Kraft + March Challenge

This month's challenge at Kraft + is a Denim Revolution, to use denim in some way on your creation.
I had at once stage had a pocket from an old pair of jeans sitting in my drawer but it seems that I had cleaned it out as it been there so long and I thought I wouldn't need it for anything.
So I went down to the local opshop to look for a cheap pair of jeans, and found one with a pretty pattern on the pocket.  I was ok to chop them up for the pocket as they were a size 10 and would of course never fit me!
I then found a photo of a younger Chelsea in a pair of overalls so that photo had to be used.  Neither of my girls got to wear overalls much so I was surprised to find the photo.
I struggled for a while with the title.  I wanted to use those alphas as the colour fit in well but there was only one 'e'.  I knew I had the word 'overall' so spent time searching for another word without an 'e'.  I liked the play on words, even if hubby found it a bit lame.  :)
I have done a bit of journalling on the tag tucked into the pocket.
I took inspiration from the pattern on the pocket and used some new bling to make the same pattern on the cardstock.
I like the overall look and am happy with my jeans pocket.
And I have put the other pocket away in the drawer, just in case I need it.

White with 1 April challenge

Image
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 1 July

Image
I used one of my purple gelatos with some water to create the shaped border.  I punched out the butterflies from some paint samples I had used for another challenge months ago and added some bling. The page behind the photos is the same gelato on a page from an old book, with a few flowers and stickers added on. I even managed to figure out a word for the title from some shiny purple alphas I have.
