3-To-Inspire with Emma

Hi friends!  Emma here with the final 3-To-Inspire challenge for September :)

We share this challenge every Saturday for those of you that are looking for a little extra push to get scrapbooking, to keep scrapbooking, or those just looking for a challenge (and the chance to win a little something is an added bonus!).

I hope you'll join in with me this week using the following prompts:

1.  Use 3 different patterned papers on your page (either 3 different sheets of paper or if you have a paper with multiple patterns on it, you can use that too!)
2.  Use a triangle shape AND a circle shape on your page
3.  Add stitching on your page (either machine or by hand!)

And here is the page I created:
 

I used the Add-on kit for this page - I love all the Turn The Page items included!  And it helped with this page as the Paige Evans Turn The Page "12" has multiple patterns on one side so I was able to use one piece of paper and get my 3 patterns!

I used my trusty scissors to hand-cut all my triangle shapes (so they're all a little wonky) and then put the together randomly at the top and bottom of my page and machine stitched them in place.

Once I had the triangle pieces set I used my little circle punch to cut out circle shapes of the same pattern and layered them on top with a small foam dot behind to give them a little dimension.

My photo's, title and journaling are centered in the middle of my page.  I print all my photo's at home so I'd printed out two of the same photo with one being slightly bigger than the other (at that time I couldn't decide which size I wanted to go with) and ended up using both by just layering one on top of the other!

Now it's your turn! Use the three prompts to create your own project/s and share them with us here in the gallery and/or our Facebook Forum.  I look forward to seeing your project!

Thanks, Em xo

In My Studio - Anna Uhras

Hi sweet Friends! Anna here today and I will invite you to my very best place in the world, ( ok, almost ,lol!) my scraproom.
First I want to let you know it's not at all as fancy as those white , airy , lovely and just gorgeous studios, BUT it's my very own room and I'm so so happy and grateful for it.

I've used what I had at home to furnish and decorate my scrappy place for almost one year ago. Before that I had a little corner in our bedroom, so this is almost heaven as compared to that :)

Here we go...

I love my big old desk, it's my Father in law's and he's got it from a school when they sold out old furniture. He doesn't use it anymore so I grabbed it, YESS!!

I got an older version of the Ikea Kallax shelf, called Expedit. 

I storage my cardstock and my albums in here. 

Ohh, and some other random stuff as well...lol!

You also can spy my beloved sewing maschine and my old - totally not fancy- but still working typewriter bought on a second hand store nearby.

I got some shelfs right behind my working area with loads of storage.

Here's a worktop that holds my printer and my absolutely fantastic Silhouette Cameo.

Also it swallows loads of crap in the cupboards and drawers, lol!

To the right yo see my faithful old servant, my lovely green Cuttlebug.

Still going strong!

One of my most recent purchase, a gorgeous storage basket tower from Ikea called Sommar 2017.

And a jar of cotton thread in several lovely colors.

Some close ups..

The wooden box with small plastic boxes in are from my parents old kitchen. I grabbed it when they moved and nobody else wanted it, believe it or not !!

I love it !!

Ahh!! you can spy some CTK boxes!!

I storage all my kits in it's own box as far as I can and as far as it is enough material left.

When there's just some small bits and pieces left I sort them out in other baskets and storage folders.

Just a little peek into my drawers...

Here's another favorite ,well known by many, my Råskog by Ikea. 

It's awesome and gorgeous, win win!!

Well, so that's my kind of  homemade studio :)

As I told you, not so fancy but yet so very perfect for me.

Some day, in my dreams, I will have one of those absolutely lovely light and airy WHITE scrap studios too, but until then I'm totally happy here <3

Thanks so my much for stopping by!

Until next time, take care!
