ARTastic Design Team October 2019 - Frames

The challenge this month is to use frames in your layout. I have used the new Dusty Attic chipboard frames

White...with 1 Challenge - Purple August 2019.

This month the challenge is purple and there was an optional sketch to work from. I love using sketches so had to use it!

This is my interpretation. I immediately knew that I had to use a photo I had of the Jacaranda trees in Spring in Pretoria, South Africa where I used to live. I miss that magnificent show of nature

ARTastic Design Team September 2019 - Monkeying Around

The them this month is HUMOUR

This is my take on the theme. I found myself reminiscing about the days when my (now) 17 years old son was a toddler and loved to hide and climb all over the house - typical boy! He certainly gave us a few laughs and a few grey hairs too!!

ARTastic Design Team August 2019 - Be You

The artwork this month was a painting with shapes. Any shapes was the brief and I chose triangles.



this is my take on the artwork

White...with 1 July Challenge Marine Green - Dream Big

ARTastic Design Team July 2019 - #beauty

This month the challenge is to use paint on your layout. Below is the inspiration art work.





This is my interpretation. Using Kaisercraft Rosabella range, I used paint to splatter on the background, I painted the chipboard, I painted through a stencil and I painted some of the flowers to tone in with the colour scheme.

Guest Designer White..with 1 June 2019

I am excited to have been asked to be a Guest Designer at White...With 1 this month.
I'm a South African-born Kiwi and have been scrapbooking for 15+ years. I emigrated with my husband and son 10 years ago to Christchurch, New Zealand and have continued my passion. I owned a scrapbook shop in SA and designed kits and taught classes for my shop - my dream job! I was a finalist in a competition called "Cream of the Crop" and my work was published in a beautiful book. I love using sketches and mood boards as a starting point, my style is clean and uncluttered and I have to add flowers to all my layouts, even masculine ones! I have been experimenting out of my comfort zone with water colouring and mixed media.



This is my take on the sketch and colour.
