Kraft Plus July challenge

Hi all, I am scraping this one in again this month. I so like to do the Kraft Plus challenge each month, but I seem to be having less time. However, I still have quite a few hours left in the day and it's the last day of the challenge, and I made it!!! So this months inspiration & requirement, was the moodboard and Sheet music and of course on a Kraft background. Here's the sweet board:



I was inspired by the Script, and sheet music, and flowers, and the two pastel colours of mint green and pinky/peach.

I started with a collage background of some torn sheet music and an old book page, then gessoed over the top of them. I then sprayed two different colours of Heidi Swapp Colorshine over that and when dry, I stamped a Newsprint background and Music stamp, both from Kaszazz. I had only the one piece of old sheet music paper which was given to me by one of my Art Journal students. How cool! I used a large strip for the banner and then placed some washi tape and some Amy Tangerine paper for another banner.

I love doilies, and this one was just what I needed to break up the colours. I got out my Kaszazz Ezy Press and die cut some love hearts, from the Dear Lizzy music paper and for my photo and photo mat. There's a cute little transparency piece with gold dots on it in there, that came in a pocket letter swap, love all the bits I have collected from my pals!!!
I jazzed up some paper flowers with Color Shine and the Newsprint stamp, joined 3 together with a cute Basic Grey brad. All the other flowers were re-coloured with Color shine.

My wood veneers are from Merci and Stampin Up, enamel dots from Francheville and the Thickers are Amy Tangerine!

I finished off with some cute little, white embossed music notes, and went around the edges of my page with some Colourbox fluid chalk ink. I'm happy to say I dug deep into some old stash for this challenge, the Dear Lizzy paper, the little black and white border stickers, from Cloud 9 I think, and the brads, all go back a long time, feels good to do that!!!!
Thanks for looking! See you next time!!!

Scrappingclearly July sketch DT entry.

Hi all, today I'm sharing my take on our own DT member, Chloe's awesome sketch! I'm up on the blog today with my interpretation! Here is the sketch:



And here's my layout using a mix of the fabbo Maggie Holmes Bloom and Dear Lizzy Happy Place papers and embellishments. (All can be found in the Scrappingclearly store!)

From my own stash I've used some Francheville enamel dots, a chippy title I have had in my stash forever and a day, can't even tell you who the supplier is :(, and I've painted it with some Ranger Distress Paints and Dylusions paints to get the right colour!

Love this pic of Taylah getting ready to go trick or treating with her friends when we lived in Port Douglas. Brings back lots of happy memories! Thanks for visiting!

CARDS FOR EVERY SEASON

Hi there! Today I have a neat little card to share which was inspired by a class over at Big Picture Classes. This one was a card class which is part of a series, and  the Spring cards are taught by Lea Lawson. I love the simplicity, and it was the inspiration I needed to create a card for an old school friend who lost her Mum recently. A sympathy card is always hard when it's specific, and I really struggled because this lady was such a beautiful lady and I just couldn't seem to find the right words and headspace to get it done. Thanks Lea !

I broke out my Ezy Press machine to emboss a dots background on white card! (haven't used that baby for awhile!) Plenty of doilies in my stash, so good to use one of those. There's a Maya Road butterfly on there, coloured with an alcohol ink marker, some Amy Tangerine papers and Francheville enamel dots! I finished the banner off with a lovely stamp from Kaszazz!
