Hello Everyone!

Do you love Kraft?

Are you short on time or daunted by the though of creating something big, 

but still feel like scraping, 

then why not create a Card or a Tag. 

Just remember its all about the KRAFT!

The  fabulous Kraft Plus Challenge for November is all about

Mosaic

"on the tiles"

This is my Design Team Reveal.

I made a simple card.

I printed the mosaic pattern onto Kraft paper, inked the edges and matted it onto another Kraft piece.

Added a Happy Birthday message to my Dad. and tied some twine  for a finishing touch.

We welcome all kinds of  Kraft entries  for our challenge, from a traditional layout, cards, tags, art journals etc., just please remember that it is all about the Kraft.

You can share your K+ creations with us either in our Facebook Kraft+ Community Group

KraftPlus have a fun weekend Mini Challenge

Hello Everyone!

 A mini Challenge on the

 Kraft+ Community Facebook page.

Kraft+ Community

Hi Krafters!!

 I so hope you have some time to craft this weekend as we have a very cool mini challenge for you!! 

So, the challenge is to find an embellishment that you are itching to use and use it as inspiration for your page/card/etc.

 It could be something you've had for ages or a new acquisition.

 It could be a flair button, ephemera, sticker, PL card, die cut, ribbon, washi tape, pretty much anything! We encourage you to take a photo of the item and share it as a comment to this Facebook  post. Then share your finished project on this page by the end of the weekend!

 Please tag #kraftplusminichallenge to your post (and if you are sharing on any other platforms).

 And you can even combine challenges and do a 'Friends' themed project. 

It's up to you. But just remember, it must be on Kraft paper! 

Please share this post to spread the word. 

We can't wait to see what you come up with … Happy Krafting!

This is the embellishment I found in my stash which has been there for along time. 

Its a black resin doily from The Resin Rainbow.

#kraftplusminichallenge …this is what I made..... a simple card.

 I randomly stamped a pattern onto a piece of Kraft paper, cut that into rectangles and stuck each piece onto a piece of black paper then stuck that to a Kraft based card. 

Added my EMBELLISHMENT (doily),

 added some thread and flowers..… 

simple, easy and fun! .

Thanks for the great challenge Kraft+ Community

Thanks for stopping by.

My October Design Team Creation for More Than Words Challenges

Hello Everyone!

More Than Words Challenges

"Sometimes fun comes in Splatters!"

Are you ready for a very fun and messy October Main Challenge?!

{Her Favourite Shoes}

This month's gorgeous graphic and the word LEISURE inspired me to create a layout using this photo of my daughter's favorite pair of sneakers that she had as a teen. A popular brand and worn by many of her peers, she really wanted a pair. It took her a while to save enough money to buy them, and once she did, she loved them and wore them at every opportunity. Many a sport activity and time of leisure did she have in these shoes! For the creative challenge, I used a CWS stencil and pink ink and white watered down gesso flicked from 

my paintbrush to create some SPLATS.

Our Main Challenge is based on a word inspiration and a creative challenge.

Word Inspiration - LEISURE

Creative Challenge - SPLATS

What does the word LEISURE inspire you to create?

You can choose to use the actual word somewhere on your project 

or simply be inspired by it.  Since words are an integral part of our challenges, we want to know how this month's word stimulated your creative process, so please do explain in your blog post how 
it inspired you if it isn't obvious in your work.

This month, our challenge concept is all about having fun! Remember when you were a child and you loved to play with paint and create splatters? Well, we at More Than Words still love to do this! Our creative challenge for you is to take your paints, inks, stains, etc and add SPLATS to your project.

This was such a fun challenge to play along with. 

More stash busting...making old new again.

This months gorgeous challenge...

 Lots of close ups showing the details.

My September Design Team More Than Words Challenge Creation Reveal

Hello Everyone!

More Than Words Challenges

http://morethanwordschallenge.blogspot.com/2018/09/

September is here, and for some in the Northern hemisphere,
it means the imminent end of Summer and for others in the South,
it means that Summer is just a few months away.

Wherever you are, we are absolutely sure that you will love this brand
new challenge up for reveal today!

My Design Team take on the 

Add a touch of yellow Challenge!

{You are my Sunshine}

When I saw this month's challenge I was inspired to scrap this photo of my sweet little girl with her yellow plaster cast. It is not the best photo, but scrapping to me isn't always about having the perfect photo; it's about the memory. She is our little ray of SUNSHINE, always putting on a brave face and smiling even though at times it was hard having the plaster on and having to miss out on fun things. For the creative challenge I used YELLOW, yellow and more yellow. We hope you will play along and share your creations with us.

Our Main Challenge is based on a word inspiration and a creative challenge.

Word Inspiration - SUNSHINE

Creative Challenge - YELLOW

What does the word SUNSHINE inspire you to create?

You can choose to use the actual word somewhere on your project 

or simply be inspired by it.  Since words are an integral part of our challenges, we want to know how this month's word stimulated your creative process, so please do explain in your blog post how 
it inspired you if it isn't obvious in your work.

We're challenging you to pour some sunshine onto your project by adding YELLOW this month! Yellow is associated with joy, happiness, intellect and energy. You can use it in any way you like and you can combine it with any other colour. You can go bright and bold or, if your prefer, you can go mellow with your yellow. We don't mind how you use it, 
as long as we can see it!

I loved the Kraft and yellow combo  for this challenge. 

Creating with stuff from my stash.
Delish flair button, Prima flowers, Circuit leaves and flowers, thread, Pearls, scraps of paper.

Our September Main Challenge SUNSHINE & YELLOW

is currently underway and we hope that you will join in!

Link up your project by September 30 at 11:55 am EST.

Thanks for stopping by.
