My DT take on the Scrappingclearly October sketch

Hi again, I can't believe that it's October, just so scary how fast these months are flying by. Oh well, at least there are always lots of scrappy challenges to keep my crafty mojo happy. I love being part of a Design Team, and at Scrappingclearly, we now have a sketch and a moodboard each month, which really does help inspire me for my DT samples.
So here is the sketch this month:




And here is my layout! I was even inspired by the colours in the sketch this month!

The background paper was already awesomly coloured, but to add a little more, I blended some Distress inks, made some Distress Stain spots and did a little stamping with stamps from Kaszazz, Heidi Swapp and Urban Crafter.
I've used papers & ephemera by Pink Paislee, Washi stickers from Heidi Swapp and Maggie Holmes and Crate Paper, & a fabulous chipboard piece from 2 Crafty! (Just love these large acetate numbers from the Pink Paislee, Cest La Vie range!)

My title alphas are from American Crafts and Amy Tangerine, (have been waiting for the right project to use these on!!!) The sparkly pink hashtag is from a pack of Heidi Swapp alphas from Scrappingclearly, and the cute little bow is from Crate Paper and Maggie Holmes.

I'm glad I've got this photo scrapped, another piece of my daughter's life, she loved her dancing when she was little, I so wish she would get back into it now!

Kraft Plus Feb Going Postal Challenge

So this one made me happy, as I have sooooo many postage stamps from my collecting days when I was young. What better way of using them, than on a scrapbook page!!!
This was the criteria in this month's Kraft Plus Blog Challenge:


Use postage stamps and a Kraft background!!! Here is my take on the challenge!

I have been stash busting alot lately, and used up some of my old Kaisercraft papers! I did lots of stamping on my background. Stamps by: Kaszazz, Urban Crafter & Collected & Co. I've had this cute little clock embellishment in my stash, from Craft Queen for a long time, love it!

I used some Black Gesso through a Kaszazz stencil for some texture, a couple of Prima flowers, old brads & of course some postage stamps!!! My journaling is hidden behind the photos!
