Hi again :) It's been a busy month and I am very late in sharing my layout for this month's <a href="http://kraftpluschallenges.blogspot.com/">Kraft Plus Challenges blog</a> and sadly this will be my final contribution as a member of the Kraft Plus team. I have loved playing along with all of the fun challenges and sharing my creations alongside this fantastic and encouraging team for the past few years but a shift in circumstances has forced me to scale down my commitments in the new year. </div>

Moving along, the theme for December is 'Needles and Pins' and I have used several sewing elements on my page. </div>

I mounted my photo onto some perforated paper that is designed for hand stitching. I had grand plans to add a cross stitched deign to the perforated paper but decided it would be too busy and in the end added a subtle watercolor border with a tissue paper layer instead. </div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I added a hand stitched border directly onto the photo and stitched on a few plus sign accents around my embellishment clusters before tucking a couple of strands of embroidery thread behind the leaves to give my layers more depth. </div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I decided to go with a layout to celebrate the special bond between my little guy and his furry friend, Patch <span style="background-color: white; color: #545454; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small; text-align: left;">❤</span> They are inseparable and it always warms my heart to see them together. </div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I wanted the page to have a happy vibe and found a random mix of bright items from my stash that I contrasted with black to help the colours pop. </div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I added a painted background and a fun pom pom frame to highlight the photo.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
Hi again :) September is here and with it brings a brand new theme from the <a href="http://kraftpluschallenges.blogspot.com/">Kraft Plus Challenges</a> blog and this month's theme is office supplies!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<img height="400" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-TFJrgPmxRbY/W4kiJVkmGWI/AAAAAAAAHAY/4OcLPZFrGDUVydJ-jTr0Q2cQdFkijwvTQCLcBGAs/s400/september%2Bstationary%2B.jpg" width="325" /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Office supplies work really well with your layouts and I'm sure that if you take a look around your house you will find more usable items than you might have thought you had,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-B5mLHeKGZCk/W4o-fXHqo0I/AAAAAAAAOqw/V74lbq1XE5gP-C25XYe7a_iT7LdIkeFdwCLcBGAs/s1600/septemeber.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1600" height="640" src="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-B5mLHeKGZCk/W4o-fXHqo0I/AAAAAAAAOqw/V74lbq1XE5gP-C25XYe7a_iT7LdIkeFdwCLcBGAs/s640/septemeber.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I had so many ideas for this theme and actually had to pair it back to avoid overwhelming my page and in the end I decided to go with a neon pink theme using just a few simple items. <span style="text-align: left;"> </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-RHQH9xfE7Tg/W4o-8wau95I/AAAAAAAAOq8/mtORapox2T0cohW6m1413Qu9qvjhlHUMQCLcBGAs/s1600/IMG20180831154940%2B%25282%2529.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1600" height="640" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-RHQH9xfE7Tg/W4o-8wau95I/AAAAAAAAOq8/mtORapox2T0cohW6m1413Qu9qvjhlHUMQCLcBGAs/s640/IMG20180831154940%2B%25282%2529.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
My page design started with the neon pink envelope, and I used a pink highlighter and fine line sharpie to draw a heart pattern onto some grid paper that I pulled out from one of my notebooks. I used my heart patterned paper to line the inside of the envelope to back my photo. I tucked a couple of large tags behind the envelope to create some depth and used a large paper clip to hold the black and white journal card in place. </div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I used a hole punch to make some confetti from another envelope and more gird paper and used my laminator to create a fun transparency to use on my page.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Hello July, and hello to another fun theme from the <a href="http://kraftpluschallenges.blogspot.com/">Kraft Plus Challenges blog</a>! </div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<img height="400" src="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-soDfuO3fnz0/WzdNnKnhLyI/AAAAAAAAG6c/I7h7KiXojowaOsXkO8kZkF26QMHpi4l1ACLcBGAs/s400/July%2Bweaving%2B.jpg" width="325" /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The challenge is to incorporate some weaving onto your project and can include paper, yarn, fibers or any other material you can think of.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I went with some woven paper strips and deliberately left some gaps between the strips to form a loose weave to use as a photo mat. Once my piece was woven together, I trimmed the strips into uneven lengths and like the texture they add to the page.</div>

