Kraft Plus Challenge - March 2018 Entry

Ponytails & Paper Fails - Kraft Plus Challenge March Entry



So this month's challenge at Kraft Plus had to involve fussy cutting.  I don't fussy cut much these days, preferring to play with the Silhouette Cameo. I decided to use up some old Maggie Holmes paper (from Bloom I believe), and fussy cut the scallops out.  In the end I also fussy cut the letters for my title.  I also gave the background some texture with some stitching (after winning a fight with the sewing machine).  Photo credit: Smarty Pants Photography.  Happy Easter everyone.

Ponytails & Paper Fails Shine On

Ponytails & Paper Fails Shine On
You know how when you buy new scrapbooking materials you just have to use them? Well that's pretty much how this page came about :) I purchased some gorgeous paper and embellishments from Cocoa Vanilla's More Than Words collection. However I also challenged myself to use an old piece of paper (the grey background) in my layout.  I used matte gel medium for the textured flowers, and arrows on the heart.  My favourite part of this page is the glittered circles - made using the bottom of a glue bottle, some mod podge and some fine Stampin Up glitter.  Most of the rest of the paper and embellishments are from Cocoa Vanilla's More Than Words collection.  The title I had pre-cut using the Cameo Silhouette.  The stars were stitched from my freehand drawings.  Happy crafting.
