Colour Scheme Monday


Colour scheme time! 
Have a play around with this muted toned scheme and then come back here to show us what you've created.  
The scheme this week is inspired by the colours of our very own Scrap Whisper blog. 
Purple is a hard colour to scrap with though - this should be a challenge!

Friday Sketch


Sketch inspiration for you this fine Friday, we hope that you get some fun from it this weekend! We think this would be perfect for a square instagram photo for example! Maybe something with a retro or vintage feel perhaps?

We'd love to see what you create with this sketch! Please come back here and link us to your creations!

Scraplift Wednesday


Hey there! Hope you are having a great week so far. It's been pretty rainy, damp and wet in the UK, silly thing is though we're suffering a drought at the same time our streets are flooding. True Story! 

Anyway - check out the layout above created by the lovely Nilsa! We are challenging you to scraplift it! :)

Have fun and don't forget to come back here and link us to your creations.

Colour Scheme Inspiration


Our colour scheme today is unusual in the fact that there is no colour! The challenge is to scrap a layout entirely in black and white - even the photo, the embellishments, the paper and card.... everything! 

When you're done, come back here and link us to your creations! :)

Friday Sketch


This sketch calls for one large portrait photo! You might want to play around with some paint for your background, or perhaps tear up some pretty paper. Add a tag, some swirls and hearts or change the embellishments to suit your photos!

We hope this sketch inspires you this weekend! If it does, please link us to your creations using the Mr Linky below.

Wednesdays Lift


Scrapwhispers is all about scraplifting layouts! Feel like some practice? Why not try to lift the above layout created by Georgina? You can choose to use one or more of the elements on this page for inspiration.

Perhaps you like the colour scheme, or maybe the arrows jump out at you. The placement and size of the photos may appeal or the giant scalloped circle in the middle of the page. Have you tried dividing your page in two by using a vertical strip of paper and do you journal straight onto the background paper? Stickers are also a prominent feature of this page, highlighting and indicating the story of the photos.

Give it a try - scraplift this page then let us see what you've created! Have fun and Happy Wednesday to you!

Who wants to play?

Okay - we're ready! A new round of Scrap Whispers will start in 2 weeks time! Who wants to play? We have limited spaces this time round so it will be on a strictly first come first serve basis - BUT there will be a wait list too so if you end up on the wait list you can play first next time! By limiting the number of places we should be able to get through the game a lot quicker! EMAIL Georgina to sign up!

Also, whilst writing - you may have seen a few subtle changes around here! You have - life generally is hectic for all the Design Team and so whilst challenges will still be posted I'm afraid you will no longer get layouts created by the Design Team for added inspiration! We're making the blog more of a one stop inspiration shop for you and returning the focus to our main team game instead.

Challenges and inspiration will be posted daily to the blog too so you will be getting more from us by way of inspiration. You can choose to play along with all or none of the challenges, but hopefully it will provide you with a place to come when you're looking to get yourself out of a scrap booking rut! (not that any of you ever do I'm sure as you create amazing things!). Down the right hand side of this page are some new buttons which when you click on them will link you to all the posts in that series. So for example if you love playing around with our sketches, click on "Friday Sketches".  There is a big hint in the name there too! Sketches will be posted every Friday!!

Mondays will see a new colour scheme, Wednesdays a scraplift and on the other days you will just have to put up with random ramblings, tutorials and other inspiration from me, Rosey or Nilsa!

Unfortunately, at this time we are unable to offer any more prizes for our games. With all the life events we've been talking about none of us have money to be able to continue. We're not saying however that's the end of prizes forever! We will occasionally be holding give-aways on the blog!

We hope that all makes sense and that you will understand the reasons we've made these changes! Now.... who want's to play?

Colour Scheme Inspiration


Looking for inspiration for some scrapping today? Why not try today's colour challenge?!

We challenge you to create a layout or card using the colour scheme seen above! 

When you're done, come back here and link us to your creations! We think these are lovely spring colours, perfect for this time of year. Perhaps you want to use some flowers on your layout too, spread them across your page or use them to create a lovely flowery border! We can't wait to see what you create!

Sketch Challenge

Firstly, let me apologise for our lack of presence on the website lately- things have been busy for all of the Design Team with new jobs, new homes, redundancy and hey - life in general.

Sadly, as a result of life getting in the way, our very own Kelly has had to step down from our Design Team for a while. She will still stick around and play along with challenges and probably end up shopping with Rosey and Georgina at some stage when they get together to scrap though, so you haven't seen the end of her! :)

Kelly, from all of us - thank you so so much for all the help and support and indeed inspiration you have provided over the past couple of years, it is very much appreciated! We will miss you!

Apologies and Announcements over....

Now, back onto a challenge for you for this weekend! Rosey has created this amazing sketch for us all to play with! 


We challenge you to use it this weekend and create a page or two! Come back here and share it with us when you are done!

Oh .... and by the way, we also need to announce our March winner don't we! Drum roll please.........


Congrats to:


AMANDA JANE!

Amanda - please email your address details to Georgina by clicking here.
