Kraft it Up August Challenge...







is a colour challenge using black, green and yellow. This is a great combination for reptiles but a little daunting when you want to use wedding photos. However undeterred we soldiered on. i love film strips to use more photos on a page and this was really appropriate for Christie and Robert's nuptial photographs. It is a long time since I used mulberry paper too, but he presto some yellow was in my stock. I love anything Kaiser so the flowers and the wood vines were appropriate in this lo. Kraft c/s is so great to use as a base as it does not interfere with the overall lo's tone, just adds to it, no matter what colour etc.

A Win!


What a boost to my scrapping confidence, I won the sketch challenge for May/June at http://www.scrapbookingpremiere.com.au/ I am basically a solo scrapper due to all my hectic schedule so to get a mention like this just gives the best boost and builds confidence no end!

July/Aug Premiere


This challenge from http://www.scrapbookingpremiere.com.au/ is all about bold and bright colours and different lettering, not to mention stitching and hand altered paper doilies. We also had to make our own background paper. I went a little bit wild with paints and just squiggled paint all over the page. The only disadvantage to this is that it took ages to dry and some of it gets covered by what you are doing on the page. Anyhoo this is what mine looks like!
