Kraftplus December challenge

Hello ! I really love this inspiration  photo for the month, it gave me so many ideas. I settled on using this frame stencil and adding embellishments from Pink Paislee  Turn the Page range, just so cute and feminine!

As we are just to enter another year I have decided to keep my pages less cluttered (a challenge in itself for me) in 2018.

Make less more! Keep the photo in focus!

I admire it in other artists pages!

When I spent time looking through my albums its these pages that stand out!

So its a new approach for me!

The background is jumping out but in reality its quite subtle, funny how colours are interpreted in cameras! Bit disappointing!

CSI 241 challenge

CSI blog

These colours were definitely a challenge !

I chose the photos because they suited the testimony but the colours in them seemed to be wrong! But I am happy with the outcome!

By using the peanut brown as my main colour and keeping the red and yellow as highlights. The 2 pale greys were  tricky, so I found the word 'together' and the vellum looked grey!

EVIDENCE 

Stripes, leaves,

Hearts, woodgrain,

Arrows, vellum,

Something fuzzy ( wool fabric in the flower)

TESTIMONY 

About Autumn. 

My mum is 85 and cotinues to grow the most luscious beans every Autumn,

Her great grandson is loving  the experience!

These transparencies  are years old, I think they were 7 Gypsies !

They were larger so I cut them down and created a 'brick' wall!

So pleased to use them after all this time!

Testimony is about a summer activity and I wrote it by hand

My friend and I  having been meeting up at Junee for years  now during the school holidays.

 Junee Railway station and cafe

Getting our kids together  for lots of fun times.

This time we met at the train station since the temperature was hovering up around 38-40 degrees Celsius (100 Fahrenheit)

 Too hot for outdoor activities !

We thoroughly  enjoyed  the nostalgic old building  and the delicious  cafe!

The photos are about the TREES not the embellishments !

My son is always taking the opportunity  to lie down and he couldn't  pass this one!!!

When I  asked what title  do I use, this was his answer!

I couldn't  resist using this  range

 Zip-a-dee doodle from Bo Bunny.

Looks fun and youthful!

When we arived at Christchurch Botanical Gardens  this was the first of the many and varied majestic  trees we saw!

Scrap our stash August

Polaroid, brads, Simple Stories (heart, today, arrow, chipboard)

I have had  these Polaroids from Kaiserkraft and not known  what to do with them! So I turned them upside  and put the coordinating papers from the Lilac Whisper  range https://www.kaisercraft.com.au in them.

The brads have been in my  stash for possibly  10 years!

Thanks

Such a fun colour palette!!

I have  so many  fun memories visiting this amazing place in Wanaka New Zealand!
