Stuck Sketches 15th April

Decided to do a bold paper from  Kaisercrafts Indigo Skies and Ubud dreams.

These girls had so much fun cooling down, I wanted a fun paper to reflect that moment.

Lots of layering and texture.

Kraftplus April challenge

I have used Kaisercraft  Indigo Skies  paper range,

Some of their mists and their decorative  dies word discover.

What a great idea from Kraftplus one !!!

I had fun selecting paint swatches and cutting them into thin strips to create a border!! I wasnt sure how it was going to turn out, I just played!

Multi photo pages are not that popular at the moment but I am  doing an album from our recent trip to N.Z. so I  want retain as many memories as possible!

Maybe I  could start a new trend!!!!!

228 CSI

I had creative block this week! Just couldn't get it done by the deadline. 

Eventually  got it done !

I used frames, transparent  embellishments like the lace and some scrols cut from acetate, a flower and I used an embossing  folder but its hidden under the stamping.

My story is on an artisan label.

CSI 226

These colours  are just perfect to share with you  one of my favorite photos  from our recent  trip to NZ

I went there with a bus load of  friends over 30 years ago  and I  was totally  over whelmed with this gorgeous  sight then. I hope this page describes the excitement  I experienced  as I was able to  see them again,  and especially  sharing  it with my daughter!

It had been raining but at this magical moment it stoped long enough for me to get theze photos! 

I chose to use hearts, clouds, flowers and my story was put in list form!

1. Go to NZ

2. Visit Milford Sound

3.Look for Lupins

4. See Katie's face light up!

5.Share the joy I had over 30 years ago 

6. Reminisce!

CSI challenge 225

I chose the diamonds to feature for my evidence and teamed it with things that fly , my kids on the sky swing at Rotorua in New Zealand!

Extra evidence: glasses, wood.

My testimony was the story of flying  at 150km/hour for afew seconds!!

Always love Ems sketches as they allow a story to be told!!!

February CSI challenge

Bright colours for February,  I think  we all need  that!
I really  enjoy using a dark  background.  It is navy but looks lighter!
Gingham fabric, ribbons, pleated some fabric under the word wonderful.
Transparent  stickers  on my title, mounted on yellow to pop.
Clouds to add to the atmosphere! A few scallops tucked under the photos  and of course the loopy string!
I decided to use speech bubbles  but also incorporated the inspiration in story.

The sketch had to be mirrored  so as to suit my photos!

Kraft plus January

Just made it to share in this months on-your-bike-january-challenge at http://kraftpluschallenges.blogspot.com.au/2016/12/on-your-bike-january-challenge.html
Holiday time and been away.
This is an original  photo,  so quality is poor but it was my first thought when I saw this challenge.  I was a little girl busy building cubby houses  with the excess  bricks from the new house we moved into in 1968. My little  tricycle looks a little overloaded!
