123 Challenge for MAY

Hi all,

Its the end of the month.... crazy busy month for me. But did get to the 123 Challenge. Glad this challenge blog is sticking around, that's for sure!
This month's challenge:

COLOUR: GREEN

WORD: TIME

TECHNIQUE: JOURNALING

 

 

Here's my page:

 

Anyone that knows me, will know that it is pretty confronting for me to share this journaling. But I am brave enough to share it. I am not perfect! And it is time to be open and share it!

 

Thanks for the challenge. I really love this page it has pushed me to create. It is a page that means a lot to me.

 

Thanks for looking.

Kraft it Up - APRIL

Sharing my page for the challenge at Kraft it Up this month.

This month's criteria:

BITS and PIECES - 

This month your challenge is to create a layout using Kraft and at least 5 of the following six items...Layers, Sequins, Mists/Paints/Gelato's, Tearing or Disressing, Stamping, Arrows or Triangles

And here's my page:

I used gesso on the background- and used my triangles roller stamp while it was still drying. Stamped arrow stamp with Heidi swap colour shine mist. Distressed photo and paper edges. Triangle embellishments, washi and sequins, so I think I have covered all the criteria!

Thanks for looking!

Inspired by these colours!

I really loved the colours in the Scrapbook Creations Inspiration Board this month.....


I created this layout,  mostly inspired by the colours. I loosely followed the sketch, but found I had to move around some of the elements because of the text-background patterned paper I chose to use. I moved things around a lot before I was happy! lol!

PS> more distress stains and gelatos on the background.... I am a little hooked!


As a big supporter and fan of APOCD, I was excited to see them as sponsor this month for this challenge!

Thanks for looking!

Here is my page for the SKETCH challenge at Scrapbooking from Scratch.

Based on this sketch:


Here's my page.

Started with a MME kraft paper, and added some mists and circles (from the mist lid) and random black stamping. You can't really see my black doodled border because of the photo.
Some scraps of paper from my paper stash.
Embellishments: enamel dots and stickers, twine, and a gorgeous RAINBOW SPLENDOUR bow.

Thanks for looking, a fun sketch!
