Challenge #1 CKC -Tickets.

 Ticket to ride was the inspiration for challenge #1 at Counterfeit Kit Challenge.

In other words use tickets on your layout.


I had quite a few tickets that I put in my Counterfeit Kit so I used the lot! 

I've done this clock face idea before and it works so here it is again. Earlier this month I scrapped a layout about going to an Island Feast on Norfolk Island. This is page 2 for that.


Sketch 'n' scrap


Sketch 'n'scrap on facebook has this sketch.

For my interpretation I have used all kit items and I'm happy how it turned out.

I cut the large flower in half and the smaller flower also.This enabled me to put both halves in various places on my layout. Top left I added a chipboard daisy as well.


In Cowra there was a prisoner of war camp during ww2. Those who died there ,were buried in a Japanese cemetery ,specially built.

This is what this layout is about.

Less is best.

 Another paper from my kit was this MME flocked paper named Black Finch. I think it was expensive so I didn't want to ruin it. I matted my photo on spotted acetate and ran some washi tape underneath as my title. The photo does the work on here.

Kraft plus and Challenge YOUrself

 I've made this layout for Kraft plus  on Facebook.

They want generational family layouts


and at Challenge YOUrself the theme is "We are family"

I'm combining the 2 this month with a vintage photo.

I've used a photo of my grandfather Roy with Mum and my sister and I.  (Taken about 1961.)


The Kraft background is from Bella and is called quad.

I followed on from the square idea and used 2 frames I had in my kit plus a Kraft ticket and 2 smaller rectangles that toned.

I added a chipboard title painted pink under the photo plus several navy bows.. There are 3 small pennant shaped stickers from my kit that say Love and Family, also in pink and navy.My background was created with white acrylic paint and a Kaisercraft stamp, also rectangular.

Paper Issues -sketch a day X 3

 First there was this one





 Then there's this one which I'm really happy with.



And also this hexagon crazy one. I used Jillybeen soup hexies that I have been hoarding.
The empty outline was used to ink through to soften the layout.





3 more layouts done for my Norfolk Island album.

The male room and Cardz 4 guyz.

 I'm waiting on a tradesman so thought I'd make some cards.

My first is for The Male Room where monochrome is called for.

I rather like black and white and this background paper was in my kit. It suited this challenge.

The large black circle is a beer coaster and the square is packaging from Bella bling..I added washi tape for my sentiment and a scrap of gingham paper. 

The card could be for either male or female.


And at Cardz4guyz  the theme is summer.

I've made a card about the beach for a friend's son who loves surfing.. I tore vellum to create the waves and used a couple of wood veneer starfish./ My sentiment says "Make waves"



Paper Issues- sketch a day

 Each day during July, Paper Issues is giving us a sketch.

Here's one I chose to do today


I've adapted it to suit my 3 photos but the essence of it is there.


I misted over a chicken wire mask to create the hexagons then used ribbons for my side strips. I added a stamp with trees as my corner feature instead of flowers.
