Sunshine and Kraft

*Click here for Sassy Scrappers Blog Hop & Giveaway*


I'm back again (I did warn that September is a busy one! lol)

Popping in to share my DT layout for Kraft it Up! this month. Loving the sketch challenge we have going this month. Would love to see you play along!

I've kept the circular shapes quite minimal, pulling out a few here and there.

The 'sunshine' card is a very cool Chictags cutting file.

This Greatest View anchor badge goes perfectly with the nautical and circular theme in the sketch.

Materials used: Paper: Glitz; Crate; Kraft card stock. Embellishments: Greatest View flair; Crate 'The Pier' stickers; Elle's Studio cutout; Kaisercraft wooden flourish; sequins; gesso; twine; Silhouette Cameo

If you fancy, you can share your layouts on the KIU Facebook page as well

Please remember to have your entries linked no later than 11.59pm September 30th. Looking forward to seeing your entries!

See you soon

At the Beach - KIU April challenge

Hi again!

I'm huddling indoors whilst a rather spectacular storm is making its way across our area... My kids laugh at me when I scream like a little girl with each thunder clap!

I have another layout to share with you, this time it's for Kraft it Up! This month's challenge is a corker... recycling! I had so much fun with mine!

For my 'kraft' I used a scrappy supply pizza box! Yep... I just cut a 12x12 section and jazzed it up with some of my fave Color Shine in Lamé and Georgia Peach! I've used a roughly torn piece of Tim Holtz  Core'dinations Kraft Core for the middle and adhered it with machine stitching.

Some gorgeous Kaisercraft and Amy Tangerine stamping adds a bit of lightheartedness along with a few beautiful papers from Glitz's Unchartered Waters collection.

It might sound far fetched, but I have yet to come across a CHA collection that my Greatest View flair do not match! Gail has seriously done her homework! I have used a couple little 'In Style' & 'Fresh Style' beauties here along with some more 'recycled' bits. When I first learned about this upcoming challenge, I started saving the backs of my packs of Studio Calico wood veneer. I've used the front and back of it. Spritzing the lighter woodgrain side with Color Shine and punching a few circles of it for the cluster.

Materials used: Pizza box! Tim Holtz Core'dinations Kraft Core; Glitz Unchartered Waters 6x6 pad; Studio Calico Wood Veneer & packaging; Basic Grey fabric tab; Jessica Sprague printable; Amy Tangerine 'Yes Please' clear stamp; Glitz 'Color me Happy' woodgrain washi; MME brad; Kaiser stamp; sewing machine; Greatest View flair

So grab those bits you are about to toss out and see if they can serve a higher purpose! lol. Entries close on April 30th and can be linked up here

I'll be back on Friday with some Sassy Goodness...

Till then!
