Love and a Challenge!

Hello friends!

It's been a while since I have participated in a Scrappy Challenge so I thought I would tackle this months 

challenge over at 

Kraft+

 The April Challenge at Kraft Plus is called

Swatch it up!

 [pretty sure I will be swatching it up on a regular basis.....so many fabulous colours]

So, all I needed to do was visit my local hardware/paint store....pick out a few paint swatches to match my photo and away I went!

 I loved this photo my daughter-in-law took of her littlest man.....he's just so cute!!!

I teamed this photo with some appropriately named swatches as luck had it..... [Mint Crunch, Homestyle & Capsule] lol and also used a selection of Scrapmatts Chipboard & Stencils.

 

Thanks so much for stopping by

Hope you all had a fab Easter?

Until next time

Happy Krafting

*Major Case File #225 Solved* CSI & Scrapmatts

Well, SCRAPMATTS design team have been assigned to solve a Major Case File,

Here is how I solved Case #225 

Major Case File #225

 

Colour Scheme: All colours used.

Evidence: Stars, bunting, circles, wings

Testimony: Inspiration words-fly. My title 'Time to Fly the Nest'. (Journaling on back of layout).

After 18 years & 6 months of having you tucked safely under our wings, the time has come to let you fly! On the 5th of February, 2017 we drove you to your new home,UC Lodge at The University of Canberra. Studying for a Bachelor of Medical Science.

To create the word 'fly' I have used the very versatile Alphabet Stencil and paint.

I use this stencil a lot with my creating.....this way I can create whatever title I like!

 

I hope you have enjoyed looking at my layout as much as I enjoyed playing along with this case from

Creating for Craft Queen

Fancy that!

I actually made it back within the week to add a new post!

Today I wanted to share with you all a layout I have created using 

awesome products from

CRAFT QUEEN

Boutique Craft Supplies

Nicole has an amazing supply of stunning products

(You should pop on over & have a look through her online store).

Here is my latest layout.

 I have used the 

 Darkroom Door 'Fine Flowers' Stamp set

Distress Ink- Milled Lavender 

Stripe Ribbon 

Satin Seam binding 

Bronze Deer Head 

Tiny buttons 

I simply stamped lots of the Darkroom Door Fine Flowers on my base, then I stamped some onto some cardstock & fussy cut these out. Using the distress ink I added some colour to my base & to the flowers.

Added the Stripe Ribbon (which is one of my Fav's), tried a pretty bow using the Satin Seam Binding, created a few flower buds using the Satin Seam Binding & stuck these in place along with a few buttons and that gorgeous Bronze Deer Head. Lastly I hand drew the border around the outside & dabbed a little texture paste here & there!!!

 I am totally in love with this stamp set!!!!

Big thank you to little miss Ayva & her Mummy, Sarah for this gorgeous photo!

Here are a few cards I have designed using the same stamp set!

Thanks so much for stopping by

I do hope you like my creations!

Love & Hugs

There's Been a Mustard EXPLOSION @ Kraft+

Hello 

I know I've been a super slack blogger of late!

(Wow! March!!! was the last post I put up on my blog)

Well, I have returned!

Today, I want to share with you a layout I have created as a 

Guest Designer for 

Kraft + July Challenge 

Sandra has put together an awesome challenge

with a great visual prompt, which I will show you later in my post.

To create my layout I have used the

AMAZING NEW KIT
 'Favourite Little Something'

from

Scrappy Chat Designs 

(this kit was seriously HOT......I'm talking like sizzling hot!)

So here is what I created

 [Boys Will Be Boys]

On the 31st of May, Mason came off his skateboard which resulted in this break.....resulting in surgery the following day....I was so impressed with how brave my boy was!

 

Here is the inspiration picture that I'm sure will inspire you!

 The roll of tape in the top right & also the poster coming away from the wall inspired me....hence the top left-hand roll of my Kraft base and my tape like roll of Kaisercraft-Cut & Paste!

(below)

Yes, an EPIC break calls for a layout!

The Kaisercraft, Cut & Paste paper, cardstock, and the (awesome) Gold Faber-Castell Texture Luxe

from this fabulous kit + the cute embellies made this layout come together!

So Scrappy peeps if you get the chance make sure you play along at

Kraft+ this July 

and if you your looking for a GREAT KIT CLUB that supplies

amazing papers...the latest on trend goodies

you really should take a look at 

Scrappy Chat Designs

here is a look at this months kit!

It comes with 5 and a half patterned papers from different ranges. A piece of Kraft and a piece of black card stock as well as some Faber Castell Texture Luxe in the Gold. Perfect for this challenge and some gorgeous flakes from Stampendous, two paper straws and some twine. 

If you are interested in purchasing the kit, here is more information.

We will take you through using the product along with some staple items in your stash to make the 3 stunning layouts you can see in the graphic.  So get your willingness to learn as you create three different layouts with the help of THREE videos.  You are sure to nail all the techniques for each layout that don't have a view by date - you get to watch them forever if you wish!   

Kits are still $39 + Postage with LOADS of value for you money, as it is like doing 3 classes - all in the comfort of your own home!

They are self-paced class kits to complete in the comfort of your own home or with a group of friends