I should confess that I have never really been a great stamper, but after playing with Kellie's fantastic designs I have to say that I am feeling very proud of how well my pages turned out this month and can definitely see myself using plenty more stamps in future projects. </div>

As always, you have until the end of the month to share your creations but this month brings along some changes to the structure of <a href="http://kraftpluschallenges.blogspot.com/">Kraft+</a> and we hope you will embrace the feeling of community instead rather than competition these changes will bring. </div>

Hi again :) I have a new layout to share for May challenge over at the <a href="http://kraftpluschallenges.blogspot.com.au/">Kraft Plus Challenges blog</a>.<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<img height="400" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-K3uCyZUbuj4/WuPflO8Og0I/AAAAAAAAGwY/bxmDXunlsCk_In9Objouo0L4HVTUCdoewCLcBGAs/s400/21764820_10210423041275950_6938146974114736310_n.jpg" width="325" /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The criteria is to use a kraft base with a date included on your project - here's what I came up with...</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-L3f72iV5Ds4/WufKzvOuroI/AAAAAAAAJQ4/TaiLYFb8VV4Iee7BFb3zBWB-2y-OetFXQCLcBGAs/s1600/may.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1600" height="640" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-L3f72iV5Ds4/WufKzvOuroI/AAAAAAAAJQ4/TaiLYFb8VV4Iee7BFb3zBWB-2y-OetFXQCLcBGAs/s640/may.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I knew that I wanted to inclued a repeated date on my layout and was orginally going to attempt this with a roller date stamp but my stamping skills are not that great so I decided to print out the date onto a patterned paper background instead, and like the way it works with the bold stripes. </div>

Hello March, and hello to a brand new challenge from the <a href="http://kraftpluschallenges.blogspot.com.au/">Kraft Plus Challenges blog</a>! The criteria is simple... use the sketch along with fussy cutting on a kraft background.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-5eHH8TPWwA8/Wpc2pbUpEwI/AAAAAAAAJGI/oYUNulGt6PkfBGci_b-dtYFECQvyGD9JQCLcBGAs/s1600/March%2Bsketch%2Band%2Bfussy%2B.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="952" data-original-width="775" height="320" src="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-5eHH8TPWwA8/Wpc2pbUpEwI/AAAAAAAAJGI/oYUNulGt6PkfBGci_b-dtYFECQvyGD9JQCLcBGAs/s320/March%2Bsketch%2Band%2Bfussy%2B.jpg" width="260" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I aways look forward to sketch challenges because they give you a good sense of direction and tried to keep my layout close to the original design, making just a few changes to better suit my landscape photo.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I went with a tone on tone kraft background with some stenciled spots for the contrasting top portion and paired this with a jade and navy colour scheme with a few pops of gold and yellow to help liven things up :) </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
My fussy cut elements were these delicate foliage sprigs which I cut from a sheet of Maggie Holmes patterned paper and I used a Uniquely Creative cutting die for the white scribble circles.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I used the foliage to lead the eye to the key focal points on the page and also repeated the die cut circle elements to help balance out the page. </div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Hello again :) I am making an effort to share more of my creative projects on my blog this year and have been putting my one little word {create} intentions into practice with a bit of art jounral play.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-s9-7shq2TVA/WnReEuDncuI/AAAAAAAAJCk/ra2iiyY6mEYudFmxahmYeE5fTQvIdNzvQCLcBGAs/s1600/agnuskbear.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1200" data-original-width="1200" height="640" src="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-s9-7shq2TVA/WnReEuDncuI/AAAAAAAAJCk/ra2iiyY6mEYudFmxahmYeE5fTQvIdNzvQCLcBGAs/s640/agnuskbear.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
My original plan was to use this bear cutting die on a scrapbook layout, but as much as I liked the concept of using a cool geometric bear on my layout I felt a bit stumped with which photos to use it with, but as with many things the more I looked at it the more potential it seemed to have and some ideas started to form about using it for a page in my art journal. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-_XsqoSaewvI/WnfFm2cYMHI/AAAAAAAAJFA/vgmDt80GCs4rRBET-aZIBdgsASETcLiDQCLcBGAs/s1600/floral%2B%25282%2529.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1200" data-original-width="1200" height="640" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-_XsqoSaewvI/WnfFm2cYMHI/AAAAAAAAJFA/vgmDt80GCs4rRBET-aZIBdgsASETcLiDQCLcBGAs/s640/floral%2B%25282%2529.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I started with a floral background which I lightly covered with gesso using a regular silicone kitchen spatula. I die cut the bear from black cardstock and worked out his placement before applying a few layers of matte acrylic paint in random swipes using the same spatula. I always reach for matte paint for my art journals because it is a lot easier to work over the top and intentionally left a few areas free of paint so that the floral background would still peep through but no longer look so busy.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-p0CKdWsIdE4/WnfEjFqBqbI/AAAAAAAAJEo/zZjWagWZfFom_HuZX_9CWbYU_Wo8V78AACLcBGAs/s1600/IMG20180205100640%2B%25282%2529.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1199" data-original-width="1200" height="638" src="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-p0CKdWsIdE4/WnfEjFqBqbI/AAAAAAAAJEo/zZjWagWZfFom_HuZX_9CWbYU_Wo8V78AACLcBGAs/s640/IMG20180205100640%2B%25282%2529.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I added some stamping to the background with an old Kaisercraft texture stamp from my stash. I attached the bear and used a fine point sharpie marker to add the phrase beneath him and applied a sprinkle of metallic gold rub-ons over the stamped areas.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I found a few Crate Paper die cut floral accents in my stash to create a floral crown and used a felt tip pen to outline all of the leaves to help them match the black lines of the bear.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I selected a larger die cut flower for the bottom of the page but because it had more of a red tone, I used the more of the pink acrylic paint to alter the colour and applied a little bit of tacky glue to accent the flower with a gold foil sheet which I simply placed over the glue and peeled away the excess once it dried. The remainder of the flowers were cut from my original floral background.</div>

