Double Up challenge reveal in June with Distressing at ARTastic and Rainy Day at Pixels and paper

Hello every one :) 

Today I have a double DT challeng reveal.

One for ARTastic and

 one for Pixels and Paper

I am  normaly on the Team B for ARTastic which is posted 

on the blog the 15th every month, but now in June I have swaped 

over to team A and has the same reveal date as Pixels and paper

on  the 1st, but as it is the same blog ownwer I can do a

"double"  blog post with some advert for both blogs ;)

This first one is my page for ARTastic where the criteria

this month is DISTRESSING

Inspired by this fun picture "The Jam Session" by Max Mannix

It was the feeling of outdoor activity that inspired me to make
this page with holiday photos for my niece's album.
 I loved the colours on the inspiration picture so I tried to use
the same on the LO and did both paper distressing,
with a distressing tool,
 and colour distressing on the paper edges.

A few close ups...

a hidden journaling tag

If you want to see some more, why not pop over to
 ARTastic
 to see what the rest of  the team has created.

This next LO is for 
Pixels and Paper

Keeping it in Red Black and White
as the inspiration picture

Inspired by this amazing picture

some closies...

The fantastic "Rainy day" inspiration picture with bright red,

black and white made me think of a holiday in Cornwall in June 2012.
It was raining everyday the whole week
 but Tirill still wanted to go surfing...
...and with her wet suit on it is a perfect colour match
to the challenge picture :)

The sea shell are from the beach in St.Ives.
 Every beach where Tirill and I have collecte shells and stones,
we have labeled them in a sorting box
so we later know which place they come from,
to  use on the right scrapbooking page.

Both the little wooden red gears and flair button

 are from St.Ives too

The rainy-day button I bought at the TATE Art Museum

on Port Meor Beach in St.Ives

and the gears are from a local craft-jewlery-bead store

on the little town beach, so it was perfect to use as

embellishments  on this LO

So if you like a different inspiration this is your challenge.

At Pixels and Paper you can creat DIGITALLY

 or with any paper project you like.

Just let us know how the picture of the month

inspired you :)

Thanks for hangin' in there through this loooog blog post,

and if you leave a message it really means alot to me :)

Happy scrappy day!!!
