Welcome to our May challenge. 

This month, we have a wonderful colour palette for you!  You can add a bit of white or black if you need to, but these colours need to dominate your page.

Sharon Bishop

Sharon used wood grain for her background and mainly blues and browns from the selected colours to create this gorgeous, fun page! 

Julene Matthews
Julene has created a brighter take with the moodboard colours to create this wonderful page.

Jane Howden

These colours and the woodgrain panels inspired me to create a heritage page. I also incorporated two little birds as an ode to the patterned paper in the moodboard.

Donna O'Connell

I've used the majority of the colours here with a touch of florals.
A fun day in the city (Sydney) for Father's Day 2023

Our Creative Team

Hello everyone

Let me introduce our wonderful creative team, as we kick-start our challenges in 2025

These amazing ladies will be inspiring us this year, keeping out mojo flowing and getting though our stash! 

 

Donna O'Connell

Hi, Donna here. I started scrapping a year after my first child was born, 2002!. Totally addicted. Have given most styles a try, but I like minimalistic and quite structured designs. Love using different elements/textures. My favourite things to scrap are holidays and family.

Jane Howden

Hi, I’m Jane and live on the beautiful Central Coast of NSW. I have been scrapbooking now for over twenty years using this wonderful craft as a creative outlet and a way to preserve my family’s precious memories. My personal style has evolved over the years, but I do lean towards a clean, relatively simple design approach with a heavy emphasis on white space. I like to capture not only those special events and travels of my family but also our everyday moments too. I am a keen follower of challenges and am particularly drawn to gaining inspiration from mood boards and colour themes for my pages.

Sharon Bishop

Hi! Shazza here, and I live in Melbourne, Victoria. I have been scrapping for about fifteen years and have been on several Design teams throughout this time. I love trying different styles, and I suppose my style is just a mishmash of everything….. lol

I find mood boards give me the most inspiration. I love scrapping my grand-daughter ‘Skyla’ and my cat ‘Teddy’!

I have been a follower of ‘What’s in the Bickie Tin’ for a long time, and I’m looking forward to scrapping with my CT friends and bringing all the members some inspiration.

Julene Matthews

Hello, I'm Julene and have been scrapping for many years.  I was on "What's in the bickie tin ?" Design team previously and am delighted to return. I've tried all styles of layouts, cards and OTP but still prefer 12X12 layouts with the emphasis on the photos. I've been published several times and also exhibited my work at craft shows etc. As the family historian I scrap heritage layouts and also love doing travel layouts.

and myself, Donna Cope

I live in beautiful Perth Western Australia, with hubby and our son, and have been scrapping for over 20 years on and off.
 I have a bit of a mixed style but tend to favour pages where my photos are the focus point.
If I'm not scrapping, you can find me with a book or in the garden.
