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 moodboard inspiration

Hi everyone, just sharing my Design Team take on this month's moodboard over at Scrappingclearly. Did you know they have 2 challenges per month now, a sketch and moodboard! Totally cool, the inspiration is great! Here is the wintery, warm inspiration for you:



I really went for it with Gold, for this layout, I knew the perfect papers and accessories I had in my collection of DT goodies would be perfect for this layout of my beautiful boy. Can't believe this was 10 years ago, really, where on earth do the years go???

I have been working with the Maggie Holmes, Bloom range and the Dear Lizzy, Happy Place collection. I just love the gold foil vellum from the Bloom collection. I also have quite a bit of product left from the Teresa Collins Life Emporium range. (The chipboard stickers, & wood dots you can see below.)

There's also some Heidi Swapp product on there, of course, and a doily and some of those really cool glitter dots which just keep going! (Yes, best $2 shop find ever!) Had to finish off with some of the Gold Foil Thickers, which are so shiny, love them!!! If you would like to know a few more details or find out where you can get most of the products I have used, there is a link to the Scrappingclearly blog above, my post on the blog will link you straight to them!

Thanks for visiting, see you next time!

Scrappingclearly DT post for the June moodboard

Hi all, I have a post on the Scrappingclearly blog today with this fun layout, using the Maggie Holmes Bloom collection, available in store here:
I took my inspiration from the June Moodboard, and think I have covered nearly all the elements in the image.

I had fun with some paint dabbers and Gold Marquee Love tape from Heidi Swapp. There's lots of paper layering and fussy cut butterflies from the BLOOM paper, Gold Foil Thickers, yum, and a few other bits and pieces from the Bloom collection!

The journaling on the front of the layout tells you, I made a boo boo and scrapped the wrong title for these images, that were actually taken on Christmas night, also my son's birthday! Ah, what the hey, it was a celebratory day and I have written on the back of the layout and told the story behind the photos!!! If you want to know more about the products used, go along to the Scrapping Clearly blog to read my detailed post! Thanks for visiting!!!

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!
