Soul Scrappers Mystery Bag challenge, 49andMarket July Sketch

 Hello there, I trust things are going well with you.. I have a couple of layouts to share with you today.. I have been trying to do more creating so I want to pop them on my Blog before the month gets closer to finishing.. the days seem to be flying by!!

The first layout is for the Mystery Bag challenge over at Soul Scrappers on Facebook  which this month is to use Filmstrips on your layout.. 

Well I love film strips and I havent used them in a long while so this was good to use them on my layout.. I have used an older range of Kaisercraft papers and there was film strips on these papers as well as cutting some dies and adding them to my layout as well..

a couple of closer views..

some stencilling on the background and some water colors..

lots of layers! 

these moments

This photo is of my Grand daughter and I taken when she was one year old.. I have been wanting to scrap this for a long while.. so glad I have scrapped it now.. a precious moment...

The second layout I would like to share is for the sketch over at 49andMarket  which I have used like this...

I have mirrored the sketch to suit the papers I have used.. I have used lots of the rubons, to frame my photo.. I took a photo before I glued my photo down.

I cut the rubons so there is very little hidden under the photo...love to get as much out of the products as possible..  I have used the beautiful papers from the ARToptions range called Alena.. so pretty,,

You fill my heart.

I created a simply embellished page as the rubons are so pretty.. I mat the photo twice and put some Kaisercraft rhinestones around the photo for some sparkle.. I added some paint splats in white and tangerine just to finish the page.. 

So two more layouts created! Thanks so much for coming by, do take care.. until next time..

The Scrapbookers Journal Publication

 Hello there! I hope you are all keeping warm if you are like me in the middle of Winter.. Personally I am not a winter person, the days are too short and I have to come inside from the garden earlier!! But I do like the warm fire we have in the lounge!

I am just sharing my layouts that were recently published in the online magazine Scrapbookers Journal (on Facebook)  which is a wonderful magazine online.. I have a layout in Issue 3 and in Issue 4 and I would like to share the layouts with you..

My layout was for the multi  photo layout..

Kraft + July Challenge

 Hello and Hello July! June flew by and I reckon the last half of this year is gunna go by quickly too..

  I am just popping up my layout for the July Challenge for Kraft+ and this is kinda sad too as it might be the last challenge for this group. Paula has done an amazing job keeping the challenges coming each month but things change and she can no longer continue.. I am really hoping someone might have the time and experience to keep it going as it has been one of my favourite challenges.. And I have loved being on the Design Team... 

So without further ado, the July challenge...

To be inspired by this mood board and colors... on a base of Kraft of course

and I loved this board, I thought straight away of a beachy layout... 

Closer view...

I have used Kaisercraft papers and chipboard, and cut some die cuts out as well..

Life is better on the beach.

This is my Grand daughter at the beach, the papers fit the mood board colors so well.. Lots of fussy cutting of the leaves and it all worked well on a base of Kraft... I do hope you can join in with us this month.. You can check out what the Design Team have been up to over on the Kraft + Blog here   and also over on the Kraft + Facebook Community here!!  

Thankyou for coming by, do take care.  until next time....
