THINK BIG ~ KRAFT PLUS CHALLENGE

Gosh a new month and getting soooo close to Christmas ! I am very honoured to be a GD over at Kraft Plus this month and this month it is all about think BIG .
At first I thought heavens what am I going to do and then I actually ended up creating two layouts . So I guess the trick is not to overthink things and then it is easy.
Here are my layouts .

The Perfect Day

We are celebrating our Daughters Hen dinner here, it was such a good day.
I used the BIG camera , as there was lots of documentation of the day 

Next layout I created is a travel page.

Beautiful Tuscany 

I hope you join in the challenge this month and pop over to the Kraft Plus Blog and be inspired by the DT's clever takes on the BIG challenge.

Friends are the Sunshine of Life ~ Challenge Yourself

Hello ! Today I would like to share with you my take On the Challenge at Challenge Yourself this month which is a moodboard.

Now living in a town that is called the Colour City and is truly beautiful in Autumn , I take quite a lot of Autumn photos, but I am rarely in them, and the ones I am in , I have already scrapped. Then I remembered I had a photo of My lovely friend Bec and Myself taken at a wedding where the theme was to dress as steam punk or Autumn Colours. See if you can guess who dressed as what theme :)

Lots of layers. I love these colours , they are colours I am drawn to

I also added some stamping.
Thank you for calling by, I appreciate any comments that you take the time to leave me.

A couple of layouts to share

Hello ! Today I would like to share some work for A2Z Scraplets and also Megs Garden

You can find the link to the chipboard pieces here on the A2Z Scraplets blog. This is my daughter at her Hens lunch, such a beautiful day. The flair is from Funky Flair Studio
 and on the weekend she married her love ,  a magical day. 
Once again the link to the chipboard piece and how I treated it is here on the blog

For this layout I used the In the Water Colour Garden range of PP  from Megs Garden, such a pretty range, just perfect for wedding layouts. The large butterfly , flowers , lace , silver pearl trim (which I have used on the large butterfly )and ribbon are also from Megs Shop.
Now to get back to reality after all the wedding festivity. Thank you for calling by , your comments make my day.

Jingle all the way ~ Megs Garden

Hello lovely friends, Today I am sharing a layout and Christmas Cards using products from Megs Garden.

Jingle all the way

I also wanted to show that A Christmas layout can be achieved without using Christmas themed PP. The Paper I have used for my layout is from Megs Lavande Range, but when combined with Ephemera from Megs new Christmas Range "A Twinkling Christmas" I think it works perfectly.

The Christmas baubles ,tinsel and stars are fussy cut from Megs Gardens  Twinkling Christmas Ephemera Sheet. The Tree and Reindeer are Kaiser Stamps and the flair is from Funky Flair Studio

As I have stated in a previous page , when our son in law is not present for the putting up of the Christmas Tree there is much debate and fun as to where his bauble is to be placed. Not sure how many years he has to be in the family for his Bauble to be placed in a prominent position lol. 
I also have been making my Christmas Cards from the "Twinkling Christmas" card pack. It sure makes life easy and the images are just gorgeous.
Today I will share a couple with you as they are on the blog today.

The Pattern Paper is already cut 6 x6 for you , see the image below

And the Ephemera sheets 

and then with the beautiful images from the Ephemera sheets , it makes creating your Christmas Cards so easy. You can find the Twinkling Christmas Range over at Megs Garden Shop and I also have links on my blog post at Megs 

Thank you for calling by, any comments are appreciated, they brighten my day .
