Today I have two gorgeous challenges for you...
First up is the amazing challenge over at Kraft+...I totally loved this challenge, haha to be honest, I've loved all the challenges that Sandra has set for us ;) I've personally found them all inspiring!
This month is all about getting back to NATURE. The challenge is to use feathers (they do not have to be real) & something that nature has provided (these DO have to be real, think shells, sticks, pebbles, leaves etc etc)
While at retreat a couple of months back, I was challenged by the gorgeous Louise to use the photo below...I instantly knew what I was going to do with it. This challenge was perfect!
Of course I had to use the Louise 'feather' by Imaginarium Designs which I painted using distress paints. I'm lucky enough to have one of Lou's hand carved feather stamps which I've stamped on vellum...& I know it's really hard to see, but I've also glittered the ends of each feather.
The tiny shells are real, the larger one is metal, which I've painted up again with distress paint...how good is that stuff ;) Below is a close up of title & those cute little shells.

My next share is from the brilliant challenge set by DT member Leanne Jago over at Show us your Stuff! This month there are NO PEOPLE allowed in your photographs! Instead we want to see what inspires you, what interests you, what makes your heart happy...somewhere, something - anything other than people! And of course, don't forget to include a handmade embellishment somewhere on your layout too.
Anyone that follows me on Facebook or Instagram will know how much I love taking sunrise & sunset photos, so this was a super easy one for me!
I had created this background using Dylusions Paint for a demo at Scrapbook Divas Retreat, the colours worked perfectly, so it progress quickly from there. My handmade item is the flair from Flutterby Designs (I know, I use them every month, but I do REALLY love them) I also punched out a felt flower, which the kittens later chewed ;) Nothing is safe in this house anymore!!!

That's it from me for the moment, I'll be back with the challenge from 123 Challenge Blog soon. Thanks for stopping by...as always, a huge, huge thank you for all your lovely comments. They really do mean so much to me & I appreciate the time you take to leave me one x
Happy scrapping!
I'd use Flutterbys flair every month, too...they are lovely! So is your page....& that is a GREAT challenge. But I'm not entering any challenges this month....a few of my scrappy mates reckon I can't last...so I'm out to prove them wrong. If any challenge has me weakening, it's this one....but I shall remain strong!!!! And as for your K+ one. It's even more stunning here in all its glory! ADORE that long photo....and the cluster under, close up......really shows all the details. GORGEOUS :):)
