Septembers inspiration will come from the Movie Poster........

RIO

For an extra 6 bonus points :)

1) One word title = 1 pt
2) Use Blue, Yellow and Red Cardstock = 2 pts
3) Add a Bird = 3 pts

NOTE - From June we are now looking for individual entries for FS2S, you may combine your entry with a sketch but we no longer want entries that combine other challenges as we feel the ladies that do the right thing and take the time to enter independent entries are disadvantaged when it comes to winning prizes. If it means we lose a few entries, so be it!

The inlinkz post will go up shortly!

The Design Team have put together some great submissions,
so lots of inspiration to share with you all :)

Entries for 'RIO' will close

Wednesday 28th September at midnight.

Looking forward to seeing some great entries this month :)

Cheers

Leonie's submission for September.....

Leonie - Cuckoo

Hi Shazza,

Here’s my take on the September challenge.

I took my inspiration from the triangular shape of the bird and used this in the placement of my photo’s.

I had some trouble with the cardstock criteria. I realized how little coloured cardstock I actually use. I did

Manage to find a few pieces though and stamped on them and then made the grungy flowers!

And I’ve have this felt bird in my stash for ages, knew it would come in handy one day, it looked a little crazy so it matched the theme

Of the layout with my son pulling funny faces! And lastly my journaling imitated the style in the movie poster.

Thanks for asking be to be guest designer.

Cheers,

Leonie

Come meet our Movie Extra for September.....

Leonie Neal-Dawson

Hi, i’m Leonie and I live in Geelong, Victoria. Along with my Husband of 11 years, Greg and our 4 children, Will (10), Andrew (8), Hamish (8), and Maggie (6).

I started Scrapbooking when I was pregnant with my twins in 2003. And truly I love everything about this craft; preserving our family’s memories, the creative outlet for me, meeting fabulous like minded people and in the past year or so I’ve discovered the online world of scrapping, blog challenges, forums etc. I’ve become so passionate about my craft that everyday will find me scrapping, even if it’s just 15 minutes tucked away in my study!

I enjoy learning and trying lots of different techniques and I think that is part of the attraction of blog challenges. They always offer something a little different, something to help push you in new directions. Having said that at the moment I like to use mists and masks on my Layouts and l think I also add some doodling or inking/distressing to most of my layouts.

I love having visitors to my blog, so feel free to pop in and say hi.

Natalie Elphinstones submission......

Natalie Elphinstone - Blessed

Dear Shazza,

I'm so happy with how this layout turned out after I was inspired by the movie poster to document my youngest's love for adventure. I was at first stumped with how to add blue, red and yellow cardstock as I'm not really a cardstock kind of scrapper, but luckily I found some in the right colours and it came together quite easily in the end. I've added a big wing to represent my bird and my one-word title is "Blessed", together with the subtitle it reads "Blessed are the curious, for they shall find adventure"!! What a fun movie poster we've got this month. Can't wait to see how everyone interprets it.

Here is Jennifers submission......

Jennifer Manis - Tweet

Hi Shazza!! Here's my layout for The Rio poster for September. It's titled, "Tweet". Of course, I had to use photos of my real birds on my page! :) Loved this poster!

Thanks,

Jen

Chantal Vandenberg's submission....

Chantal Vandenberg - Cheeky

Please find attached my take on September's inspiration movie poster, "Rio". I really enjoyed this challenge, especially with it's bright and bold colours. I saw this one at the movies and it really was a visual feast! :D

I've included all the criteria here - 1. One word title "Cheeky", 2. Use Blue, Yellow and Red cardstock - I've a blue base there (albeit covered with flowers - but you can just see it peeking through!!), 3. Add a bird - I've got a gorgeous little bird from the Chip Chop Shop there ;).

I've also been inspired by the angles of the kite (see the music paper on my layout) and the addition of white on the layout (ditto).

Fabbo challenge - one of my faves!!! :D

Cheers,
Chantal Vandenberg

Here is Dales submission for September.....

Dale Tiernan -HAT

Hi Shazza,

Here is my layout "Hat" for the Rio challenge. I've used red, blue and yellow cardstock which I have cut with my zigzag scissors to repeat the pattern on the eggs in my photos. I've also included a red turkey feather for the same reason. I also have a handmade felt embellishment that I made. Mark and I had a lot of fun making our Easter craft projects this year.

For a list of items used please see my blog www.daleys-dailies.blogspot.com.

Cheers,

Dale

Janes take on the monthly poster.....

Jane Howden - Bright

Hi Shazza,

I had to call this layout “Bright” (my one word title) it really couldn’t be anything else. Gorgeous rainbow lorikeets on South Molle Island, Queensland. My daughter was in hysterics over them, she really thought they were a scream. I’ve used red, yellow and blue cardstock and of course there are birds a plenty. Loved putting this one together – hope everyone else finds some birdy inspiration this month.

Here is Sandi's take on the 'RIO' movie poster this month.....

Sandi Robinson - Winner

Attached, my submission for 'Rio'...What an absolute pleasure to work with this poster as inspiration! When I saw the criteria 'Add A Bird' I immediately thought of this photo of my youngest, then aged two, at a Christmas Fancy Dress Party held by his playgroup. He went as a Pirate & I had such fun dressing him up...he even let me draw a curly moustache on with an eyeliner pen!! While his eye patch & cutlass were soon abandoned (they got in the way of playing!!) the parrot was still pinned on his shoulder & the moustache still on his face, right up to bath time that evening!! The icing on the cake was when he was awarded First Prize for his costume & he clung on to that envelope all day!! So...all criteria met & another long overdue photo scrapped!! Thanks Shazza for yet another thoroughly enjoyable challenge!! :)

Debi Clark's submission....

Debi Clark - She

Hi Shazza,
 
What a great fun movie poster Rio is to inspire me!! I hope

it also inspiress many gals to join in with us too.
 
I loved the bright cheery colours, to add to these photos

of a dear friends little daughter.  I used the red,

yellow & blue CS plus added a little bit of pink there

too, inked & then Glossy Accented the birdie (although

that is hard to see in the photo)& title my page 'She'.
 
What a great time I had working on my page!
 
Thanks again dear Shazza,

Here is Mary Steinmetz's take on the 'RIO' poster....

Mary Steinmetz -Beachy

Hi Shazza,

Here is my entry for Sept.

I think it turn out really cute, I kind a went with colors in the poster, that really got me going. It was a fun poster.

When Is Hannah and her friend Jessica tanning on the beach.

I have covered the red, blue and yellow card stock, one title word Beachy, and my feathered friend the bird.

I hope you like as much as I enjoyed putting to together.

Here is Alanna submission for the month.......

Alanna Nelson - Bounce

I had so much fun with this LO! The cardstock criteria made me realise I haven't used cardstock as my background in a while (more of a patterned paper kind of girl!) and I pulled out one of my new Crafter's Workshop templates and had a play around with embossing on the Core Core'dinations cardstock... it was a bit time consuming (I'm only learning) but I love the effect!! Minimilistic seems to be my style at the moment so I kept this one nice and simple. I also embossed the red cardstock circle and yellow title. The paper doiley was a last minute addition to the page but I'm so glad I did. I knew it needed that extra little something, and my doiley solution came in a dream ;)

Cardstock - background, title, circle behind photos.
One word title - check :)
Bird - little birdie pebble on the bird cage strung across photos with floss.

Thanks Shazza :)
