Project Life | Week 7

I'm back with another week and as usual I have used Project 52 2016 Edition and Photoshop CS5 to create my digital layouts.  This week was another scorcher here in Perth- too hot to sit poolside for a swimming carnival that's for sure!

Here is Week 7.....

Kraft Plus | March Challenge

I am playing along again at Kraft Plus and once again the challenge is a ripper!

The challenge is to use this sketch and add some houndstooth, all on a Kraft base of course.

I pulled out an older collection from Basic Grey called "Knee-highs & Bow-ties" to scrap this layout that celebrates the wonderful imagination that my youngest son possesses.

I used my Silhouette Cameo, a cut-file from the Silhouette Online Store and some stencil material to create a houndstooth patterned stencil.  I applied  Gathered Twigs Distress Ink through the stencil with an ink blending tool to give my Kraft background some subtle tone-on-tone texture.

I just love how the Kraft Plus challenges always get me to try new things- now I know how easy it is to make my own stencils with my Silhouette :-)

Turtle Soup | January Mini Crop Projects

I realised that I haven't shared any layouts or cards for a while and since we recently had a Mini Crop at Turtle Soup I have a lot to share!

Our Design Team members set a number of challenges for the crop and here is what I came up with......

Project Life | Week 6

I'm back with another week to share.  I am using the Digital Project Life Project 52 2016 Edition this year and I am loving how the choices are limited thus making this process quick and easy.

Here is Week 6.....

Thanks for stopping by- I will be back soon with some scrapbooking layouts :-)

Project Life | Week 5

It was a week with few photos but instead of switching to a single page spread, I decided to add lots of journalling to complete the double page. I am continuing with the Project 52 2016 Edition from digitalprojectlife.com and the Design A template.

When I struggle to fill a Project Life page I often include what I've been watching and what I've been reading and this week I did just that.  The return of The X-Files was a big deal in our house ;-)

Thanks for stopping by!

Project Life | Week 4

I have another week to share, albeit a little late this week- it's nearly the end of Week 5!  Of course I have used the Project 52 Edition again and I am still loving this 100% digital approach I have adopted for this year.  It's just so simple.

Here is Week 4.....

Thanks for stopping by!

Kraft Plus | February Guest Designer

I am thrilled to be the Kraft Plus Guest Designer for February.  As usual, the challenge really pushed me out of my comfort zone, and that's what I love about challenges.

I created some postage stamp backgrounds with my Silhouette Cameo and utilized some old papers from Stampin' Up that had a postage stamp theme.  I aged everything with Distress Inks including the wood veneer letters from Studio Calico.

I hope you'll play along with the challenge!
