Documenting December | GoGoGetaway

I absolutely love this time of year but one of the things I loath is the dark overcast days. It makes photographing layouts a nightmare. Here are a few pages from my December album which I created for GoGo Getaway. The focus was to use the WRMK tearing rulers as the technique base.

I kept the technique quite simple as they are small layouts and I wanted the photos and stories to be the main attraction of the pages.

I've used a mix of old and new stash to create my album this year. However, mostly the papers are from the Simple Stories Merry and Bright Collection.

Getaway Challenges | GoGo Getaway

Each GoGo Getaway there are challenges set by each of the teaching Design Team. We always like to include some of our versions on the blog the month afterwards.

As I wasn't teaching at this event I didn't complete all the challenges like I usually would but here are two that I created to showcase on the blog. Further details of the challenges can be found in the November blog posts.

I've been meaning to post these for months now but I get so behind on my blog because I'm always posting stuff on to Facebook and Instagram. Below are all my projects for Pretty My Page using their fab cut files.

Cut file used: Diagonal Heart Mesh (Digital)

My Happy Place | UK Scrap Addicts

I'm up on the UK Scrap Addicts blog with this bright layout using Cocoa Vanilla Studio 'Bohemian Dreams' collection. The focus of this month was to use 6x6 paper pads. All the patterned paper and many of the embellishments on the page are from the small cut apart sheet in the pad.

I love this collection but sadly it's nearly all gone. I'll just have to treat myself to some more of the new Cocoa Vanilla collections.

Hello Girls | GoGo Getaway DT

Hi everyone, It seems like summer is finally here in the UK. I'm loving the warm weather but not looking forward to the upcoming night shifts. Today I'm up on the GoGo Getaway blog with this layout using Paper Artsy 'Infusions' to create a background.

I'm using up the final bits of my Shimelle 'Glitter Girl' collection before all the new collections hit the shops in the upcoming months.

I've added a load of white machine stitching thanks to Niki Rowland giving me the confidence to get my sewing machine out and add detail to my pages.

I love this photo of my crafty friends Sarah and Chloe from a retreat in June. This was a lovely relaxed weekend.

Delightful Day | UK Scrap Addicts

Hey there, I'm up on the UK Scrap Addicts Blog today with a layout using just one 6x4 photo.

I've been sorting my craft room out and I'm desperately trying to use up some of the stash I've accumulated (so I can purchase more!)

This layout is a little different for something I would normally do because I've used a very bold patterned background.

Hello Beautiful | GoGo Getaway

Hi, I'm up on the GoGo Getaway Blog today with a layout using Cocoa Vanilla Studio 'Bohemian Dreams' collection. The focus of this layout was to use the Bokeh technique from March's GoGo Getaway.

I'd forgotten how much I love a good grid layout, quite simple to put together but so effective.

I've had these Dear Lizzy key and keyhole metal embellishments for years. It was great to get them used on a page.

So Sweet | UK Scrap Addicts

Hello there, I'm up on the UK Scrap Addicts blog with a monochromatic layout using black, white and yellow.

This is one of my favourite layouts ever. I love how bold the yellow is against the black.

Love This | GoGo Getaway Monthly Challenge

Wow, I literally cannot believe we are in May already.  So glad my mojo is back in full swing, my silhouette cameo is behaving and I'm loving documenting my travel memories. I've got a couple of scrappy retreats next month which I'm super excited about.

Today I'm sharing my layout I created for the GoGo Getaway Monthly Challenge.

This month's challenge was to use a sketch created by Design Team member Lorraine. I love to use a sketch and always find it a fantastic jumping off point.

For this layout I've used a selection of products from various different Crate Paper Maggie Holmes Collections. I created a watercolour paint background using the packaging technique and pale colours.

I backed a few cut file florals with patterned paper from the Crate Paper Maggie Holmes Chasing Dreams collection but as they didn't stand out I used my black ink pen to draw round the inner areas of the cut file to make them bold.

Finishing off with a scattering of stars and sequins.

I'd love you to tag me (@terri_scraps) if you join in with this month's challenge.

Happy Scrapping!

Guest Designer | The Wild Hare Kits

This month I was fortunate to be the Guest Designer over at The Wild Hare Kits. This kit company is different to any other I have ever known. You aren't 'subscribed' to the kit, you order them as and when you want them but they are individually curated by Alison especially to cater for your likes and style.

Below is the deluxe kit I was send and it fits me perfectly! I asked for supplies to allow me to scrap my recent travels and this kit was great.

I was able to create six 12x12 layouts and three 6x8 pocket pages with this kit. I still have plenty of left overs to use on future layouts. Here I'm sharing five of the 12x12 pages that have already been shared on social media.

I went for a vertical design incorporating lots of embellishments and banners cut from the Pink Paislee Paige Evans 'Pick me up' collection.

There were some bold green and yellow/rusty tones in some aspects of the kit so I embraced it in this layout documenting my fiancé and his love of steak.

This layout was part of a challenge with The Wild Hare Kits Design Team as this month they decided to scrap lift each other. I was assigned Clair Rigby (@obstinatepursuit) and loved the clean style of her layouts. I was drawn to one with multiple circles to scrap lift.

The layout above was the first I created with the kit. I used the monthly sketch over on the blog and I love how the added mixed media on the background grounds the photo.

I think this is my favourite layout made from the kit. I fussy cut all the moths from the 1canoe2 patterned paper to create this layout.

Thanks for reading my blog today. Don't forget to follow me on Facebook and Instagram for more scrapbooking and arty endeavours.