Hello again :) I took the plunge and signed up for Ali Edwards' <a href="https://aliedwards.com/one-little-word">One Little Word</a> workshop in January and am loving the project so far. </div>

I chose the word CREATE because it felt like a perfect for my life right now and am excited to invite this word into my life and see how the year evolves. </div>

I am using a 6x8" album for this project and decided to keep things simple with a mainly black & white theme - using a Pretty Little Studio text paper for my cover page with a Heidi Swapp cutting die for the title.</div>

Hello again, I'm a little late in starting our project life album this year and I think it's because the thought of creating the cover page always makes me feel a bit overwhelmed - I seem to put extra pressure on myself for the cover page because it will set the tone for the whole year and often feel a little anxious about getting it wrong ;) but I have done it... and am happy with how it has turned out!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I had several ideas of how I wanted to create the cover this year, but the main one that was speaking to me was to use the 'life documented' phrase which I have been using for many of my <a href="https://www.instagram.com/agnus.k/">Instagram</a> posts and with this in mind I thought about what life documented actually meant to me and decided that it was the stories... our story!</div>

It's amazing how things seem to fall into place when you start with a plan and once my theme was set I decided to create a typed background. I used MS Word to type out 'our story 2018' using my favourite <a href="https://www.dafont.com/bohemian-typewriter.font">Bohemian typewriter font</a> and played around with my printer until I got the placement just right for six 6x4" cards. I printed the text onto plain copy paper and used washi tape to hold my cards in position before feeding the page back through the printer.<br />
<br /></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I looked for accents that would help to reinforce my theme and what could be better than a cute Simple Stories typewriter image :) The chipboard frames and documented title are also some Simple Stories faves from my stash.</div>

I used black and white to tie everything together (the circle stickers are from Kaisercraft) and repeated little pops of teal, yellow and pink with a mix of products from a range of different manufacturers.</div>

