April Virtual Crop challenge
Welcome back to another Mood Board inspiration challenge ahead of our monthly virtual Crop day tomorrow, which starts right here at 10am.
This month the mood board colours are so deliciously contrasting - doesn't it just make you want to bust out your holiday photos? Bright sunny yellow contrasted with turquoise there are a tonne of textures featured on the mood board this month that I am thinking inks, and paints and splats and layering? Or is that just me. What do you see when you look at this? Where do you get inspired and how will it translate to a layout? You could stick with the 9 grid format of the board itself, the images, the colours... plenty to take your inspiration from.
I used this board to inspire the following page which ended up with no inks and splats after my initial thought!
I hope the mood board or my layout above encourage you to join in this challenge. Take a look here at our Facebook gallery here for the Mood boards so far this year and the pages inspired by them - it is really interesting to see where the same board takes different people and we had a few who joined in with these challenges at our retreat last weekend.
If you take part this month we would love for you to share your pages in our Facebook group Mood Board gallery adding the month and your name so we can give credit where due and share our favourites ahead of next month's virtual crop.
See you back here tomorrow at 10am for your first April Virtual crop class.

March Virtual Crop Challenge
It's Virtual crop weekend again (YAY!) so welcome to your March Mood Board inspiration challenge ahead of our Virtual Crop day tomorrow.
This month the mood board colours are fresh and spring like in soft pinks and aqua with a hint of grey. There are flowers (feature those on your page), a wheel (circle layout element/design maybe), hanging lanterns or will you just stick with the colour scheme to inspire your spring page? There is plenty to take your inspiration from including the layout of the mood board itself if you fancy creating a more graphic/block feeling page which is where I went with my layout.
Here is my page where I also stick to the pinks/aqua colours of this board to scrap some pbotos of my daughter and I atathe statue of liberty lastvyear.
I hope you will join in this challenge and if you haven't had a go at the January and February mood boards yet you can find them by clicking on the underlined hyperlink. These are a great way of kick starting your creative process and it is really interesting to see the variety of layouts inspired by the same board.
If you do take part this month in our March Mood Board challenge why not share your pages in our Facebook group Mood Board gallery adding the month and your name so we can give credit where due and share our favourites ahead of next month's virtual crop.

February Virtual crop challenge
Welcome back to another Mood Board inspiration challenge ahead of your February Virtual Crop day tomorrow.
This month the mood board colours are shades of blues accented with brown. There are lots of hearts in the images including book print ones, plus a doiley, a suitcase (so maybe travel inspiration there?), plus trees/bark (outdoors), frames... lots to take your inspiration from.
I used this board to inspire the following page with a woodgrain background inspired by the trees, hearts, the colours and a doiley as well as book print leaves.
I hope you will join in this challenge. Take a look here at last month's if you missed it as well. These are a great way of kick starting your creative process and it is really interesting to see where the same board takes different people. Share your pages in our Facebook group Mood Board gallery adding the month and your name so we can give credit where due and share our favourites ahead of next month's virtual crop.

January virtual crop challenge
Welcome to your Friday night January virtual crop challenge ahead of our virtual crop day tomorrow featuring 3 classes for you to download from your design team.
For 2018 virtual crop challenges we are going to use mood boards to inspire a layout or craft project each month. I chose the following mood board for January as I felt it was neutral enough to inspire scrapping photos from this time of year.
I used the colours of the boards greys, soft blue and pale pink to inspire this page where I featured a photo of my daughter (in a woolly hat - inspired by the wool jumper) and I, the snowflakes (weather related like the cloud on the mood board) and lots of gems (inspired from those featured on the shoes).
Our challenge today is for you to take a look at the mood board and see where it takes yours creativity, then share your page on our 2018 mood board gallery with the month of the board and your name. We will share our favourites ahead of next months virtual crop.
See you tomorrow for your first class at 10am with Karen.
