The new challenge for August for KRAFT+ is another fabulous one... and yes I say that each month because they really really are!!! and it is...
To be inspired by trees, and you can use leaves and branches, or create a layout about a special tree from your memories...Well I was immediately inspired by the beautiful gum trees in my back yard.. I am blessed to live in a rural area and have such lovely trees and of course all the birds that come with that,... The sounds I hear every day of birds being busy squawking or laughing! Yes the Kookaburras are among my favorite bird, so I went out one day and snapped a few photos of my resident Kookaburra and began to create...
Kookaburra sits in the old gum tree.....
Merry merry king of the bush is he... haha as the song goes...
What do you think of when you think of trees... a cubby house when you were young, or a favourite holiday spot.. ?? I hope you can join in this month... Check out all the inspiration and link up on the KRAFT+ BLOG HERE!!!
Have a great day, thanks for coming by, and thank you to all those who leave comments, I do appreciate all of them...
For any of my friends who may not have heard a Kookaburra laugh check out this LINK HERE!!!
Very clever creating Lizzy, love the gum leaf die. The layers look amazing and even though we live in a small rural town each morning we get to hear a kookaburra in the distance...its beautiful. A Stunning and inspirational creation x
ReplyDeleteOh Lizzy this looks sensational, I agree with Janice very clever and the detail showcasing your photo is fabulous xx
ReplyDeleteA brilliant take on the challenge Lizzy!! Such a clever, and stunning, design! Love all the gum leaves and, I have to confess, I love Kookaburras too (couldn't resist taking a little peek at the video and loved it). Unfortunately we don't get them here but they are gorgeous!!
ReplyDeleteCan you believe it's August????? Crikey won't be long now and it'll be next year!!! LOL!! Notice, I didn't say the big C word!! Have to hurry up and get some of those cards made I think!! We're in for a lot of rain down here this week apparently but I do hope we will get to see the sun once in a while! Take care Lizzy .. hugs xx
Love love love love love this! LOVING all those fabulous layers!!!!!!!!!! And the Kookaburra is one of my fave birds!! You know ... A MILLION years ago when I was a Girl Scout, they had a Kookaburra Cookie during their annual cookie sale one year! I can't remember what it tasted like, and obviously it wasn't real Kookaburra's in the cookie, lol!! I just remember them having one with the name! :)
