A catchup...

It doesn't seem so long ago that I was saying 'I'm back' & I'm saying it again, as I've been recovering from another trip to hospital, this time for surgery! Hopefully this is the end of it...I can only hope! This year has certainly been a bit of a roller coaster ride, haha aren't they all in varying degrees.

Anyway, here's a bit of a catch-up of my creations...I'll confess, these are rather old ones...

This one is photo's from my cruise last year, the paper range from Kaisercraft, the chipboard & stencil from A2Z Scraplets.

I love this paper, again from Kaisercraft...the colours, the different patterns, it's a really interesting range.  Here I've used more A2Z Scraplets chipboard.

These photo's were from after the big storm that hit Sydney shores, I was lucky enough to snap this photo...isn't nature amazing!

I used crackle gloss on my title, to give it a weathered looked.

Thank you for stopping by & any comments you may leave are much appreciated, thank you!
Happy scrapping!

Kraft+ Challenges...

Hello...I know, I'm one super slack blogger!!!
I'm hoping that will change, fingers crossed things are finally on the improve for me health wise & I can get back into some normal routine. I certainly have a bit to share, but rather than one massive overload, I'll break it into bite size pieces ;)

Here is my DT layout for last month's gorgeous 'rose 3 ways' challenge. I used gesso with a Kaisercraft stencil on my background & with some colour blast on the tag. I've also used a wooden rose, a resin rose & a couple of fabric ones.

....& this month's 'tree inspired' challenge. Here's the inspiration...

...& here's my take on the challenge, my focus was on the journaling as it's about a tree from my childhood & as the tree no longer stands, I pinched a photo from the internet. For my background I tried to replicate the weeping willow leaves with a stencil & gelatos. I kept the layout fairly basic as it was already looking fairly busy with all the writing.

We are only days away from a new month & a gorgeous new challenge. Seriously, where is the year going!!!
Thank you for stopping by...be back shortly to share more.
Happy scrapping!
