I have been meaning for some time to have a go at the monthly challenge at the Kraft It Up! blog, and this month, I managed to get it done.
This month's challenge is to create a layout on Kraft cardstock using a 'time line', at least 3 photos and journalling to explain the time line. Here is my entry....
And here are some photos showing some of the embellishment details on the layout...

Scrap The Girls - June
Being sick and off work this week with a rotten winter virus, I had a bit more time on my hands to do some scrapping (in between sneezing, coughing and nose-blowing that is!), so I decided to have a go at this month's Scrap The Girls Challenge.
The challenge this month was to create a layout using this colour palette....
As soon as I saw those colours, I thought of Basic Grey's Bittersweet range from a few years back.
You know when a paper range really takes your eye, you buy it, and then because you love it so much, you always put off using it because you're 'saving' it for some extra-special project? Ridiculous right?
Anyway, that was me with BG's Bittersweet, and because I recently decided to stop hoarding beautiful things I love, and just get in there and use them, that's what I did with this layout.
Here is a close-up of the embellishments I used, and my doodling around the edge of the white cardstock...

A2Z Scraplets Blog Hop
I have spent the last weekend (and then some) working on an entry for the A2Z Scraplets Blog Hop Challenge.
I used one of my favourite photos from the photoshoot Elise and I had with Leanne Stamatellos in January last year and here is my interpretation of the sketch...
The challenge entries were to be based on the following sketch...
Here are some close-ups of the detail....
I used an A2Z Scraplets chipboard 'leftover' as a mask for the Glimmermist butterflies in the background of the layout and covered one of the butterflies with vintage sheet music and crackle-finished and distress-inked the chipboard as well...
I can't wait to see what everyone else comes up with for this challenge.
