Another kit layout.

 Another paper from this month's kit used with this layout. It's very busy because the photos have a lot in them. I used another 4 photos on the brown chevron paper. I added some yellow ric rac in 2 sizes and some wood veneers. On the side there is a round tag which was dipped in walnut ink and stamped. I used more of the TLC letters too.

Challenge yourself -circles

 I've been trying to use up alphas, so on this layout I started with 2 semi circles using alphas.

Next, I stamped and misted over the top. 

This created a mixed media background for my photos which are more of my wedding proofs.

I placed the proofs withing the circle and added the date of our wedding.

In the top corner I added a hot air balloon cut from an old picture dictionary. It has another circle as the balloon. I hand cut out clouds and added a blue border strip under the photos. It also has smaller circles as part of its design. The orange strip at the top similarly, has a circular design. 

sketch and scrap plus soul scrappers charm challenge

 Sketch 'n' scrap has this sketch

I prepared my 2 papers from my kit then used washi tape across top and bottom and an ombre ribbon across the middle.

I matted my 2 photos on large journal cards which had an autumn theme.

I added the border strip of butterflies across the top.

After placing my photos on the page, i added several puffy stickers that had a nature theme and 3 sticker hearts. I added 2 circular tags at the bottom and the word awesome. I also added "The voice of spring" tag under my photo. Lastly, I added the title including the word charming which qualifies me for Soul Scrappers charm challenge. 

Li'l red wagon

 Li'l red wagon wants black white and one other colour.

I chose mauve. 

I've used a crimson red card but if you ignore that the actual card fulfills the entry. 

Time out challenges

 At Time out challenges they want a card featuring coffee.

Here's one I made using an AST I had previously done. It features a jar of coffee.

I also used wet coffee to dye or stain the paper on the playing card. 

Soul Scrappers poltergeist challenge plus another one to match.

 This layout is for another challenge at Soul Scrappers where we had to feature a child, a teddy bear and outlined title.

On here I used an offcut in neutral colour as my mat plus a rather colourful journal card. I had to hand draw then cut out my teddy bear and similarly hand write my title word, "sharks". I added a wire boy top left 2 stars on toothpicks top right and used decorative scissors on my sign.

It is based on sketch #632 at Sketches in Thyme.

                                                          **********************

This second layout was on the same day same place so I decided to make it a double. I used 3 pieces of 6x6 paper on my grid background. I used the same striped ribbon plus navy washi tape for my vertical strips. There's another tag for more journalling.

Soul Scrappers sketch and colour challenges

 My next layout is for a sketch challenge at Soul Scrappers

I had a portrait photo of a dog so here's my layout.

I used some puffy stickers on this plus 2 lots of satin ribbon that I've had for years.

The next challenge at Soul Scrappers is a colour challenge

My mind went to an old church we visited while on holiday

I used 3 layered journal cards on this plus a flair, a brad, a chipboard buckle and a backpack from my kit.

In case you haven't worked it oput the papers were cut and both parts used on these 2 layouts.
