July ATDML Moodboard challenge

Time for the ATDML July Mood Board challenge ahead of their virtual crop day tomorrow. Many of you will be thinking about or off on your holidays soon so this board is for you. Where do you dream of going? Have you been there? are you planning a trip?
The wood and outdoors pictures from this board open up many images you can scrap and you can include bird elements and leaf/branch punches too.  I love the distressed inky feel of the bottom right image and I also like the idea of using the block design with a circle feature of the board itself. Lots of ideas there for you, simply look at the image and be inspired to create.

Look forward to seeing your challenge pages in our ATDML Mood board gallery and don't forget to check out the blog tomorrow with three virtual crop classes from the team. 

June ATDML Moodboard challenge

You can't fail to be cheery with this month's ATDML mood board, time to get our happy scrappy on! Yes it is the night before the June virtual crop and the ATDML team are asking you to be inspired by our June Mood board.

Those of you with Silhouette's or other die-cutting machines could have a field day with this one and the font image! Or do you have birthday photos to scrap of cake or balloons? Maybe you have photos from summer ice-creams or a large floral paper you have been waiting to use... I even really like the washi tape feel to the bottom of the board, did you see that before I mentioned it?

We look forward to seeing your creations shared on our ATDML gallery.

May Mood Board with ATDML

As always on the night before ATDML's May Virtual Crop  we share a Mood Board inspiration challenge .What do you see when you look at this? Where do you get inspired and how will it translate to a layout? I think I sometimes have more fun finding these mood boards and trying to see a scrapping process/technique or idea when I look at them, which I hope will inspire others

Will you be inspired by the top left box containing the lacy overlay of a print not too dissimilar to damask, or the next image along of a garden - will this inspire you to scrap a photo or your garden or the Chelsea Flower show or another horticultural event? There are frames in the right middle image as well as bricks, a repeating pattern in the centre and stripes in the bottom right; all of these could inspire a page.  Alternatively you could be inspired by the green colours with the hint of teal and grey. 

For the mood board challenge, simply look at the board and let it inspire your layout, then share with ATDML on their Facebook Mood board gallery. 

ATDML Virtual Crop weekend

Pop over to the ATDML blog for three classes this weekend from the design team,and whilst you are there don't forget to check out last nights Mood Board challenge for April. It's a funky one and I created this layout last weekend at the retreat to illustrate how I was inspired.

Enjoy you day crafting if you manage to grab some time. I am spending most of my day at sporting adventures with the kids, swimming first and then presidents day at our Rugby Club in the afternoon, hoping the weather holds for a pleasant day! Assuming I am not too exhausted after all that I may play with pretty paper this evening and use up some more of my Mind The Scrap April kit.

ATDML March Mood Board Challenge

Hello Scrappy friends (and others who read my random rambling anyway!)
It's the third weekend of the month again (swung around quickly if you ask me) which means it is time for the ATDML cybercrop weekend which always kick starts with a challenge. I love this board, the colours and the layout of the board itself and drew my inspiration from both aspects (but mostly the layout)

These are some of my favourite photos  from our New York trip last year. 

Hope you play along with this challenge too. 

ATDML February Mood Board challenge

Time for another mood board challenge as we hit the third Friday of the month ahead of the ATDML virtual crop day. The mood board has SOOOOO much to draw inspiration from and was shared on another site I follow so I just had to play along with this one and then share it you.

If you play along and get inspired by this challenge do share your pages over on the ATDML Facebook gallery, we'd love to see them!
