband Wayne and I have been married for 47 years and we have one Son, a lovely Daughter-in-law and two gorgeous Grand-Daughters, all of whom are the stars of my layouts.

 



Thank you so much for guesting with White with 1 this month. It has been lovely having you join us this month.

There is still plenty of time to join in with our challenge this month - we'd love to see your take using this amazing colour.
