May Kraft+ Challenge

Hello, this month over at Kraft+ we have a fabulous SKETCH challenge...who doesn't love a good sketch to get the ball rolling. I personally love it when most of the thinking is taken away from me, so absolutely LOVED this month's challenge.

I'm loving art journaling at the moment, so wanted to adapt it for that, which I think worked well. I flipped the sketch around on it's side and stuck pretty close to the sketch, even pulling out the sewing machine for some stitching.

I used Dina Wakley's Collage Collective book, soooo loving that at the moment too, even bought myself a 2nd one. The figure here is actually from her chipboard packaging :)
Once again the DT have done an outstanding job with all their inspiration, I highly recommend checking out their creations over on the blog HERE.
I look forward to seeing what you do with this challenge.
Thank you so much for stopping by, I also thank you for any comments you may leave me :) I do appreciate them x
Happy scrapping!

Kraft+ March Challenge

This month over at Kraft+ Challenges, we want you to embrace all things.... 

METALLIC AND JEWELS

with our 'Jewellery Box' challenge!

I had fun creating this layout, starting with creating the background with Ranger Gel Plates and Tim Holtz metallic distress paint. I got this very lush base, which sadly was impossible to photograph, but I do love it! I then heat embossed some AALL and Create border stamps by Louise Nelson, popping a jewel/bling in the centre of the circles.

Here are some close-ups...

Check out the Kraft+ blog HERE to see all the DT gorgeous creations.

Thank you for stopping by and a huge thank you for any comments you may leave me. I do appreciate them x

February Challenge!

Hello, how quickly did January go!!! The bonus of a new month is always new challenges to inspire you, hopefully the challenge over at Kraft+ will inspire you to join in.

I had my layout all planned out in my head, as I had joined a Book Club last year, I was going to base it around that. When I sat down at my desk, I had bits and pieces laid out for a journal page which I was doing on the burlap page in my Dina Wakley journal alblum and I looked at it and thought..."that is the colour of kraft, could that pass as kraft?" Haha and from there my journal page morphed into what it is now, all because I had the tag with some dictionary paper on it.

It may be hard to see, but the first word on the dictionary page is Bridal and at the time, there was no real thought about it. Once I had picked my quote, I chose the bridal couple because 'heart' made me think of love and it went on from there.

Hello 2019!

Hello, how crazy to have another year behind us! I'm seriously hoping this one doesn't vanish as quickly as the last!

Over at Kraft+ this month, we want you to be inspired by INDIGENOUS ART! How gorgeous is this inspiration...

The last time I was at the Sydney Art Gallery looking at the Archibald Exhibit, I was taken by the Aboriginal art...the scale and detail was amazing! I wondered if I would have the paitence to do that. Haha I didn't really find out, as I completed my layout yesterday afternoon...it was definitely a 'quickie', as time was a real factor.

I started with a spotted stencil & some paint to match my photo. Then with Posca pens, dotted around a few of the spots. I'm tempted to have another go at this challenge, we'll have to see. As usual, I don't seem to get the time I would like at my scrap desk...it is one of my goals for 2019, fingers crossed I can get myself better organised and allow myself more 'me' time.
You must pop over to the Kraft+ blog, as the girls have done an outstanding job as usual. We also have two amazing Guest Designers joining us this month...it's a must see :)
Happy New Year and happy scrapping!

November Kraft+ Challenge!

Hello, another month down & it's almost coming to the end of another year! I swear life did not move this fast as a child!

Today I'm sharing with you, the fabulous challenge over at Kraft+, where it is all about MOSAIC. How gorgeous are these graphics by Amanda Hall <3 p="">

When I saw this stencil by Stencil Girl, I knew it was perfect for this challenge, so I had to buy it! I had an idea of what I wanted, using the gel plate, unfortunately it didn't quite work out exactly as what was in my head, but I love it anyway.

With the addition of the Kaisercraft Collectables, it was a fairly quick & fun layout to put together.
To see what the other DT came up with, pop over HERE, as they did an amazing job again!
Happy scrapping!

Kraft Plus MIni Challenge...

Did you see that Kraft Plus posted a mini challenge last weekend? I was lucky enough to be at retreat, so gave it a go.

We have a 'Freebie' basket at retreat...you know, all the stuff that people no longer want, but it's perfectly good, so offer it up for others to use. In there was this fabulous sheet from Darkroom door, so I grabbed it for the feature of my page as it was perfect for the 'friends' theme of the month. I've also been itching to create on the 'kraft' pages of the Dina Wakley art journal album, so that's exactly what I did for this challenge.

These Darkroom Door photo strips are perfect for this challenge, I love it! I've used a lot of Dina Wakley products here, the new heart stencil, heart & word stamps, and washi tape. I've also used some stamps from Kaisercraft. Love sticker is from Heidi Swapp.
Thank you for stopping by and a huge thank you for any comments you may leave me. Haha I seriously don't know if anyone is reading my blog these days??? It's so easy with Facebook and Instagram, that I'm neglecting my blogging...writing & visiting!
Happy scrapping!

October Kraft Plus challenge!

Ok, so it's no surprise that I'm one very slack blogger...Instagram and Facebook, so make everything so easy.

I'm sure you've all seen the fabulous challenge over at Kraft+ this month. We want you to embrace friendship and all it's glory. I know I'd be lost without my friends.

I'm blessed with a lot of beautiful friends, but for this challenge it seemed perfect for one friend in particular! I had already created a few backgrounds while with her at retreat earlier this year. I was also lucky enough to borrow her newly released AALL&Create stamps...how gorgeous are her 'landscape lines', I love them! I'm sure you can why I chose this gorgeous soul for my layout. It's heavily inspired by here...haha you can't help that when creating in her company, what she does with the gel plate is absolutely amazing!

The rest of the DT team have, as always, outdone themselves...check them out HERE. We do hope you'll join us this month.
Happy Scrapping!
