Welcome to the Hunger Games Scrapbooking Challenge District #9 Grain!
I wasn't exactly sure where to go with the inspiration of "grain" so I looked through some of my older layouts and found themes of cooking, growing, and selected some layouts that just seemed to have a "grain" color. I'll explain each of the layouts and hopefully it will spark something for you to play with so you can create a scrapbooking layout or project inspired by District #9 Grain.
The two top Layouts have a theme of sunrise and sunset - grain farmers kind of live by the sun right?
1. Saturday Morning: I gathered random bits from the foods we eat on Saturday Mornings and included them as part of my page. We don't normally eat a lot of grain products, but if you eat waffles or bread or other grain based products for breakfast, that could be a good topic for a page.
2. Yum. Yum. Extra Yum. The title is inspired by a page in the book Little Pea by Amy Krouse Rosenthal - it is one of our favorite bedtime stories. I also included a photo collage of pictures about food in our house - everything from shopping, to cooking to eating and family celebrations.
Here are 9 more layouts that are loosely associated with District #9's Grain Industry:
1. Mac: Backyard Treasure: This layout includes a lot of grain colored patterened paper. I used a square punch on random bits of scraps and then cut them on the diagonal to form the triangles and put them into a pattern. (This layout was based on an original design team page created for Jenni Bowlin's line at this past CHA 2012)
2. Mr. Sunshine & The Night Owls: This layout includes photos of us in our kitchen and is also a nod to the idea of how farmers get up early.
3. Love You: This is another layout that was based on an original design team page created for the Dear Lizzy line from America Crafts from this past CHA 2012. Again, the colors in the patterned papers look a bit like grain colors and the overall page looks like a sunburst.
4. Wasabi: The subject of this page is the green spicy Japanese horseradish - which I absolutely love - but the photo includes sushi rolls made with rice, which I'm pretty sure is actually a grain!
5. Yum Yum Yum! Here's another cooking based page, I used part of the packaging from a Barbie toy for the large Baker Barbie embellishment on the page.
6. October: Here's another grain colored page - and I'm pretty sure that farmers harvest their grain crops in the fall right? So I'm calling this one a grain based page too ;)
7. The Farm: This page is actually about a farm and I know corn isn't technically a grain - but we did do the corn maze for the first time and the hexagon/octagon die cut shapes bring to mind busy bees and being productive in a farming kind of way.
8. Grow: This page could have been included in District 11 Agriculture, but I didn't get it in that post, so I'll include it here - it is about plants after all.
9. My Hero: It is not obvious from this layout, but this photo was taken at Dunkin Donuts - which are made of grains, right?
Ok, so I kind of called it in today; but if you have a GREAT GRAIN IDEA for District #9 please leave a comment or post a link to your project, I would love to see it!
