I just saw this on Facebook on the Magnolia Tree page (a gift ware shop in Port Lincoln)
and thought -
"white + woodgrain = yummy"
can you incorporate those two elements on a scrap page over the weekend?
Send your creations in for us to upload and inspire others. I can't wait to see what brilliance comes into my inbox.

Colour inspired Challenge
I found this on pinterest last night and it just popped out at me. I fell in love with it instantly....i'm not sure what it was....i love the colours, i love those angled shapes or just what....so i thought i would start this month with a challenge from this image....be it the colours, shapes... or the background, whatever you like.
Hope this inspires you to combine papers with photos and products and to share it here with us. Hopefully during this busy week i can cut, glue and stick down some paper!!
I have officially stepped back from the E2C team recently but i will still be popping around in the background - here on the blog, with setting the occassional challenge here for you. It has been a busy and fulfilling 5 years with Escape 2 Create but my life is too busy to fit everything & everyone in. So i hope you will all continue to pop in the blog here and to mine to say hello, particpate in the challenges and share the scrapping love!!
So i hope you all have a good week- and keep on scrapping!!

Hexagon Trend - Sue
This challenge of Meredith's has inspired me with hexagons. I have been spying and loving the use of hexagons on layouts lately. Here i have used a WOW chipboard to use as a mask, and then used MFT hexagon die to cut my patterned papers which happened to fit exactly over my masked area.
What have you seen that you like lately with the trends???

Trending ... are you onto it?
So over at Studio Calico they have an on line class coming up ... Trendspotting!
So these are the trends they are focusing on ...
- triangles
- ombre ... Ombren. A French term meaning "shaded." Usually a multicolored stripe, with colors graduating from light to dark. The color effect is woven into the fabric. Generally produced by arranging different tones in the warp.
- woodgrain
- metallics
- sunburst
- confetti
- neon
- arrows
- banners
- typography
- mist
- hexagons
So lets see your takes on one or several of these trends on a layout ... :-)
PS If you want to do this on line class head over to Studio Calico for some fun :-)

Inspirational Title challenge - Sue
This quote led me to this photo of Rob & i taken by AmandaH some time ago....but the page itself was a trial of using my oil pastels (hence the scrappy art paper backgound), so i added some yummy embellies from Amy Tangerine and some doodly rubons.....and a very bright layout was created....quite outside the box for me but lots of fun!!
Thanks for the inspiration & the challenge Amanda.

Inspirational Quote Title - Ali
Hi Amanda, my LO is based on a fridge magnet I have had for as long as I can remember...
I'm not free until I believe in me.
I slapped this down in record time. Used what ever was right there. Which wasn't much, but great to sit and create for a short amount of time!
Thanks Ali Mc
oooh Ali look at your SUPER SASSY photo - love it you hot mumma.
Also loving those splashes of teal paint that are perfect with the pink and the embellishments.
I am so jealous that your random, quick layouts look as awesome as this.

Tiff - Pennants & Flags challenge
Hi Sue,
I've attached a LO that i've used a string with pennants on them. The photos arn't flat on the page, they take a bit of a sweeping dip in the middle with either end raised off the page.
cheers Tiff.
Wow, this is a great LO Tiff....love the photos hanging on the string with the pennants- with the 3D effect!! The colours are very effective on the green background....and a touch of paint splattering too i see?!! Love it!
Thanks for joining in with this challenge and sharing with us!!xx
