Kraft + DT - Right Here

Hello!!
 
Have you spied the awesome challenge at KRAFT PLUS CHALLENGES for December??
 
Check this out.
 
 
 
It is time to get those travel photos and maps out for this month's December Challenge.
 
Wanderlust
 
Kraft + Travel + Maps
 
 
Cool!!!
 
Now normally we don't get the chance to travel anywhere except to the shops. We live on a farm and have tooo many animals to care for not to mention plant cuttings that need constant attention.
 
However in August this year, we went on a one day whirlwind trip to Sydney to visit Taronga Zoo. It was the most fun we have had in a long time and completely out of our comfort zone. And in typical fashion both kids came down with high temperatures that very morning. We went anyway loaded up with Panadol and a thermometer and neither of them complained one little bit about not feeling the best. So proud of them.
 
"Right Here" Layout
 
 
My daughter was so excited to see the Harbour Bridge from the window of the plane as we were flying in that I had to take a photo of it. That is the photo you see on my layout.
 

 
I have used some map patterned paper under my photo to fit the challenge. I also stamped the Darkroom Door World Map Background Stamp onto some tissue paper and added this onto my CHARM'S CREATIONS Chevron and Map Marker embellishments using gel medium.
 
 
I also used lots of DARKROOM DOOR stamps from the Sydney Vol. 1 Rubber Stamp Set.
 
This was such a fun layout to create. I do hope you get a chance to play along this month too. Head over to the blog HERE to check out all of the inspiration as well as the rules of play.
 
Thanks for stopping by.
 
Cheers

Kaisercraft DT - My Year, My Story

 
Hi papercrafters!!
 
Today I have a layout for KAISERCRAFT to share with you using the fun and funky My Year, My Story Collection.
 
 
 
My Year, My Story is so bright and happy and fun with some really funky embellishments as well as eye-catching papers. I just love the little cactus images!
 
Not only is this range perfect for decorating the journal planners, but can also be easily suited to layouts and cards.
 
“You Are My Sunshine” Layout
 
 
Lots of gorgeous yellow with a twist of lime. I sprayed the white paper doilies with some Kaisermist in Yellow and Lime Green and included amongst the many layers of co-ordinating papers.


 
 
This combination of colours worked perfectly with the dandelion tiara my daughter had made for herself in the photo. Who remembers doing that as a kid? Fun, right? I think I might put that on the list of things to do in the school holidays along with getting some Pine Lime Splices! :-)

Kaisercraft DT - Planning Ahead

 
Hello!!
 
Have you seen the brand new Journal Planners from KAISERCRAFT yet??
 
They are gorgeous!! And they come in three different colours; black, blush and breeze.
 
Check them out over HERE.
 
I couldn’t wait to start decorating my gorgeous new Journal Planner in readiness for the new year. I got myself the beautiful Breeze colour journal.
 
 
How gorgeous is that colour?
 
 
 
I have used the new My Year My Story Collection to decorate my planner and I decided to concentrate on one colour per month starting with my very favourite mint colour.
 
I started by altering the first divider page. The dividers all have the loveliest quotes on them so I made sure I decorated around the quote. :-)
 

I just adore that stunning new release Mint Glitter Tape so not only did I reinforce the edges of all of my pages with it, but I also created some die cut embellishments.
 
 
See that cute little star above? Well it was so easy to make and you will see lots of glitter embellishments scattered throughout my journal. I simply took a piece of scrap cardstock and covered it with the glitter tape carefully so that no gaps were showing. Then I ran it through my Big Shot with different dies to spread the glitter love all through my journal.
 
Here are a couple more pages.
 
 
How sweet is that wood veneer butterfly? It’s from the awesome new release Lucky Dip range.
 
Here’s a closer look.
 
 
And a few more pages.
 
 


 



 
I pretty much used up every single scrap of minty goodness in my stash!
 
I wonder what colour story I will use for February. Hmmm. Maybe some sunshiny yellow.
