KRAFT IT UP Feb challenge....

So the first challenge over at KRAFT IT UP  is....

You MUST use KRAFT, whether it is Kraft cardstock or Kraft patterned paper like the Fancy Pants Kraft Kuts range - this must be the base for your layout.

You also need to HEAVILY DISTRESS - think lots of ink, paper crumpling, or attacking your page with your Edge Distresser or a pair of scissors.

We want you to grunge it up!

You can use any other products you want as long as you do the above - KRAFT & HEAVILY DISTRESSED!!!

You have until 6pm on the 28th February to email your entries in to us at: kraft.it.up@hotmail.com
 
This is a fanastic challenge...& I loved doing this one & just adore my finished LO - a pic from our recent holiday at Norfolk Island.  I hope all my followers out there will give this months challenge a go!
 

Head on over to the KRAFT IT UP blog & check out all the gorgeous CT layouts!

SCRAP THE GIRLS FEBRUARY CHALLENGE.....

This months challenge at Scrap the Girls is to use this quote for inspiration......


"Dance like no one is watching. Sing like no one is listening. Love like you've never been hurt and live like it's heaven on Earth." - Mark Twain

other criteria - love hearts & Girly themed of course!

You have until the end of the month to submit your gorgeous LO's - email them to Kate at scrapthegirls@bigpond.com ...... would love to see you all giving this one a go!!!

Go check out the STG blog  HERE to get some great inspiration from the amazing LO's the CT has produced for this wonderful challenge!!!

So, without further ado....here is my LO ......
 

I took inspiration from the entire quote - as this suited Kate (DD) down to a T....she already dances like no-one is watching, sings like no-one is listening, loves like she's never been hurt & lives like it's heaven on earth! (probably a bit too much at times...lol) - and my wish is that she always will :)

Happy scrapping everyone :)
