WhooHooo!!!! I made the Summer Design Team of Black with 2!!!

Oh yes, I am doing the HAPPY HAPPY DANCE!!  I am on the new Design Team for summer for one of my favourite scrapbooking groups, Black with 2.  I love the challenge of working with black and especially using black cardstock as the base background for the layout.  You often have to think a little out of the box and often need to be a little creative to get the perfect look.

I am especially thrilled to be part of this talented group of scrappers and cannot wait to have some fun with the upcoming challenges.  So now onto this month's challenge:

October's challenge is Pink & Mulberry with predominant black card stock and just a touch of white (5% only allowed).  So here is the mood board and sketch to be used:

And seeing that pink is significant with breast cancer awareness, I did another layout of our bike ride we did in May in aid of the Breast Cancer Brunch held in Auckland.  I put together the pink and yellow layout for the September Bw2 challenge of myself dressed up for the occasion, and thought it would be great to do the other layout of hubby and his "big toy" all pinked out for the ride.

The mulberry colour is a lovely rich colour and perfect for a "big boy's" page.  So I used mostly this colour on my page and made the elements of the page masculine to suit the theme.  So no pretty cute flowers except for the flower doodles on the black card stock, but I just couldn't resist a teeny weeny little touch on pink bling here and there.

So do have some fun with this challenge!
