Here is my layout, titled"LUCKY US"!

In 2012, our family spent 4 months travelling the Northern Territory and South Australia. We camped at the Flinders Ranges for about 4 days, and the wildlife we saw was amazing, One of the highlights was seeing this EMU and it's chicks walking along the road. We stopped to take it all in, it was truly an amazing moment!
I've used some October Afternoon & Amy Tangerine papers, kaszazz cardstock, Merci embellishments, flowers & eyelets I've had in my stash for a long time!!! ( I love using up old stash among with some new items, such as the Kaisercraft alphas!) There's some stencil work with inks and Distress paints. The crafter's Workshop & Kaszazz stencils!) TFL!

Kraft Plus Challenge for May

Well, I've accomplished a double layout and a single so far this week. Feeling chuffed. I actually struggled with double layouts, well still do really, but am challenging myself to push through and step out of my comfort zone, thanks to my friend Vicki at Scrap Matrix. I'm teaching at the Scrap Matrix studio, and have done a few doubles now, and it's amazing how many pics you can fit on a double layout if you try!! So getting my stories told faster is a great feeling!
Today I have a single layout here, which is for the Kraft Plus month of may challenge. Here's their gorgeous mood board:

And I was inspired by the colours firstly, I love orange, and i also love the books and the beads in the bracelet, i think I have incorporated quite a few of the elements as inspiration.













The photos are from our 2012 trip from NT to SA in our camper trailer. The place was COWELL, and we loved it. Dave always makes sure the kids have fun and if there's a playground a swing or anything else to find adventure, we will go, see and do!!!
