Kraft+ July 2023 Challenge

 

Hello Krafters!

Welcome to July!

 

This month I come to you with a heavy heart. It’s time to say goodbye to Kraft Plus as we know it. I owe Sandra a huge debt of gratitude for having faith in me back at the beginning and then entrusting me to later take over the helm, but now it’s time for me to step away. At this stage no-one is taking over, so this is the final month. I want to say a heartfelt ‘thank you’ to the Design Team, it’s been an honour and privilege to work with all of you over the years. I also want to say ‘thank you’ to you, the K+ Community...without you, there would be no Kraft Plus.

 

Let’s go out, with a BIG one and move on to what you are all here for!

 

 

July challenge.

 

BLUE, WHITE AND SEA GREEN COLOUR CHALLENGE

 

We are going out with a colour challenge using blue, white and sea green plus of course, KRAFT. You can create a scrapbooking layout, an art journal page or card.

I Loved this month's K+ inspiration board. I just happened to have a heap of newly created collage papers on my desk, in the perfect colours. I had fun in my Kraft journal, using them as a starting point.

This months color board really inspired me to go for a beachy layout.. I have used a range of papers that fit the colors and a photo of my Grand daughter at the beach.

 

 

I love these colours! It's been a while since I used a doily bg, but I think it worked well here against the kraft cardstock.

 

 

 

I think the colours in this challenge are beautiful! I collected scrap papers and ribbons in the blues and greens and layered them into strips. I love the focal image - it's one in a series of four - and added a title to match. I made the page partly white to suit the third colour in the challenge.
I can't wait to see what you create!

Kraft+ June 2023 Challenge - Photo Inspiration.

 

Hello Krafters!

Eeeck, June!

 

Thank you to everyone who joined us for last month’s WORDS TO LIVE BY CHALLENGE. I loved all your quotes, certainly words to live by. The FB Community gallery looks fabulous! Thank you so much for the support everyone.

I'm currently enjoying, working with collage and paint in my art journals. I love my little Kraft Journal. I took inspiration from the colours, wood grain and patterns.

Hi All! This months inspiration from the mood board came from the table and chairs, it reminded me so much of my Mums dining room table and chairs and I thought of families getting together to share a meal or afternoon tea.. I found this old photo of a group of my Family gathered around sharing afternoon tea.. The photo quality is not too good, but the memory it brings to me is so very precious.. My Dad passed away last year and he loved seeing all the family.. Now this is such a cherished moment.. I also used the colors from the mood board.

 

 

Inspired by the colours and patterns of the 3 squares - I used wood grain, red mosiac and black and white stripes as features in my layout!

Can't wait to see what others come up with.

 

 

 

I’ve taken inspiration from the stripes & the colours - mostly the turquoise & orange alongside the neutrals. I sorta took the cosy vibe from the picture, too.

 

 

 

 

Was inspired by the many different patterns in this graphic and its ‘old’ vibes. I have scrapped me in the seventies as a child 

 

 

 

I took my inspiration from the black and white stripes and the pink-orange pattern. 

To make my stripes, I took a digital words and quotes page from an ArtStacks pack and printed it at half size on both white and kraft cardstock. I tore these into strips and layered them at different heights.
I found a piece of patterned paper that was almost identical to the one in the challenge board, however most of it is hidden behind the photo!
What will your photo inspiration be?

 

Such a gorgeous mood board! I drew inspiration from the red and teal colours as well as the woodgrain and ogee patterns. So much texture to play with.
