Kookaburra double

 Today I made a double layout for a couple of different challenges.

First at Mystical they want handwritten journalling plus nuovo drops. (First layout below)

At Soul scrappers they wanted a double layout using at least 2 patterned papers plus numbers.

I had 7 photos of local kookaburras, so used those.

CKC Challenge #1

 A few years ago I made this layout.


Our first challenge this month at Counterfeit kit is using flowers and buttons. I based it on this, but of course different photo and colour scheme.

I found a green cardstock worked well and I used pink thread for the stitching. My buttons have been around for years, so I'm pleased to use those. The flowers are combining greens and greys with a couple of smaller handmade flowers from Autumn Lane.I adhered buttons as centres top the flowers.

The butterfly again I have had for years so added that into the mix. It matches the flowers in the photo.



Mystical hidden journalling and Freaky fast formula.

 This layout is for Mystical scrapbooking and features a tag containing hidden journalling.


The other criteria is to use nuovo drops which I don't have, but I used liquid pearls on the stars.

Everything on here is from my Counterfeit kit this month. 

I also used the recipe from Freaky fast formula on the scraproom group.

Soul Scrappers 3 banners.

 At Soul scrappers there is a use at least 3 banners challenge.

I decided to scrap this photo of the Uffizi gallery in Florence.

I matted on 2 different green papers and used a Kaisercraft paper from my kit as the background.

Under the photo mat I made a banner using scraps then glued a row of buttons along the row.

At the top of the page I placed a brad in the middle then tied 2 strings to the edges. I made more banners using scraps of paper. I added a couple more buttons there to balance my layout. 

I added a sticker saying "forever" plus 3 words and a quote.

Sketch 'n' scrap layout.

 

I've made this layout for Sketch 'n' scrap 


I used Jillybean soup chit chat chowder paper with pineapples on plus an American Crafts cut apart tag saying "Hello There"

I've also used an olive-green paper that had ink marks on it. (Amazing what you can hide with scrapbooking!).

My flowers and leaves are a mixture,but I think they work on here.


The yellow frame is even all the way around, the scanner cut off the bottom as usual.

Sketches in Thyme

 


I've made this layout for Sketches in Thyme.

Here's the original sketch which used lots of layering.


I found the wood veneer leaves in my stash and the flowers, cord, library sticker and Darkroom Door film strip are all in my kit.
