September Kraft Plus challenge

The September 'Tri Hard' challenge over at Kraft Plus Challenges is an awesome one. Combining our love of all things kraft with a fantastic sketch by The Nifty Pixel, it is sure to inspire you! The triangle theme from this year's E2C provided the perfect theme for my hybrid page.

I've used an Ali Edwards digital stamp along with a Just Jaimee mist/paint element and, after planning where they were going to be positioned, printed them directly onto my paper.

Digital materials: Ali Edwards 'What today looked like'; Just Jaimee Dec Storyteller

The little triangles (which I have been hoarding) were from our E2C goodie bags :)  There are also a couple of acrylic triangles from Pink Paislee's Citrus Bliss ephemera pack.

 

The photo booth provided hours of entertainment. I have never laughed my way through complete days like I did in Port Lincoln. Special people, special place.

The sketch is below. Check out Emma's incredible work by heading to her blog and if you're a digi scrapper or enjoy dabbling with digital, you can grab the free template while you're there, which can be used for the challenge!

Happy scrapping!

This is what fun looks like - Kraft+

Sheesh, it's been a while between drinks! 

I have loads to update, but before I do, I want to tell you all about the new March challenge at Kraft Plus!

If, like me, you have a bit of a penchant for all things sparkly, you are going to love it! A fabulous sketch, plus something glittery. Include whatever catches the eye, be it metallics, sequins, glitter... enjoy!

 

Here is my page, using a kraft base and the new Simple Stories 'Say Cheese II' collection, which is available in the Sassy Scrappers store now.

I have been waiting to scrap this photo for ages and the sketch (which I've rotated 90 degrees counterclockwise) with it's strips, has finally granted me my wish! My kids were going stir crazy during a couple of days of wild weather outside and so we took to some shredding (which makes them ridiculously happy!) They had the best time just covering each other up with the shreds and throwing it - crazies!!

I've trimmed lots of little strips of paper and lined them up, imperfectly on my page. I've included some gold foil spotty kraft as well as some textured gold glitter cardstock. These were then machine stitched down. The paper ruffle was created by punching along the length of a strip of paper, then gently folding it by hand, into the ruffle shape. I then machine stitched along the top bit to secure it down and popped it behind my photo.

I have a bit of a habit when it comes to covering a dotted pattern with enamel dots or something similarly circular! On this 3x4 Sn@p card, I have added some gold rhinestones to the letter 'U' for some fun.

Lots of little details finish the page, like sequins, rhinestones, my fave glitter enamel dots, glitters stickers and rub-ons. I am sure you will have lots of fun with this challenge - we are all looking forward to seeing what you create!

Thanks so much for popping in!

Kraft Plus Challenge Blog

Kraft Plus (K+) is well and truly alive and kicking! If you love kraft and love amazing challenges, you have got to pop over to the brand spanking new blog to see the challenge for February and to see the amazing DT examples!

This is the first challenge for Feb, entitled 'Mango Breeze'. Bear in mind, it's not a moodboard challenge, it's a colour challenge, so you can interpret it any way you like and best of all, you can submit pretty much whatever you are inspired to create, including Digital, as long as it's based on kraft. Yippee!

 

Here is my page for Feb. I was completely inspired by the gorgeous colour combination this month and have paired the soft florals with some rough edges and messy stitching.

Lots of layering. The 'seriously' 3x4 card is from the Heidi Swapp Project Life kit.

The Maggie Holmes obsession continues, with some hand embossing using the die cuts from the Open Book floral ephemera pack. If you have the Volume 17 No 6 issue (Christmas issue) of Scrapbooking Memories Magazine, I have a tutorial on this technique on page 57.

There are heaps of awesome goodies up for grabs as prizes each month and loads of inspiration! I hope you will join us as soon as you can ;)

Thanks for stopping by!
