KIU and BTD new challenges

Well girls you know how it is with DT work at the beginning of the month, so here are the new challenges and my Design Team LO's for Kraft It Up and Beyond The Door this month.

Beyond The Door
First up is Beyond The Door... be sure to keep an eye on the blog, as things will be changing in the near future, and we'll be mixing things up a bit with exciting new ideas in store. One of the main changes is that from this month, BTD will not be a competition site, but rather an inspiration site. That means, there are NO PRIZES this month.

Catie would rather this site inspire you to scrap the photos YOU WANT to scrap and for you to be inspired by the rooms, scrapping your photos just to preserve your precious memories. Sometimes people feel overwhelmed trying to scrap a page for the sake of a competition, so she will be removing the competition element from this site. I really hope you will all continue to be inspired and will still play along and share your creations with us.

Here is the LO I was inspired to create with this month's yummy room.  There are also 2 OPTIONAL criteria to accompany the room which are:  1. Use a black and white photo  2. Use fabric.

Make The Most of Yourself 

Totally love the colours in this room and decided to go with a white background which I glimmermisted in green using a Basic Grey doily lace paper as a mask.  The fabric elements came from the lace and cotton doilies and I also twisted some muslin to make a frame for my b&w photo.  You have probably all noticed by now that I love beautiful flowers and butterflies, so of course I had to add a few to my page.

Hope to see some fabulous entries inspired by this month's gorgeous room!!

Kraft It Up - Sketch Challenge
This month at Kraft It Up is a sketch challenge, a fabulous multiphoto sketch from PAGE MAPS  www.pagemaps.com.  Feel free to interpret this sketch however you like but your creation must be based on Kraft Cardstock or Kraft Patterned Paper.  We have some fabulous prizes up for grabs this month from Scrap Therapy, 2Crafty and Wicked Princessess.

This is my take on the sketch, using Kraft of course and some yummy papers from Simple Stories called Summertime and I used my new Dienamics doily dies.. absolutely adore them!!  A lace doily, some buttons, brads and paint to tie in with the papers and the cutest little ladybug charm from my2angels.

Can't Wait to Share My News!!!
I have the most exciting news which I am busting to tell, but won't be able to share for a little while and other wonderful news which I can share at the beginning of next month.

Thanks for taking the time to stop by and leave some love.  I truly appreciate all your beautiful comments.

Cheers

Cathy :))
