Kraft Plus August Challenge

Hi all, well, where did the month of July go, do you know??? Far out, the year is flying by!
Today I'm sharing my Design Team layout for Kraft Plus! The challenge this month is to either scrap about a particular tree/trees or use leaves and branches and trees for inspiration. Let me just say this one had me stumped!!! Ha ha, did you like my pun?? Here is the inspiration board anyway>>>




Here's my layout!

I've used up some Kaisercraft papers and Captured moments cards, (Paradiso and Getaway!) It feels good to use stash that I've had for awhile!

On my background, I started with some shimmery, Starburst Color Shots, from Lindy's Stamp Gang. These are just gorgeous!!! I also flicked some Dylusions inks on there! The leaves stamp was perfect, this one came in a set attatched to one of the magazines.

The bird and words are from the Paradiso sticker sheet!

I tucked my journaling behind the photo. The palm trees are from Rex Smeal Park in Port Douglas, my home for 18 years. So many times we sat there, watching the world go by and the tourist boats come in. I took my client's there for Wedding and Portrait photo shoots, and we got married just nearby.

The chipboard flags are from my Design Team kit from Memory Maze and I've coloured them with Distress Stain, which works beautifully, for some subtle colour.

I hope you like my layout, this is another story I'm glad I have doucmented!
