December Kraft+ Challenge

Hello! I hope you all had a wonderful Christmas with your loved ones, or at least found some calm & peace for the day, with these continued stresses over covid. We can only hope the new year brings more normality...if that is at all possible?

Today, I'm sharing my incredibly late layout for this months Kraft+ Challenge 'Rainbow Love'. I just got it in by the skin of my teeth! LOL we won't discuss that I should have had it done prior to the month! December was a crazy one for me, working 5 days a week has been a shock to the system. I didn't get a chance to sit at my desk at all, so this layout has just sat there, so close to being finished, it was not funny.

This is also the 1st month without Amanda Hall creating our inspiration mood boards...eeeck! I have to confess, she is still very much with us in spirit, as she kindly sent me her files to create the boards. Even still, it's been a huge learning curve for me & I would call my mood boards the 'no frills, budget' version ;) I cannot thank Amanda enough for her kindness & generosity because I would seriously be lost without them.

I had the perfect range of papers for this challenge...'Colour Your World' from Kaszazz, including the stamps "Rainbows, word montage".

Everything here, except for the die for the banner can be found in my WebStore HERE This range was made for this challenge, or this challenge was made for this range ;)

A close up of those perfect rainbow stamps and elements...

Now to get cracking on the coming months challenge, because the new year will be here before we know it!

Have a safe and happy new year!

Thank you for stopping by.

Happy crafting.

Christmas with ArtStacks

Today I have an art journal page using ArtStacks tissue paper Christmas Quotes. Using the Dina Wakley 6x6 album, I created a background using Scribble Sticks and created a Christmas wreath. I coloured the under side of the tissue paper Christmas tree, again with the Scribble Sticks.

Christmas is coming...like a freight train ;) it's time to get into the spirit of it! LOL she says completely in denial.

Thank you for stopping by. Happy crafting.

ArtStacks art journal play!

Hello, how are you? Today I'm sharing a follow up page to one that was done previously...with the cross window. Last time you got a peak at this page, now we peak back on the original ;)

This one is again using the fabulous 'altered ancestors', I love these quirky figures. I'm also using the new 'Trees and Leaves' Stack and other bits and pieces from their range.

Here I've created in my Dina Wakley Kraft journal, just adding a stripe of paint and some stamping on the background. I've then layered some scraps from previous creations and added the tissue paper flowers, the handcut circles, altered ancestor girl and the trees.

 

These peak-a-boo pages are so much fun to create, you can see the starts of a new page peaking out from behind, again using more of the 'altered ancestors' and scraps from coloured core stack.

Pop over to the ArtStacks blog to see the other amazing creations from the rest of the team HERE, you won't be disappointed.

Thanks for stopping by. Happy crafting!

ArtStacks - Peace on Earth

Hello! Today I'm sharing an art journal page using ArtStacks products using the Lorraine Haight Moraine CoreStack and Christian Christmas Quotes.

After painting my background black and flicking white gloss spray over it, I broke out the BigShot. From it, I cut the Tim Holtz Perspective butterfly our of the green coloured core stack. Also cutting out and edging one of the 'altered ancestors' to place in the middle of the butterfly. I always associate butterflies with angels, and we need angels for 'Peace on Earth'...or a miracle! 

This one was a quick and easy one, but you need ones that like, especially this time of year.

Don't forget to pop over to the ArtStacks blog to see the other amazing creations from the rest of the team, you'll find that HERE.

Thank you for stopping by.

Happy crafting!
