Kraft Plus Challenge - October

This challenge sent me looking through all of my old scrapping supplies to find some things that I just wasn't using any more. I found eyelets, an old Carl star punch, scraps of paper and even some leftover canvas letters. 

I wanted to create a page that represented the retro look of these items as well as still acknowledging my change in style since I first started scrap booking - my love of mixed media. I also wanted to add some of the Marvel Comic look that I felt that the mood board contained.

For some reason the colours did not photograph very well however the smaller photos show the brightness of the page in more detail. I hope you enjoy. 

September Kraft +Challenge

I thought that I would go for fresh bright colours that represent my ideas and thoughts of fresh melons and gelato ices. 

             

Dusty Attic - August Challenge: Delight

I love all things green, aqua and earthy colours so this was a challenge that got me inspired as soon as I saw the mood board. To ramp up the texture of the main pieces of chipboard, I used rust effect paste and aged it even further by adding a little bit of gold. 

August Kraft Challenge: Tassels - Live Life

This challenge was a fun one for me. The colours were bright and cheerful and I also got to think outside of the box when including a tassel. I liked the idea of making a tassel using one of my favourite mediums: gauze.

  

                                                              

July Kraft Challenge - 'On my own terms'

This is my first entry for a Kraft Challenge. I love using kraft paper is it was a wonderful opportunity to have a go at creating my interpretation of the challenge mood board.

I love mixed media so it was a chance to get out all of my pastes, paints and stencils.

  

                                   

Father Dear - mixed media

This is a wonderful photo of my dad before her passe away on mothers day in 2013. I still miss him everyday.
