Our latest challenge for the MMDT 2014 was to take inspiration from the book A Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy.  I think my over reactive imagination went too far left out of the box this time.  I've read the book and thought if the Margathean's built me a planet I would want Europe to definitely be there, since I traveled there with my french class in 1986.  So I figured A French Student's Guide to Europe would fit the bill.

You can go to my journella page to see how it was put together and to get the english translation to my journaling. (see link below)

Scout Day at the Zoo

 MMDT challenge #5 was to use the photo bleed (taking picture, or paper to the edge of the page) and overlapping at least 2-pics.  We were also asked to use burlap, material or felt.  I had a great time putting these pages together, since they reminded me of the great day we had at the Brandywine Zoo with the cubscouts.  You can see the full story on my Journella page at: http://www.journella.com/storyboard/fullview/id/12414/Family-Life-Scout-Day-at-the-Zoo

Forget the Queen, I'll take the King!

 

February's first challenge for the Mosaic Moments Design Team had us taking our inspiration from Hearts.  So, February = Valentines, Valentines = Hearts, Hearts = Queen of Hearts, Queen of Hearts = Alice in Wonderland, Alice in Wonderland = Mad Hatter, Mad Hatter = Johnny Depp, Johnny Depp = King of Hearts!!  All very logical.  LOL  Had a great time doing the layout.

 The 15 pictures come from: 21 Jump Street, The Rum Diaries, Alice in Wonderland, The Lone Ranger, The Secret Window, Dark Shadow, Sleepy Hollow, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, Sweeney Todd, Platoon, Blow, Pirates of the Caribbean, The Tourist, Edward Scissorhands and Peoples Sexiest Man Alive layout.

Valentines Day is only 3 weeks away!  I put together a 3-card kit of Mosaic Moments RTC paper cards for the occasion. They will be available starting tomorrow at the Becky and Clare's crop downstate and thru Scrappigators.com.

Bonus card idea!  This great card has quilled hearts and kisses (x's).  In my quilling class last week I had the ladies make extra elements that we will be putting on this card when I teach this at our card class in Kenton on Feb. 3rd.  The hearts are made by attaching two teardrops together and the kisses are two v-scrolls attached together at the points.  Such a fun way to say I Love You!

Our 2nd challenge for the Mosaic Moments 2014 design team was to take inspiration from the Hans Christian Anderson's 'The Snow Queen'.  We had a great snow day in January and I took some great shots of the pine trees with the wonderful blue shadow they cast.  For the full story you can go to http://www.journella.com/storyboard/fullview/id/12294/Family-Life-Blue-Snow!
