The Idea Behind This Blog

On the 1st of each month, a new room will be revealed. Be inspired by the colour combination used in the room, the patterns, the decor, the textures, the objects in the room or by what the room is itself (for example, for a kitchen, create a page about cooking with your kids). My wish is for you to be inspired to scrap YOUR photos the way YOU want to, with a little assistance in the way of inspiration from us here at BTD. Enjoy, and don't forget to share your work with us!

Introducing....




Hello everyone and welcome to Beyond the Door Scrap Challenge!! I am very excited to post this and hope that you are all just as excited to be here!



My name is Catherine (aka Catie) and I am a SAHM of 4 little darlings. I originally started out as a card maker a couple of years ago, and still continue to make and sell cards, and it inevitably led me to scrapping... I started out making an album for my best friend's hens do, and then started on albums for my children and it all snowballed from there! I am currently a Creative Memories consultant, and love inspiring other people to tell their stories and record their lives for their families. I don't really have a particular style that I can identify, but rather, I believe I am a fairly versatile scrapper. I don't really have one particular favourite product or brand, but I do love flowers and butterflies and I adore glimmermists. I guess eclectic sums me up pretty well. I have several layouts being published in the next few issues of Scrapbooking Memories and Scrapbook Creations as well as a couple in Creating Keepsakes and one in a future issue of Scrapbook Magazine (UK).



I love to draw inspiration from all kinds of sources in creating my pages, and particularly love looking at designer rooms and taking in the colours, textures, patterns and objects of a room and translating all that onto a layout, card, or OTP project. Hence 'Beyond The Door' was born... I hope you enjoy these rooms and challenges as much as I do and that these challenges help you to step outside your comfort zone and inspire you to expand your scrapping horizons!!


We have some very generous sponsors donating prizes each month, so be sure to enter (you can email your entry to me at the address in the sidebar) and don't forget to visit our sponsors and check out their awesome shops!
