Stuck Sketches January 15 challenge

I am back with the second Stuck?!Sketches installment for January, the January 15 sketch.
Here is the sketch:

I loved this sketch when I first saw it. 

My husband, son and I went to a Keith Urban concert in December. I knew this sketch would be great for any photos we took of the concert, so I made sure we took lots of photos, lol. I must also say, how awesome Keith Urban is as an entertainer, and a genuinely nice bloke. It was a great night out. 

Anyway, I wanted this layout to be fairly clean and graphic. The photos are from a distance, so I didn't think there should be too much distraction from them. 

I have also kept the embellishing fairly simple, but did include a Charms Creations denim super star and terrific tab. I also added a tag, card and wood veneer from Flutterby designs. 

I hope we see you join us for the challenge.

Kraft plus December challenge

So it is Boxing Day today, and after a hectic week at work, then preparing for Christmas, I have given myself today to scrap. No cooking, no cleaning, no chores - it's fend for yourself day today.
So I have managed to sneak in a layout for the Challenge at Kraft Plus. Here is the challenge:

I loved the sound of this challenge, until it came to doing it, lol. So I guess I really was challenged. I decided to scrap about my cat, Tess. She will lay down in many places around our home, usually wherever I am. She follows me around whenever I am at home. Even today she was sitting with me when I was scrapping, but then she wanted to steal my chair - this can be a constant game. In the photos I have used she is laying in a suitcase, on the lounge, and sitting behind an old sewing machine. These are but a few of the spots she chooses. 

I created a background with crackle texture paste and Ken Oliver colour bursts, then stamped over this. I added some cotton thread, and my photos, title, journaling and embellishing. I have embellished minimally, it doesn't need too much, in my opinion anyway. I used a Charms Creations heavenly heart with cat, and a flair and journal tag from Flutterby designs. 

Thanks for looking at my layout, and for any comments you may leave.
