"Moment Captured" by DT Megan

Hello Crafters! Today Megan inspires us with this amazing layout:

This is what Megan said about her layout: 

"This is a layout of my sons and their cousin, Will playing in their cousin, Micah's room. I love how I captured the boys playing in a pink room! I used mostly Dear Lizzy and Amy Tangerine on this layout. My stash items were:

S- Stitching - I hand stitched the yellow feather using an Amy Tangerine template.

W- Washi tape - I used a strip of yellow washi tape on the left of the layout and a strip of multi-colored washi under the photo.

A- Arrow - I added a pink chipboard arrow in the right corner of the photo.

K - Kraft - I used Kraft paper with a chevron design in the middle of the layout."

"My Cute Little Girl" LO by DT Tanti

Happy Hump Day! :)
Tanti brings us today's lovely inspiration:

Here's what Tanti said about her layout:

"I 've realized that I haven't done much layout about my daughter as a baby. It's just because all of the pictures were taken with an analog camera and most of them are already glued in the ordinary photo album. So I don't have much photo left to scrap. But I finally found these old photos of her as she was one year old (she's fifteen now) and decided to make a girly layout with these pictures for this challenge.

I used from my stash the old DCWV paper collection „Madly In Love“. 

I did the machine stitching along the right side of my page.

Two Washi Tapes that I don't know from which company they are.

Two arrow paper clips from IKEA.

And the kraft journaling card is from K&Company."

"Nap Time" LO by DT Kerry

DT Kerry brings us this fabulous inspiration today:

Here's what Kerry said about her layout:

"I am currently trying to scrap some of my older/less than perfect photo's and this one of my middle daughter is from 1999!   I love hand stitching so it was no contest about which type I would choose, I used light pink tread to highlight the painted sunburst.  The MME chevron washi tape is my favourite and I used a strip down the side of the photo and also mounted some on card and cut out.

The pink arrow on the photo is actually a post-it tab and the awesome printed kraft paper is of course American Crafts.  It's been a long time since I have done a 'pink' page but the kraft works so well at toning it down!  Will you be using pink, red or a mix for your page? I'm looking forward to seeing it."

"Play all Day" LO by Kelly

Happy Monday! :) 
Today's fabulous inspiration comes from DT Kelly:

Here's what Kelly said about her layout:

"Play All Day - I really enjoyed this challenge! I recently discovered my sewing machine won't work so I did some faux stitching (S) in the corners of the layout and the corners of the photo mat. I added the blue strips of washi tape (W) after I had the layout in place and thought it needed more pop of color. The wood veneer arrows (A) are truly some of my favorites from Studio Calico and the kraft paper (K) is my background and photo matt layers. I used many different scraps of papers for this layout and a current sketch from Stuck Sketches for inspiration."

"True Love" LO by DT Robin

Today Robin brings us this lovely inspiration:

Robin said this about her layout:

"I’m not much on romance, but I sure did enjoy making this layout. I used some very old stash and some pretty new stash.

S. - Stitching (machine, hand or faux), I hand stitched the word LOVE. The stitching stencil is from Amy Tangerine.

W. - Washi Tape-I don’t remember where that red bicycle Washi tape is from, but I love the look of it on my layout. Normally, I would think I have to have pictures of a bicycle or a bicycle riding trip on the layout to use that tape.

A. – Arrow-the arrow and outlined heart is from Freckled Fawn.

K. - Kraft paper/embellishment-the kraft background paper is also from Amy Tangerine. And the Kraft ticket is from Tim Holtz."

"I think this is such a clever Challenge and was mostly inspired by the photos! Then I found this sweet cut file for the Silhouette.

"Love You" LO by Dulcinea

Today's fabulous inspiration comes from DT Dulcinea:

For this challenge I want to try a subtle ombre look. I painted the background using acrylic paint and gesso for a 50% pink look. For the SWAK challenge, I made a hand stitching word on a piece of cardstock for my title, I use some strips of gold washi tape for lining my title and embellish, I use some clips and stickers on an arrow shape, and a piece of kraft paper framing my niece picture. I want a romantic feel so I grab some stickers from Hello Again collection by Carta Bella, some daisies cut with my silhouette for a bit of texture and some “kraft” color sequins spread on my layout. I love the colors, I think it made the black and white picture pops. Now it's your turn, I want to see what you created with the challenge!

Make sure you come back tomorrow for more inspiration! :)
