Never Stop Dreaming... Kraft PLus challenge - November 2018

Hello!!

Gosh, who knew having a craft store would mean sooo very little time to actually CRAFT ?

Anyway, I had a holiday at the shop this afternoon and created a layout for the Kraft Plus challenge - Mosaic

The image looks like this,

I like how all those little tiles square up into a beautiful pattern.

I chose a school photo of one of our great nephews - yes, nearly the end of the school year... and then it will be time for new school photos!!

Our youngest child has know finished school, and while I have a FEW years to catch up on for school photos, it's always nice to scrap someone a photo as a gift to them - preserve memories!!

Kraft cardstock plus -

Stamp Darkroom Door - over the background, across a couple of edges, and so it disappears into the background - yes, it has an image of a couple of older gentleman... this young bloke will grow up one day - along with a bunch of masculine imagery that makes up a 'mosaic' background?

Sofie and Andrew at Scrapmatt's create fabulous designs and this 'Mosaic' design seemed a great fit across the stamping with a little embossing paste.

Stapled some twine vertical on the left,

tucked a tag under the photo on the right to add some journalling,

randomly added paste and crackle to the chipboard swirl,

adhered a title from Little Birdie

a felt circle, a key, a metal corner to the tag and finish with a Kaisercraft Mosaic wood piece!!

The stamping is not perfect,

the grid is not straight,

I put it together still wet

but,

I think it's a fun layout!!

Thank you for visiting,

Kraft Plus - September challenge 2017

Hello Kraft Plus!!

It's been so long since I had some spare time to participate in the challenge,

and then I saw the September 

"What's the Buzz"

challenge, 

the hexagons, bees and a hint of yellow

I picked up some bits and pieces from here and there,

and created a layout!!

It's a good one, hey?

Kraft, hexagons, my BEAutiful family (well, minus Tim) and a hint of yellow - 

A cute D-lish Scraps Glitter bow in gold

I love how the Decoart crackle paste soaks up the spray colour from underneath - beautiful effect?

Have you participated in the Kraft Plus challenge?

if not... why not give it a go this month!!

Kraft Plus - Out of the Box - May challenge - Imaginarium designs sponsoring

Imaginarium Designs
is one of the fabulous sponsors at 

KRAFT PLUS
challenges this month

so I had a sneak peek at the 'theme'

Out of the Box

I do remember a few years ago, okay ...almost 20 - that I loved to 'chop up' photos and shape them to 'match' the page - people were slightly horrified at the thought... it's a 10cent reprint nowadays - bonus!!

So I found some choppable photos and some Imaginarium Designs chipboard and this is what happened -

Don'y forget to get your entry in this month!!

Magical Moment



Echo Park paper co has a fabulous 'Magic and Wonder' Collection which has the colours and imagery of 'Minnie, Mickey and Disney' - so much fun!!



How lovely is this 'Lamp post' chipboard from Imaginarium Designs, I've simply inked it with pearly white ink and made it part of the supplementary title - you could also print a small photo to fit the circle frame - it has a great tapered design.

Photos are from when Phoenix celebrated her FIRST birthday - her Mum and Dad dressed up as Minnie and Mickey... so cute!!
