Kraft plus -Travel

 

Four years ago I made this layout for let's get sketchy. I really liked it!

At Kraft it up this month the theme is travel ,so I looked back and found the above layout.

I decided to use the same sketch idea on this new layout.

I had some background paper with mottled blues,whites and a sea green. I matted my 2 photos in blue.

I found the remaining St Tropez range items in my stash (there isn't much) and used 2 of the journal cards on here. To add 3D interest I found torn gauze plus twine, using both in small amounts. I've also added some enamel dots.

Using bubble wrap, I softly inked on the background with cyan.   I've layered that with painted chipboard and another circle sticker on the left and a quote on the right "The world is a book and those who do not travel read only a page."

Christmas tradition -Muppets

 This layout is just for fun. It is part of Christmas last year. We usually watch a movie on Christmas afternoon and one of our favourites is The Muppets Christmas Carol.

The background paper is the one I forged by drawing branches across it and it provided a good neutral backdrop for these 3 photos.

The other 2 papers are offcuts and my alphas are a combination of 2 brown alphabet sets I had in the kit..

I've also used a tag, plus a few Jillybean soup stickers ,including those I stuck on the photos.

The scraproom change challenge and jumpstart sketch.

 For the scraproom group they asked us to use the letters in CHANGE to create a layout.

C=Crate paper (birds) 

H=happiness

 A=alphas,ampersand 

N=numbers 

G= green flower and grape button

 E=embroidery cotton and Echo Park (yellow gingham)

Now I have copied the CHANGE letters from my post on facebook blogger is highlighting everything.

My other layout for The scraproom is this one. It is based on the jumpstart sketch.

I turned it 90 degrees to suit the landscape photos.

Watercooler Wednesday

 I've made a feminine card for watercooler wednesday. 

I had sewing themed papers with a vintage feel, so did a collage using 2 ladies I fussy cut out, plus a glove and a pink lace sticker. At the top I used a tab plus threaded through some more dressmaker paper.

My sentiment says Congratulations, I'm sure it will be handy.

January CKC Forgery on the Fourth.

 

Here are the kit papers. I didn't have anything with the black and white branches 4th from left so I forged that one using a zig pen.

Scrap our stash

 The challenge at SCrap our stash is a recipe challenge.

We are asked to use ONE word title, TWO photos, THREE embellishment clusters, FOUR patterned papers and FIVE enamel dots,sequins or jewels.

My layout is about the day we demolished the childhood cubby house and features my nephew so it is a "blokey" layout. Not suitable for jewels or sequins. I managed to find 5 green enamel dots however.The 4 papers are there, one being the two colourful circles I cut. The three embellishment clusters are there. 

1st double layout using January kit.

 For this layout I used 2 Pink Paislee Captivating papers.

The busy pattern needed some hiding. I thought the woodgrain one teamed well ,as my photos mainly were trees and I used cork pieces to carry on the tree theme.

I've also used twine and embroidery cottons twisted as a trim under my photos ,an orange butterfly that matched perfectly and some mini Jillybean soup words that described the day.

My alphas are large and are from BELLA. They needed to stand out against all that.

I had a 2nd orange paper so decided to make a double layout. These photos are looking towards the lake itself and show activities there.

Again, I used the cork sticker and the twine and embroidery cotton twist. I've used the same chipboard alphas to do the date. The sunray in the corner is cut from a scrap I added to my kit.

Here's the 2 layouts stitched together.
