Kraft It Up!

The mid month inspiration is up at KIU, so I can reveal my layout for this months challenge of recycling some of the product packaging on your layout with the kraft. Check out the CT reveal here.

Here I've used the plastic packaging in the 'big shot' to create the alpha's, which I then stamped & dabbed with paint. I've also used the card from Prima packaging & the product tag on Jenni Bowlin journal tags.

Looking forward to seeing your interpretation of this KIU challenge....also, don't forget the 123 Challenge for the month, great prizes up for grabs on both challenge sites.

Thank you for stopping by...as always, a huge thank you for all your lovely comments, I really do appreciate each & every one of them x
Happy scrapping!

March challenges...

I managed to scrap over the Easter weekend...yay for that!!! As most of you would know, I LOVE creating backgrounds...totally love my mists & masks! :) I've always been in awe of the lovely Louise & her gorgeous backgrounds, more recently discovered Kim Price & while I had some 'quiet' computer time...watched the amazing Dyan Reaveley doing some demo's on the Ranger site. Hence I've been playing...

First up is a layout for STG, sadly I missed the end of month...but their challenge was a colour one using black, white & green. Here I've used Dyan's technique of 'ghosting' with the dylusions ink, I love the subtle effect.

This next one is for STB...so very cool that we have a couple of extra days to get our entries in :) Their challenge for March was using 2 photos 6x4 or smaller, chipboard, washi tape, mists/paint...hehe, my dream challenge ;)

 
I'm loving these wood veneers by Studio Calico, they are appearing on a lot of my layouts recently...I'm going to run out very soon.

New month, new challenges...

The best thing about a new month is the new challenges that you get to sink your teeth into ;)

April's challenge over @ 123 is...

Colour = Duck Egg Blue, Word = Today, Technique = White Wash

This is my take on the challenge...I loved creating it, it's something a little different for me! I'm not really a soft pastels girl, but with the white wash it only seemed fitting. I love how this turned out.

The Kraft It Up challenge for April is...
This month we want to recycle some of that product packaging and use it on your layout, the only must have is that you use Kraft Cardstock or Kraft Patterned Paper!

Here is a sneak of my layout, as the full reveal is up later in the month, but you must check out the gorgeous creations from the CT here...they will certainly inspire you!
