Good morning Krafters!
Welcome to August!!! I know I
say this each and every month, but where is the time going...eeeck! It’s all
moving way too fast for me.
As always, I absolutely love the
Facebook K+ Community page, thank you to all who participated in our BOLLYWOOD
Challenge. It was fabulous to see that colour, bling and of course all those
gorgeous mandala’s!
Now, the best thing
about a new month is a new challenge. This month we want you to be inspired by NURSERY
RHYMES, and the lovely graphics on this month’s mood board. As always, the
graphics were created by the very talented Amanda Hall.
‘NURSERY RHYMES’ Challenge.
The Kraft Plus Design Team
As always, these girls have
amazed me with their creativity!
“Mary had a little lamb”-had a blast making this one. Firstly,
I had to take a selfie-yup! with the ‘stickers’ component on my phone. My aim
was to try and keep this one vintage as Nursery Rhymes have been around for a
very long time.
Fun fact: Mary Had a Little Lamb, is an all-American nursery rhyme first published as a poem in 1830by Sarah Hale in Boston. There you go!

I must admit I struggled a little with this, until I decided to journal about my long held fear of spiders! Not exactly how I imagined a nursery-rhyme inspired page to go, but that is the beauty of challenges, they take you in all different directions!
For my layout, I was
inspired by the nursery rhyme, Little Boy Blue, lol obviously. My great nephew
has lovely blue eyes, and with him dressed in blue, I thought it was the
perfect choice. I tried to add lots of different blues on the layout, the
challenge was to get them to compliment each other.
August, Nursery Rhymes
Guest Designer
This month we
welcome back an ex Designer,
the very lovely
Belinda Spencer as Guest Designer!
I’ve always been a
huge fan of Belinda’s work and was very sad to see her leave K+! I am so
appreciative of her stepping up to help out this month, as unfortunately our
nominated Guest Designer had to pull out due to family issues...continued best
wishes to them.
Thanks Belinda!
Hello! My name is Belinda Spencer and I have been
scrapping since 2003. I live on a farm in the Adelaide Hills with my husband,
two children and a multitude of animals.
I am predominantly a scrapper but also love to create cards, artist trading cards and the odd mini album and off the page project.
My style tends to be all over the place. Sometimes I aim for a cleaner, quicker A4 size layout. Sometimes I splash about a bit of mixed media. It all depends how I feel on the day and how much time I have to get something done. I do love to include texture and dimension with lots of lovely layers. My favourite technique right now is to create a watercolour effect on my backgrounds using paints. I would be lost without my Canson white cardstock, craft knife and inks!
I have been published in Scrapbook Creations, Scrapbooking Memories and Somerset Memories magazines.
I am currently a Design Team member at The Dusty Attic and contributing artist at Darkroom Door. Previous teams have included Kraft Plus Challenges, The Scrapbook Store, Charms Creations, Imaginarium Designs, The Colour Room, Purple Pumpkin, White With One, and Kaisercraft.
I would love to thank Paula for inviting me to be a guest designer for August. I hope that you find some time to play along with this awesome challenge.