Hi :) A new challenge went live over on the <a href="http://kraftpluschallenges.blogspot.com.au/">Kraft Plus</a> challenges blog a couple of days ago. The theme is Abba inspired but don't worry if you are not a fan of their music, the challenge graphic has plenty of inspiration. </div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-F-B85z5Sbiw/WnRhPjMcCDI/AAAAAAAAJDI/eJ9rnyGA86wKSRy3wabMiwG1raKYV6rtQCEwYBhgL/s1600/Feb%2BAbba%2B.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="952" data-original-width="775" height="400" src="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-F-B85z5Sbiw/WnRhPjMcCDI/AAAAAAAAJDI/eJ9rnyGA86wKSRy3wabMiwG1raKYV6rtQCEwYBhgL/s400/Feb%2BAbba%2B.jpg" width="325" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I took my inspiration straight from the graphic of the band members and attempted to recreate the same feel with a photo of my boys printed onto a kraft background. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-fZKhT6UuRkA/WnRhQj6-kBI/AAAAAAAAJDM/jlelQnA-Ewky5jEAmCfa9-mAfr6Or5FbwCLcBGAs/s1600/feb2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1200" data-original-width="1200" height="640" src="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-fZKhT6UuRkA/WnRhQj6-kBI/AAAAAAAAJDM/jlelQnA-Ewky5jEAmCfa9-mAfr6Or5FbwCLcBGAs/s640/feb2.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
To get this effect, I searched through my photo gallery until I found some photos of my boys facing in different directions then used a photo editing program to arrange the pics together. I converted the photos to black and white then simply played with the contrast to get the desired effect. I used some of the colours from the graphic, focusing on the orange and yellow tones when adding my layers.</div>

I created a layout based on my morning cuppa (which is actually tea) and was inspired by the challenge image to create some faux coffee stains with watercolour paint. I applied the paint onto the rim of a bowl and mug then stamped them onto my background adding a few paint drips around both circles. </div>

Hello :) I'm feeling very happy to be up to date with all the projects I have created this year and am finishing off the year with my December daily projects using Pinkfresh Studio's <a href="https://www.sassyscrapper.com.au/index.php?route=product/category&path=256_1166_1314">December Days</a> collection from the <a href="https://www.sassyscrapper.com.au/">Sassy Scrappers</a> store. </div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
December has always been my favourite time of year but it's also a very busy time so I started with a bit of page prep in November, ready to fill with photos and stories once December rolled in and created some simple layered cards to add to my regular project life album. You'll find all of the cards I created over on <a href="http://sassyscrappers1.blogspot.com.au/2017/11/pocket-pages-with-agnus-pinkfresh.html">this post</a>. </div>

<br />
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="text-align: center;">Although I was a little bit uncertain on how these non traditional colours would work with my photos, this unusual Christmas palette really complimented my pics and helped to tie the month together very well. </span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
I also added a 6x12" insert to hold more photos and festive ephemera. </div>

Filling up my album with more December memories, I switched things up with a different pocket configuration to accommodate some vertical photos. You can read all about it <a href="http://sassyscrappers1.blogspot.com.au/2017/12/hi-again-christmas-is-almost-here-and-i.html">here</a>. </div>

Of course December wouldn't be complete without a pretty tree photo :) </div>

Hi again :) I'm going strong with my blog catch up and have my July pages to share created with Elle's Studio <a href="https://www.sassyscrapper.com.au/index.php?route=product/category&path=256_745_1310">Family Fun</a> collection from the <a href="https://www.sassyscrapper.com.au/">Sassy Scrappers</a> store. </div>

<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
I loved the bright happy colours in this collection and had fun combinging the various patterns across my pages. </div>
<img src="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-Q6kjdNdR8lA/WeQQ8NYWK9I/AAAAAAAAI4Y/xzBreGGKciwLRqBdyo3VuXitM6B0swTAwCLcBGAs/s640/SAM_8673%2B%25282%2529.JPG" /><br />

<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
I focused on COLOUR, DESIGN & DETAIL for the second part of the month and how they each play a role in the way I put my pages together. You can read all about it <a href="http://sassyscrappers1.blogspot.com.au/2017/10/pocket-pages-with-agnus-elles-studio_30.html">here</a>. </div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
And because I didn't want any of this awesome collection to go to waste, I teamed up my remaining pieces with a fun <a href="https://www.silhouettedesignstore.com/view-shape/65661">hearts background</a> cut file to create a quick and easy <a href="http://sassyscrappers1.blogspot.com.au/2017/11/elles-studio-family-fun-agnus-kasprzak.html">layout</a>. </div>

