Krafting Clearly, It's a Challenge

G'Day All

Dropping in today to share my page for the Kraft+ challenge this month.

- I can see clearly. That is - Use something clear on your page.

I went with a beautiful Hambly Screen Print transparency.

Hambly is unfortunately no longer with us but I know a place

where you can still get your hands on some. I love these!

I cut out a matching oval from my kraft card background, stuck my Hambly on top,

then stapled my oval photo on it, so my picture has a clear frame around it, cool eh?!

The alpha title is transparent too, albeit with a tinge of grey.

I have been a bit liberal with my spray inks so it might be a little

hard to see the kraft cardstock, but I assure you it is there.

I like this page, the background evokes the spirit of the night,

and I love how the mist has given the white pen an ombre effect, happy accident.

Thanks for coming by,

'Til next time,

Hi there arty peeps, hope your day is going well

Today I'm sharing my page for the current K+ challenge, it seems lately this is the only monthly challenge I'm keeping up with.

Roses 3 ways - patterned paper, cut file kraft background, black die cut.

I used Tim Holtz Distress Oxides from Scrapping Clearly for the blotchy blue.

Last weekend I was retreating with Neet from Flutterby Designs at Lake Keepit, so much fun! I only managed one scrapbook layout and a few art journal pages, but I did get to hang out with some favourite friends and meet some great new ones.

Lucky me off on another road trip, to Melbourne for another retreat, weekend after next. Can't wait! Hope you are getting creative time too.

Scrapbooking challenge K+

Hi and Welcome,

to my sadly neglected little corner of the Blogosphere.

I must have too much on my plate creatively speaking, and unfortunately, this blog is what so frequently gets bumped. Sorry.

But, I'm here today, YAY!

And happy to share a page I've done for the K+ challenge blog.

This month the challenge was to use just one colour, and I know technically black isn't a colour, but what are you gonna do when your low-light photos need it to make them shine?

It just had to be black, don't you think?

Thanks for dropping by

Yours in scrappiness

Hi Y'all
This month I had a chance to play with the K+ challenge to use denim on your project. Mine is a pocket from an old pair of black denim jeans, the legs of which have already been made into wheat bags, we can never have too many of those in the house!

 I typed my story on a tag and tucked it in the pocket.

And I wanted to share this page which was up on the Scrapping Clearly blog in February just because I really like it :-)

I made it with the Kaisercraft 'Boho Dreams' collection papers and stickers with some Dylusions ink sprays for colour.

Keep an eye on the Scrapping Clearly blog in the next few days, I'm sharing my new arty love, such a fabulous thing!!
Thanks so much for coming by,

'Til next time, stay arty,

Sweet

Playing again at Kraft + this month since I have been enjoying their challenges so much. I also had the chance to get away to an intimate scrap retreat (only 9 of us!) last weekend at the Gold Mine Guesthouse in Nundle so got some pages done without having to scrounge time.

So this is my page

And this is the challenge, click on the graphic to go to the post.

The February challenge over at K+ was 'Going Postal' so I made a postal imprint pattern over my photo as if it was the stamp. Loving how these challenges are making me think outside the box.

Still a couple of days to get yours in, click on the image below to see the challenge post.

New Challenge Blog

A brand new challenge site hit the blogosphere this year, More Than Words.

It's fresh and funky so I thought I'd play along, having extra creative time thanks to school holidays.

I used these Words or Whatever Chippies - Title, summer themed.

This was the challenge, click on the image to go to the page

and come play along too.

Playing along with Kraft+ again this month, I scrapped a pic from the Artist retreat at Norah Head last year. This was something I got to cross off my bucket list, an intimate retreat with a spectacular venue, I could've stayed a lot longer!

The tissue paper I used was acquired in a Paris fashion shop 4 years ago,

ain't it gorgeous! And the title I designed and cut with my Silhouette, Words or Whatever now sell them with an added shamrock.

The challenge was to use your own handwriting.

K+ Challenge

I had some scrapping time yesterday where I actually scrapped! Yep, it kinda surprised me too. Inspiration and motivation has been scarce around here lately so cutting and pasting on a Sunday afternoon was a treat.

After a couple of warm-up pages I had a play with the September Kraft+

tri-hard challenge and came up with this....

This is the sketch, I mirrored it.

T'was fun.

Still time to have a go if you want.

Thanks for coming by

K+ April

And one for Kraft Plus for April

Thanks for looking

The K+ challenge for March is a sketch and sparkles, here's my page.

I'm working my way through some old photos at the moment in an effort to scrap rather than print.

Lots of different washi tapes from lots of different places, a pre-made background from cleaning up stencils used for other pages, Dymo, glitter stickers and a gorgeous flower stem from Imaginarium Designs.

It's based on this sketch, rotated and slightly modified.

There has been a kraft shaped hole in scrappy challenges since the demise of Kraft It Up so it's great to see a brand new challenge site for using kraft card.

The inaugural challenge is up this month and of course I had to play along.

This is my page...

and this is the challenge...
