Kraft + September

The challenge at Kraft + for September is all about Spring (finally) and bees.  A wonderfully bee filled inspiration image was given and from that I used the idea of hexagons.
I found a 6x6 piece of yellow zigzagged pattern paper and used a small hexagon chipboard shape to trace around and cut out lots of small hexagons.
Good shape for not wasting too much paper but not always easy to line up straight on the page, for me at least!!
I also used a stencil with modelling paste in two opposite corners.
I added the date on a black sticker with a yellow rose and a black butterfly as I wanted a bit more black on the page.

    This is a lovely photo and all the hex shapes are very bee'ish. I think a couple of handdrawn bees floating about may have finished it off, but the honeycomb affect makes my brain believe i could lick and get honey!

    That must've taken some time and patience, but it was all worth it, it turned out beautifully!

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

Image
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.