Hi again :) I'm back with another project life catch up post with one of my absolute favourite months documented thanks to the amazing <a href="https://www.sassyscrapper.com.au/index.php?route=product/category&path=256_1166_1307">'Escape The Ordinary'</a> collection from Pinkfresh Studio.<br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
I shared all the details over on <a href="http://sassyscrappers1.blogspot.com.au/2017/09/pocket-pages-with-agnus-pinkfresh.html">this post</a>, and this was definitely one of those months where everything seemed to fall into place. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

And the main reason why it all worked so well can been seen in my title card... this collection not only has great papers but it also has a fabulous mix of embellishments!! </div>

I used quite a bit of chipboard frames through out these pages and really liked the way they helped to draw attention to both the photos and stories. </div>

I repeated the same patterns for the second part of the month and was very pleased that even though this was a Disney themed collection it still worked well with all of our regular everyday photos.<br />

I also created an <a href="https://sassyscrappers1.blogspot.com.au/2017/07/pocket-pages-with-agnus-easter-insert.html">Easter insert</a> with the same collection and was very happy how well this range worked with the photos even though it isn't Easter themed. </div>

Hello again :) the end of the year is almost here but before we get swamped with all the various Christmas activities it's nice to take a bit of time to enjoy some crafting and what better way to get inspired than with another awesome challenge from the <a href="http://kraftpluschallenges.blogspot.com.au/">Kraft+ Challenges blog</a>!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

This month's challenge has so many great elements that can be used as a starting point for your projects, and as you will see I took inspiration from several of them.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-5Jvy9HpUd7w/WiCn4CPAJiI/AAAAAAAAI8M/3c-05BWuegotrAuIHHv2w4gDCn9Ig4upQCLcBGAs/s1600/deco01.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1200" data-original-width="1200" height="640" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-5Jvy9HpUd7w/WiCn4CPAJiI/AAAAAAAAI8M/3c-05BWuegotrAuIHHv2w4gDCn9Ig4upQCLcBGAs/s640/deco01.jpg" width="640" /></a><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
When I first saw the image, I was instantly drawn to the colours and eclectic mix of patterns and wanted to recreate something similar on my layout. I deliberately chose patterns that might normally clash but used each pattern sparingly so that they wouldn't compete with each other.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-XMMeN0Demss/WiCn4XNAOaI/AAAAAAAAI8Q/fUf0kE6yaHoN2hhhumL1jucj-WFoI_XEACLcBGAs/s1600/dec03.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1200" data-original-width="1200" height="640" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-XMMeN0Demss/WiCn4XNAOaI/AAAAAAAAI8Q/fUf0kE6yaHoN2hhhumL1jucj-WFoI_XEACLcBGAs/s640/dec03.jpg" width="640" /></a><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I love the look of the plates on the wall and layered several patterned circles across the page to represent the plates. The frames on the far wall in the image also spoke to me and so I used a mix of chipboard frames in varying sizes and used wrapped a little bit of thread around the frame edges to represent the woven rug.</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-maMVFwm_QF4/WiCn3wy-v-I/AAAAAAAAI8I/x-YSwpQNswwp2Zd1HZa8W6_Ubi4Dgx2wwCLcBGAs/s1600/dec02.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1199" data-original-width="1200" height="638" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-maMVFwm_QF4/WiCn3wy-v-I/AAAAAAAAI8I/x-YSwpQNswwp2Zd1HZa8W6_Ubi4Dgx2wwCLcBGAs/s640/dec02.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>

I decided to use a BIG feather for this layout of my son with a cute friend he made when we were out for a walk at our local river. </div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-7VglZ8yC7j4/Wfm86nY5c2I/AAAAAAAAI6E/Gg4R4GRl2TwKfThPhjzHCzdCGOce8QOiwCLcBGAs/s1600/SAM_8902%2B%25282%2529.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1200" data-original-width="1200" height="640" src="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-7VglZ8yC7j4/Wfm86nY5c2I/AAAAAAAAI6E/Gg4R4GRl2TwKfThPhjzHCzdCGOce8QOiwCLcBGAs/s640/SAM_8902%2B%25282%2529.JPG" width="640" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I used this <a href="https://www.silhouettedesignstore.com/view-shape/19536" style="text-align: left;">feather cut file</a> to create my BIG element and backed it with a mix of colourful papers and kept the remainder of the page clean and simple with just a few layers behind the photo and a couple of small embellishment clusters and title framing the photo. </div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

