Kraft + Challenge for February

For the month of February, Kraft + has a challenge called Coastal Chic.  A sketch and colour challenge.
Blue-greens and browns with a great sketch.  I love using sketches to help me scrap, makes for less thinking for me.  And blue is my favourite colour, even though I don't have a lot of it to work with as pink seems to have taken over!
In spite of my lack of blue, I managed to create two layouts this month.  The second one I did as I recently purchased some lovely Faber Castell gelatos and I was keen to try them out.

Here is the sketch:


This is my first layout:



And this is my second layout, much more happy with this layout:

White with 1 April challenge

The colour for the month of April is Toffee Crunch, a nice light brown colour. I flicked through some of my older photos and found this one, from a camping trip my husband and I went on back in 2009.  Looking at other photos from the same day, I still can't figure out where we were at the time we took the photo!! We were on a lovely beach, water flowing down the sand and we found these little bird feet marks in the sand. I have used some stamping and stenciling, some burlap behind the photo and chopped up some letters to get the ones I needed!  :)

White with One February

The colour for February at White with One is Sizzling Pink. Having two girls to scrap I have plenty of pink but not much that sizzles so much of the layout is more soothing than sizzling. I decided once I saw that it was pink, that I wanted to use some of the many pink buttons I have in my stash, so I have made a circle of them, alternating light with dark. I recently got some lovely chipboard swirls and inked them pink, but realised it was too light.  So I found a sizzling pink nail polish and used that instead.  Sometimes you have to think outside of the box to get the colour you want!!

White with One August

Still not doing much scrapping but got one layout done this month. The colour choice for August at White with One is Sunny Yellow. I found some old photos of me at the park with my teddy bear in a yellow tshirt, so decided to scrap them. A large scalloped yellow background paper, some plants with painted yellow butterflies, clouds with numbers and an open door. The butterflies have little beads on them which are from a diamond painting I had done and had plenty of leftovers from, my new crafty addiction.  :)
