Show Us Your Stuff July challenge

So in July at Show Us Your Stuff, we have an interesting nature themed moodboard to inspire:

The possibilities are endless, for this challenge. I have loads of photos that could have worked for this challenge, as I love the outdoors, especially the Australian bush. Anyway, I decided to scrap a photo of my children and friends children, in amongst some of Western Australian everlasting daisies. 

I created a background using texture paste and stencil, Ken Oliver colour blasts and water spray in yellow, and added a bit of brown. I allowed the yellow to run down the page, kind of looks like stems on flowers, lol. I then did some stamping for a bit more interest in the background. I had so much fun creating this background, as I haven't done a lot of mixed media of late. 

I used a variety of different papers for a photo mat, and embellished with some little flowers and Charms Creations banner and terrific tab. I also have added a Studio 1440 flair. I love the brightness to this layout, and is very indicative of what it was like in amongst the flowers.

White With 1 February Creative Team layout

Hi everyone, I am back with my creative team share for February for White With 1. I think you are going to like this colour:

The challenge is also teamed with this sketch:

So what do you think you could do with this combination?

I chose a photo of my kids, from just a few years ago, 1999, lol. I loved how the denim in their photo matched the colour for this month. 

I created my background using some plasterers tape, and coloured texture paste, which I spread through the tape. I added lots of sttamping and washi tape. You can see an interpretation of the sketch in my layout, somewhat, lol. 

I added a Charms Creations denim heavenly heart, a perfect addition to the layout.

I hope we get to see your creation for this challenge. 

Kraft + January 2017 challenge

Wow, it's Australia Day, nearly the end of January. Time is flying by already. I had to take some time to stop and do this challenge from Kraft +, and this one is very appealing:

I found this photo of my kids from way back, in 1994 and I love it, they were close then, they still are. Kieran had to be strapped onto the tricycle to be able to stay on. 

Anyway, I created the background, with stamping and stenciling. I had this pinwheel stencil in my stash, which reminded me a little of the spokes on a bike. As the photo is a bit older, I decided to give the layout a little vintage touch as well, with some doilies. 

I added a wood veneer bike, and also a bike flair from Funky Flairs Studio. To top it all off, a Charms Creations heavenly heart finished it off. 

I really enjoyed creating this layout and playing along with this challenge.

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