Special Guest Spotlight on Jonna

 This month, we are pleased to introduce you to Jonna our November Guest Designer.

We invite you to browse through her blog and Instagram links and enjoy her lovely art that has entranced us since she first started entering our challenges!

Hi, I'm Jonna and I started scrapbooking 15 years ago. First of all to document my twin girls. After mainly making cards the last few years, I now try to get into making layouts again. And then the challenges at MTW is the perfect inspiration.

INSTAGRAM    BLOG

Here is a reminder of our November Main Challenge.

Word Inspiration - SEASON

Creative Challenge - LEAVES

Here is Jonna's interpretation of our challenge:

Jonna: I just had to choose fall for my project. But decided to make another approach than taking photos outdoors. So I asked my daughters what they associated with fall, and then took some photos and created the layout. Lots of diecut leaves combined with skeleton leaves. And I added the small words and some embellishments inbetween the leaves. The title ‘Høsten’ is the Norwegian word for autumn.

A big THANK YOU to Jonna for joining us as our 

November Special Guest! 

We hope that Jonna's beautiful project inspires you to join us 

in our November Main Challenge.

NOVEMBER 2020 2nd Reveal of Main Challenge - SEASON & LEAVES

Welcome back to the 2nd Reveal of our NOVEMBER Main Challenge 

at More Than Words!

This month we are asking you to add LEAVES to your projects! 

Our Main Challenge is based on a word inspiration and a creative challenge.

                    

Word Inspiration - SEASON

Creative Challenge - LEAVES

HELPFUL TIPS FOR THE CHALLENGE

Which SEASON is special to you? You could create about the joys of summer, the colour of fall, the delights of winter or the wonders of spring. Or maybe you love every season. Of course, there are other meanings for season too, both literal and metaphorical. We’d love to see what the word inspires you to create! We need to see in your project how our word inspired you. If it isn’t obvious in your work, then please explain it in your post.  

Changing LEAVES are one of the obvious symbols of the passing of the seasons and we want to see some on your project!

ELLE WILSON

Elle: I made an art journal page for this month's project using a gel printed background using autumn colours and leaf prints, some real leaves from the Japanese Maple in my garden, some autumnal word stamps and a quote from one of my favourite books - Anne of Green Gables!

ANNA IWANOWSKA

Anna: I decided to make an art journal spread. "Seasons" theme made me think about how strange this year is. It's a other season I'm spending mostly at home... But also this year gave me some great experiences and I feel no regrets. More even - I feel grateful. I'm accepting the changes and trying to see bright sides in every situation.

 

DAISY RAMSEY

Daisy: I love autumn because the leaves take on bright and warm colors. It creates beautiful landscapes. In the area where I live, it’s very woody. It is nice to walk there to admire the trees. For the creative twist I used diecuts of autumn leaves from Les créations Édith Cloutier

KATRIN MERAGLIA

Katrin: Autumn inspired this project, I create this sculpture with modelling paste, fiber paste and recycled leaves and flowers from other projects, this is an amazing season my favourite I hope you like this.

 ROSALIE DUKE-STANLEY

Rosalie: My take on the SEASONS and LEAVES. Living in Western Australia, to see the beautiful colours of the seaons, we travel to the South West. This is a picture taken near Nannup where every Autunm there are these gorgeous yellows and oranges across the hills. I have added chipboard leaves.

PRIYA MISHRA

Priya: Autumn leaves are my favorite and I love what Autumn teach us. Do for this month's challenge I chose to add a Quote -To everything there is a "SEASON" and for creative part I used some leaf moulds and some fussy cut "LEAVES "
