New Challenges for the Month


My second post for today as it's the beginning of the month and I still have some CT creations to share.


KIU JUNE CHALLENGE

This month your challenge at KIU is to create a layout on KRAFT/KRAFT PATTERNED PAPER using a "TIME LINE"
You will need to use a minimum of 3 photos (any size) and journaling, telling the story of what your "time line" is about.
This could be a collection of photos of your child playing a sport, dancing, or a school carnival, it could be a layout documenting certain events in your life, when you had children, bought houses, what you do in a day or month...
Inspiration can be drawn from anywhere as long as your time line is in chronological order, ie from start to finish...  Your entry must be linked to this post no later than 11.59 June 30th.

Pop on over and check out the site HERE to see all the amazing CT examples for some inspiration.

1,2,3 Jump 

Here is the LO I created using the above criteria.  Used Kraft for my background with some Basic Grey Oliver pp's with some doodling and paint splats.  A bit of twine for some texture and aqua droplets to tie in with the water theme.


Challenge Heaven - Series Challenge

Check out this link HERE to see all the challenges for this month at Challenge Heaven and the fantastic DT examples.

For this challenge you are to scrap a series of photos, must use at least 3 pics and an extra criteria - use stars.

Here is what I came up with using some pics I took at Easter of Luke hamming it up with his uncle...  I think someone has hair envy!!!  Thought these Bo Bunny Cambridge pp's with some grunged hessian would be perfect for these pics.  I used an EK Success star border punch and used the negatives and placed them randomly around my title.  I also added a cluster of stars to fit the star criteria of the challenge.



Challenge Heaven - Image Challenge

For this challenge you are to be inspired by the pic and the extra criteria is layering.





Lots of layered and hand cut elements using some Prima pp's & flowers and also some lace doilies.  I  was inspired by the colours and the lovely floral arch.  The cute little birdhouse charm I purchased from Tracy at My2Angels.

Thanks for stopping by and leaving some love :)))
