Jot Magazine November Mood Board Challenge

Hi there, I have just scraped in on the last day, and last few hours actually, to play along with the November Moodboard challenge over at Jot Magazine. I just couldn't go past this beautiful colour scheme, which was put together by the lovely Kim Jeffress!! It's gorgeous!! Take a look...



Here's my layout inspired by these gorgeous colours!!!

I started off with some Echo Park papers, and gave the background a generous splash of Dylusions paints. Love the Bubblegum Pink and the Lemon Zest together!!! I then stencilled on some Soft Gloss Gel, mixed with a little paint, through a The Crafter's Workshop Stencil.

I used a large doily as a mat, and layered some more EP patterned papers & sticker accents, Heidi Swapp Paper, Kaisercraft Collectables, Chickaniddy enamel shapes and assorted flowers. I re-coloured nearly all of the flowers I used with either Heidi Swapp Colorshine, or Distress Inks & water. Finished off with a Heidi Swapp acrylic title. Pretty happy with this one. Love this photo of my daughter who looks so very pretty!!!

Kraft Plus November Challenge

It's nearing the end of the month, so I'm trying to catch up on a few blog challenges! This month's Kraft Plus Challenge, is to be inspired by PINK, the artist, not the colour!! and of course a Kraft background. Here's the album cover I picked as my inspiration:

I chose the colours of this album cover as my inspiration and they happened to be Christmas colours, so I have gone with a Christmas themed layout!! Here's my layout:

I've used some gold foil cardstock from Kaszazz, along with their Jolly Christmas range of papers. Kraft background of course, some Heidi Swapp foil stars & arrow, sequins, washi tape, Kaszazz stamps, Dylusions Sprays and the Poinsettia flowers I am over the moon to finally use as they have been in my stash for a very long time!! They were from Sanook paper Company in San Francisco!! TFL.

Wow, can't believe I cracked 2 case files in one week. Mojo must be coming back!! Here's a pic of the latest case file no. 182, over at CSI.

Angels, Alpha stickers- Prima, Chipboard word-Blue Fern Studios from Scrap Matrix, Computer font for journalling, Gesso, Art Markers- Kaszazz and Glossy accents to highlight the chipboard word.

CSI COLOR STORIES INSPIRATION MAJOR CASE FILE NO 181

So, feel like I finally got my mojo back after a crazy 4 days in Adelaide. I was pretty exhausted when I returned and couldn't do alot. This Case file was a bit challenging for me at first,I had already put one kit together, and then decided it just wasn't working, so after a break and some different photos of my son being a dare devil, it all came together.
here is the Case file and the sketch for no. 181..


And here is my take on the Case File:

I have used some gorgoeus AUTHENTIQUE PAPERS, courtesy of the lovely Vicki from SCRAP MATRIX!!! From Kaszazz, I have used, cardstock, stamps, inks, Alcohol Ink Art markers, twine & metal slides. Other stamps used are Basic Grey, Papercraft & Kelly Purkey. Kaisercraft rub ons, Stickers & alphas-Authentique, thickers, Bella Cork alphas. & Collected & Co. Enamel dots and triangles from Francheville and Chickaniddy. There's also some washi tape & acrylic paint included!!!
Here's a few close ups!!! Love the look on Jack's face in the bottom pick. Shows the excitement for sure!
