123 Challenge Blog - March challenge.

Hello...here is the March challenge over @ 123 Challenge Blog!

Here's my take on the challenge...

I used a stencil as a stamp & heat embossed the background. Also embossing the from & the lips on my splat. I used dry embossing the created texture on my red matting. I also heat embossed the thickers lettering...haha maybe not the best decision as they don't really cope well ;) we did have a bit of shrinkage!

You can see the challenge HERE.

Scrapping catchup!

Last month vanished in a flash, so much so, I haven't shared some of the layouts completed at retreat last month :)

I think I had the colours from last months Kraft+ challenge in mind when I did this one...totally loved them & they worked perfectly with this photo I snapped one morning. How gorgeous is this wood veneer word by Heidi Swapp...I had to buy the pack simply for the words ;)

This background was inspired by Christin & her gorgeous watercolour backgrounds. It's fun to simply play...never really knowing how the background will turn out.

This last one, again...simply for fun. All 3 layouts I've used Kaisercraft paper pads, that's all I took to retreat for patterned paper. I've got such a collection of paper pads, it's great to use them & it's so easy with the range, you know it will all co-ordinate. Again, one of the Heidi Swapp words which I've painted.

Kraft+ March Challenge!

Wow, wow, wow...we had a brilliant response to our 1st challenge over @ Kraft+ last month, so fabulous to see! :) I'm sure you'll enjoy this months challenge too, it's certainly a gorgeous one! I love the variety of everyone's take on the sketch...so fabulous!

Our all that glitters sketch + sequins/glitter/gold/sparkles/bling...love it!

When I read sequins/glitter/gold & sparkles, I knew instantly which photo I wanted to use. Whom better than the 'queen of sequins, gold & sparkles' ;) Sadly the photography doesn't do the shimmer & sparkles justice here with the use of 'mega-flake' in the background, lots of glitter & sparkle everywhere.
Hop on over to the Kraft+ blog HERE where you'll find a feast for your eyes...there is certainly something to inspire you here.

Yikes! I can't believe we are in March already...seriously where did February go????

This months challenge over @ Show us Your Stuff is a brilliant quote challenge by Chloe, who is also this months sponsor with her gorgeous Rainbow Splendour goodies.

This quote simply evokes love & happiness to me, so instantly thought of my kids...here's what I did.
