July Kraft Plus challenge

Looking for a little something to get your teeth in to this weekend? Look no further than the mustard awesomeness that is the July kraftboard over at Kraft Plus Challenges. Surely it will set your disposition to 'sunny' ;)

This is my DT layout for the month. It's a digital page (been way too long!) using lots of yummies, including the gorgeous Cosmo Bloom element pack from The Nifty Pixel.

Credits: The Nifty Pixel 'Cosmo Bloom' element pack; CK 'Hello Love' papers, pocket tags & splatters; Sahlin Studio 'Worth a thousand words'; Pink Reptile Designs 'Torn Treasures'; Just Jaimee 'Storyteller Dec' paint, tag & Cerulean cork; Quirky Heart tape; Amy Martin Designs 'Blanc Stitches'; Valerie Wibbens Journal pack strips.


Remember, you can enter pretty much whatever your heart desires, as long as it's on a kraft! Here's the board for July. I was particularly inspired by the stencilled wording on the large wooden disc/wheel thingamajig.

I hope you will play along with us!

Here comes the bride - Simple Stories digital

Did you know you can now purchase lots of your favourite Simple Stories collections in digital format? New lines are being added all the time and are great value, like Story of Us, which I've used in this digi page.

We believe in Daydreams - JBS Digital

Another rendezvous with some digital delights... Jenni Bowlin Studio 'Haven' Collection specifically with a few tidbits thrown in for good measure.

This photo was taken of my DS years ago when we still lived in England. He hardly ever got to see the sea and he absolutely loved crawling around in the sand that day. Looking out to the water, I wonder what he was daydreaming about.

Blog hop inspiration

At times it feels like my kiddos are in a love/hate relationship! This layout captures one of those 'aww' moments when they were getting along and sharing a joke, upside down!

The Lilypad is having an awesome blog hop to celebrate International Digital Scrapbooking Day. It's packed with amazing giveaways from the designers. So inspiring, that I created this layout straight away. If you are creating with digital elements, you need to hop along!

D is for Determined - Colour Challenge

Couldn't go past the gorgeous brights in this month's colour challenge for Mei Li. I'm not actually sure if digital is allowed, but hey ho!

Capturing my son's first little steps. Look at that face... so determined to get where he wants to go!

Happy Life - Jenni Bowlin Studio

Hello hello!

I've often been asked why I haven't dabbled in digital scrapping more. I guess, being so close to what I did for a living, it felt a bit less like a hobby. As you know, I am a hybrid team member over at Jenni Bowlin Studio, but I felt so inspired to try a fully digital layout that I couldn't resist!!

If you are thinking about giving it a go, now is the perfect time with the Homespun and County Fair kits on sale today in the digital shoppe! If you pop over to the Jenni Bowlin Studio blog, I have a few tips for you on how to create some effects and your own embellishments!

Thanks so much for visiting!
