Scrap The Girls August 2020

 

Ponytails & Paper Fails - Scrap The Girls August 2020




I just couldn't resist this month's challenge from Scrap The Girls - it gave me leave to be unashamedly girly and romantic.  I didn't have any leaves, and instead of cutting them out, I used some thread instead.  It was nice to use up some supplies that I wouldn't ordinarily use (ie the flowers).

Kraft Plus Challenges - Orange, Teal & Copper


Ponytails & Paper Fails









I must admit, I was completely stumped when it came time to do this page for Kraft +.  These rich deep colours just aren't my style.  Limitations do breed creativity however, and I made do with a few scraps of orange and teal paper.  I cut out some cogs in Kraft paper with my Silhouette cameo, and chose this awesome photo of my gorgeous nephew.  I had some fun trying to mix a 'copper' colour with acrylic paint to add some copper on the page, popped up the cogs with some foam, and finished off the page with a few pieces of ephemera.  

I rarely do boy-inspired pages but I was really happy with how this one turned out. Once again Kraft + has pushed me out of my comfort zone!

If you'd like to join in the fun please join us on our Facebook community, we'd love to see your take on this month's challenge.

Happy Krafting,
