27th Sept -Scrap Lifts

Today's challenge is.... 
Scrap lifts - The design team have each picked layout that another design team member had created for a previous challenge and scrap lifted it. Now we would you to scraplift our scraplifts!! We tried this challenge last year and it seemed to go down well so we are giving it another go!

The design team have posted the layouts they have scraplifted along with their scraplifts...

Elisabetta

This is Kat's layout. I loved the design, the colors and all the white space.

and this is my layout! I used my Clique Kits October kit to create this layout. the picture was taken while I was on vacation with my friends in the south of Italy :)

HeeSun Kim

This is Elisabetta's LO. Simple and beautiful layout! I went to Osaka in July. When I arrived, The festival was held in Osaka. Light the streets for a festival...It was a very beautiful sight.

Jinny 
I am naturally drawn to layouts with multiple photos and liked that aspect of Anna's take on our Food Challenge.  However, I don't normally use plain white cardstock as a base for my pages and was inspired by her use of such here, as well as the amount of white space she utilized.

I also, once again, combined goodies from a couple of different Hip Kit Club packages and had fun creating a custom foundation for my photos with mists and inks.

Kat

For this challenge, I chose to lift this awesome layout by Jinny:

I loved all the fun layering beneath the photos and the sprinkling of embellishments down the page.  Here is my take:

Kerry
Looking back through the DT layouts I found this layout by Vasso from April 2015 to scraplift.

I loved the split page and the dramatic paper on the left. 

For my take on Vasso's page I used gorgeous Heidi Swapp papers.

Tessa
I loved the painty stripes on this layout by Elisabetta from this past May:

The challenge was to use pink, gold and black. Since I didn't get a chance to play along that week, I decided to lift her design and the color palette.

Vasso
I love this page that Kat made for the spring challenge!

and this is mine

I think the design team have really rocked this challenge, great job ladies!

Hope that's inspires you to join in with us, you have until 11th October to join in, we look forward to seeing which layout you pick to scraplift.

13th Sept - Shaped Photos

Todays challenge is to use...
Shaped Photos - create a layout with different shaped photos, they can be any shape you like as long as they are not rectanglar!

We introduce a new deisgn team member today, please welcome Kerry Bruce to the team! I think Kerry will be a great asset to the team  If you want to find out a bit more about Kerry please see the Deisgn Team tab at the top of the page.

The design team really have done a great job with this challenge, here are their layouts...

Elisabetta
circles are always great elements on scrapbooking pages. I used the BigShot to cut a lot of circles in different sizes and I scattered them all over the page! I like how they look!!

HeeSun kim
I have drastically cut the picture into a triangle.

After parting with loved ones.
The remaining ones....

Jinny 
I've been wanting to try hexagon-shaped photos for quite some time, so this challenge gave me the perfect reason to dive in head first.  I've also had these photos of my littlest sitting on my desk for over a month.  So, when my September Hip Kit Club goodies, which boasted colorful papers and playful elements that seemed to match them perfectly, arrived, there was no turning back. 

Kat

I love to incorporate circles in my layout, but I don't do it often.  This challenge was the perfect excuse - plus I scrapped photos that I've had sitting around forever!

Kerry
I played around with my photo's and different shape dies to see which shape worked best and didn't cut any of my girls off. A fairly large hexagon was the answer and I love how using shaped photo's added to the fun feel of my layout.

Seungeun Lee
I often work with photos cut into rectangular or circular.
I wanted to try working with the usual picture of a rhombus shape.
I worked to cut the photos into a rhombus shape in this work.

Vasso Sofou

Hope that inspires you to give shaped photos a go if you havent already! You have until 11th October to enter, we would love to see which shape you pick!
Happy scrapping! 

30th August - Proud

Today challenge is about Proud - What has made you proud lately? It could be anything from having made the prefect cake to other bigger life achievements that you are proud of.

Elisabetta
it's always good to tell a friend that you are proud of her. I love working on my creative journal lately, and this layout is surely one of my favorite. I especially love the quote: it was the perfect add to the page.

Jinny
I have so many things to be proud of, but most recently, I'm proud of my daughter for graduating kindergarten with flying colors.  She is such a good reader and always eager to tackle any challenge set before her.  Secretly, I think she's just trying to outdo her older brother, but a little competition never hurt anyone.  Right?!  I couldn't resist a pink and yellow palette supported by goodies from new Crate Paper and Pinkfresh collections found in my recent Hip Kit Club goodies.

SeungeunLee
Recently,I have nothing to be proud of.I am working in a bakery franchise in korea.
I would like to boast working made cakes.It was decorated with whipped cream and
puree,syrups and so on.
Layered cut is a Graphic 45 papers.Background is silks and stencil,silver paste.

Guest Designer - Paola

This photo was taken by my husband which I am very proud, but there are also other things that I'm currently proud of, so I think this is the perfect way to say that I am very proud of where I am.

What are you proud of? We would love to know please link up your layouts to the side bar. you have until our next challenge, 13th September to enter.

Happy Scrapping!

16th August - Mood Board

Todays Challenge is a lovely Mood board that was created by Tessa.

Here's how it inspired the design team...

HeeSun Kim

Kat

This was such a fun mood board to work with.  I really jumped on the gold and pretty ombre elements to create my layout.

Seungeun Lee

Vasso

Guest Designer - Paola

 I think the mood board is beautiful and it makes me think of Coachella.  For this layout I decide to play with some mixed-media , I use irridicent paper, a cut file from Justnick and some wood veneers to name a few.

Please link up your layouts to the side bar, we would love to see how this mood board has inspired you.

Happy Scrapping!

2nd August - Sketch

It's sketch time here again at The Studio! This time I (Anna) took inspiration from the layout Vasso made for our previous food challenge.

Hope you have fun with this one!

Elisabetta

Jinny
I rotated Anna's sketch 90 degrees to the right and had loads of fun with my July Hip Kit Club goodies this week.

Kat
I don't play with layers too often, but I love that this sketch had a lot of them.  I had so much fun digging through my stash and picking the perfect pieces to layer under my photo!

Seungeun Lee

Vasso

Guest Designer - Paola

This sketch is full of possibilities, I decided to follow the structure almost one hundred percent. I think the pop of color adds fun and brightness  without making it overwhelming. I use products from different brands, Studio Calico, Amy Tangerine, WRMK to mention some .  I am very happy with the result.

The design have done a great job with the sketch, hope they have inspired you to play along with us!
