Scrapbooking with quadrants
Over all of this weekend, you’ve seen some of my favourite techniques and colours become challenges, so I had to include a quadrant challenge too! Backgrounds made of four patterns or colours are one of my absolute favourite ways to start a page. From there, you can choose just how simple you want to keep things, right up to adding the whole kit and caboodle for a detailed and layered project.
Consider yourself challenge to create a project (scrapbook page, card, tag, etc!) with a background made from four quadrants. They can be solid coloured or patterned – even shades of one colour for a monochromatic look!
Take a picture of your project and post it online, then add a link in the comments here. See this post for all the details and deadlines for this weekend.
One randomly selected entry will win a custom portrait (person or pet) as a Little Musing by SJ Dowsett. You will love her amazing drawings — she creates the cutest details about your personality in a picture. I love this picture she drew of me and frankly wish I could wear that little cartoon outfit every day when it gets cold!
Can’t wait to see what you build from your quadrant background!

I have done this one using a photo that was taken into the light in a room restricted by all that was around. A photo that should have been discarded. Instead I have made it sepia, lightened it and cut it down to just the essential focal point, and produced a layout that was surprisingly quick to do and I feel pleased with
all elements of this LO are my own creation except the font of course which is the King & Queen font

I struggled with this one a little, but got there in the end.
This is my quadrant page

I created a bacakground using papers from an Owl Tree Studio digital kit and then made it hybrid here. It also uses squares.

What a great prize, I have always wanted a musing of my own.
My LO can be seen on my blog here.

Kind of ran out of steam with this one. But really liked the colours. And that’s me done with the challenges :)

I used a quadrant patterned paper, hope that’s not cheating. It is the last in this post and called First Day.

I wasn’t too sure about it, but it’s growing on me.

Sunglasses needed for this one! The story (written on the tag book) is why 3 crazy women were hanging around a bridge over the M6, in broad daylight, wearing very odd disguises. (We were geocaching!) I was determined to go bright with this and I think I succeeded.

I have to say I found this one v. tricky cos I always use patterned paper and thought it would be too fusy…but it’s my favourite LO I made all weekend! THanks for the inspiration Shimelle!

I really wanted to do the quadrant challenge last time, but didn’t get to it. Here is my take this time!

I really don’t frequently consider using almond-milk in savory recipes…

He told the client that their home would be part of a HERO program — that stands for Home Energy Renovation Opportunity. It’s a private company like Ygrene, approved by local governments to set up repayment of loans through the homeowner’s property taxes. The money can be used for anything from air-conditioning to windows to doors — it’s jut not a government entity. But you’d never know it from his pitch.