I found an awesome Scrap FX tree transparency in my stash which I used as the focal point in my background along with a Heidi Swapp gold foiled acetate word for my title.</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

I placed the tree transparency over my photo mat, then framed my photo with a Project Life overlay frame and really liked the way the layers gave the page a sense of depth. </div>

I used the black and yellow colour colour scheme from the challenge image as my starting point and really love the way these colours work against the kraft background. </div>

I cut out some hexagon shapes to use with my embellishment clusters and removed the centers from a few of of them for a bit of variety, then used a mix of black, yellow and kraft coloured embellies to help reinforce the theme. </div>

Hi again :) it's the start of a new month and that means another it's time for another new challenge from the <a href="http://kraftpluschallenges.blogspot.com.au/2017/07/august-challenge-leaves-and-branches.html">Kraft Plus challenges blog</a>! This month's theme is all about leaves and branches and being inspired by trees. </div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<img alt="Image may contain: text" height="400" src="https://scontent.fsyd3-1.fna.fbcdn.net/v/t1.0-9/19511063_10209772944623940_3989510341430196993_n.jpg?oh=d50aae252ce1413b95b2c7b090ed6420&oe=59F42228" width="325" /><br />
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Here's what I created, inspired by my little guy's love of climbing trees.<br />
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
This layout was a little different for me in that there is no patterned paper and instead I created a painted background with a diy branch cut from an old box and lots of multi coloured watercolour leaves. </div>

<br />
I used my lovely new Jane Davenport Mermaid Markers to add colour to some die cut leaves and used these to frame the photo of Cayden chilling in the tree.<br />

I went with a rose transparency, resin roses and rose die cuts in chipboard, cardstock and a sticker for this layout of our little Patch. </div>

<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Because I don't normally use a lot of florals on my layouts, this challenge was a little intimidating at first glance. I went through my stash and pulled out all of my rose patterned papers however they were either too pretty or a little too vintage for my scrapping style and it wasn't until I came across the rose transparency from my project life cards that I thought that this actually might work! Working around just one item in a style that you love really helps to pull all the other items together.</div>

<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
This month's challenge is all about colour... but only one colour combined with Kraft!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
You can of course add some black, white or neutrals to the mix.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-nSBbPR-AWPs/WTEf-XfuJbI/AAAAAAAAImc/iYU3NvJ5ByojUGz5I9NjkUGMG7l__cA-gCLcB/s1600/SAM_5590%2B%25282%2529.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1600" height="640" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-nSBbPR-AWPs/WTEf-XfuJbI/AAAAAAAAImc/iYU3NvJ5ByojUGz5I9NjkUGMG7l__cA-gCLcB/s640/SAM_5590%2B%25282%2529.JPG" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
As you can see, my colour choice was turquoise! It is one of my most used colours in my designs however I usually like to team it up with other colours and was a little bit intimidated by this month's theme ;)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-6aSF8Zi0d5k/WTEgKtfSgII/AAAAAAAAImk/_5jj0CM0tKoDX2GpM_n8YM81rLMZDv_2ACLcB/s1600/SAM_5603%2B%25282%2529.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1600" height="638" src="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-6aSF8Zi0d5k/WTEgKtfSgII/AAAAAAAAImk/_5jj0CM0tKoDX2GpM_n8YM81rLMZDv_2ACLcB/s640/SAM_5603%2B%25282%2529.JPG" width="640" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I chose a few different shades of turquoise and tried to vary the textures and added some painted surfaces and spray mist droplets, puffy stickers and enamel accents to the turquoise cardstock. Being able to add neutrals definitely helped to pull things together and I really like the contrast they provided against the Kraft and turquoise elements. </div>
