April Something Old Something New Recipe Challenge




Hello again Krafters and Happy Easter!


Wow! What a fabulous response to our March Fussy Sketch challenge!
Winners will be announced soon :) 

We have something a little different again to challenge you
for the April challenge.

It is a RECIPE challenge with only FOUR ingredients.
You can interpret the recipe as you like.. but let us know HOW you've used the ingredients.





graphic created by Amanda Hall 

criteria: KRAFT + Follow the recipe to cook up a fantastic K+ creation. 


Rummage through your scrapping stash or your photos and use
SOMETHING OLD on your creation.

Use a SOMETHING NEW on your creation, for example..

A new product? A new technique? A new baby photo?


Use SOMETHING BORROWED on your layout.

This proved to be trickiest ingredient for the DT
How about borrowing a technique?
Borrowing a friends stencil?
Borrowing something from the kitchen or shed?
Borrowing your Mum's sewing machine?

Use SOMETHING BLUE on your creation..

Well, that one is self explanatory ;)


The DT  and  Guest DT have come up with some brilliant ideas for their recipe ingredients to help get you started. 
We hope you join in on the fun.


We welcome all kinds of craft as entries for our challenges, from traditional layout, cards, digital layouts, art journaling and tags etc. but please remember that it is all about the Kraft!!
Your work MUST be on a KRAFT BACKGROUND (not merely mounted on Kraft) to be eligible.

**Please take the time to read the RULES before submitting your entry**
and upload your entry via the inlinkz section in our side bar.
 

(Due date: Midnight April 30th)



KRAFT PLUS DESIGN TEAM 




It is with great excitement that we welcome Lizzy Hill back to the K+ Design Team.
We have missed you and your bubbly personality Lizzy, not to mention your inspirations. :)


Old: vintage tag from antique stall, Tassy
New: new sewing machine- 1st time I’ve used it!
Borrowed: Sketch from “Stuck!” Sketches
Blue: Tissue paper.






Something old: haha loads of old stuff here,
the background is an oldie that I probably started about a year ago.
Something new...that would be the little rose bud & rose flower.
Something borrowed: the photo is one of Lou's & the tissue paper is a technique of Lou's too.
LOL, not sure if that is borrowing or just pinching
Something blue; blue spray, paper & glitter.




I dithered around for a while, trying to avoid the obvious wedding photos. When I came across this old photo of my Father building a round haystack more than 50 years ago, I knew it was time to record this lost art. So the photo and the haystack building is the something old,
something new is me trying to paint with my newish Distress Oxides paints,
Something borrowed, is the sketch from the super talented Laura Whitaker from Stuck?! Sketches! and something blue, the blue clouds in our Aussie sky.





 

My card design was inspired by Amanda's  beautiful challenge graphic.
Something old- everything is form my stash
Something new- the card I have made
Something Borrowed- my Mums Circuit to cut the leaves, the hidden hexagons and little cup /saucer
Something Blue- I inked the chipboard with blue inks, blue Maja Design Paper, blue flowers and blooms.







Soooooo not my normal MO but was away on retreat and only took stuff to make cards, started mucking about with distress oxides and a new die I had from a kit (which I thought I'd never in a million years use :)
Something old, the star dies I've had for years.
Something new, Distress Oxides and cloud die.
Something borrowed, was at retreat and borrowed the Big Shot to do my die cutting.
Something blue, the ink that was used in my clouds and the cutie patootie Tanner is all dressed in blue





Such an awesome challenge and really made me think about what supplies I was going to use.
