Good morning Krafters!
Welcome to December! Seriously,
where has the year gone??? Though, don’t despair, we have another year full of
challenges up our sleeve for you. We look forward to sharing those with you in 2020.
Thank you to all who
participated in last month’s FLORAL ART Challenge, the K+ Facebook Community
page is looking very flowery and colourful! We truly do love seeing all your creations.
Unfortunately with year end,
comes the end of our time with the lovely Melinda. It’s been such a joy to have her as
part of the DT, her creations have delighted us each and every month. Thank you
so much Melinda and huge best wishes.
Now, onto the December challenge. This month we wanted to keep it easy, as
December is typically a little crazy, so we have...
HO HO HO SKETCH CHALLENGE,
to get you into the
Christmas spirit, though it doesn't need to be Christmas themed, as you'll see from the DT inspiration.
We’ve given you some
non-traditional Christmas colours to inspire you, so hopefully a lot of the
thinking has been made for you, making this an easy one to take some time-out during the silly season.
As always, the
graphics were created by our very talented Amanda Hall.
Ho Ho Ho Sketch Challenge.
The Kraft Plus Design Team
I LOVE using sketches and thought that this would be the perfect page to
end my time on the K+ team. This was a bit of a bitter sweet page to put
together but as you can see I have stuck very closely to the sketch. I was
immediately also drawn to the colours and patterns in the swatches under the
sketch so have included doors/houses, snowflakes, the green from the pine
leaves and the diagonal strips in all different pattern papers. And then the
polka dots in gold with gold paste and lots of splatters! I have had so much
fun on this team and hope to be around still to play along every now and then!
Thanks so much for your support ♥♥♥
It’s been a while since I scrapped, but with the
assistance of this sketch, it wasn’t hard to get back into it...I always love a sketch to do half the thinking! I used paper
from Kaisercraft Christmas range and Distress Oxide spray for my background.
I didn’t have any Christmas photos to scrap (empty nesters), so instead did
a Celebration of Pregnancy page! I used the sketch loosely, but followed the
star placement (with the pink & blue), & used the stitching idea as
well.
Hi All.. I loved this sketch this month, and I have
got photos of my Grandie to remember her first Christmas.. TFL!!
Traditionally my son decorates the Christmas tree.
This first started when he was 3 and all the decorations were in a clump about
a foot square! Nowdays at 6'3" he doesn't require a chair.
‘bring the magic’- for this Christmas page, I elected
black, silver and green to be my non traditional colours. I struggled with this
page as I don’t do many Christmas pages. Do hope that you have a lovely
Christmas!
I have to say, this sketch scared me! I was worried about those busy
patterned squares behind the photos and the gap between the photos. I solved
them by creating leaves in boxes instead of patterned squares (this was a lot
less busy) and I moved my title to the gap between the photos. I couldn't find
Christmas photos that would work with this sketch so I used some fun Snapchat
ones.
When I saw the colour
scheme for this challenge, I knew I had a paper pad with the exact colours. And
I even found a D-lish Christmas kit from 2016 with the same colour scheme which
was perfect for this page.
Thought I had lost my scrapping mojo for a bit, but
thanks to the sketch, and a gorgeous kit, I got there.
Hi ladies, oh my goodness does anyone else struggle
with sketches like I do? I have no idea why but I find these are harder than
the normal ones ?! I have been wanting to do some layered shapes for a while
now. I used glue dots to give them some subtle dimension, as well as turning up
the edges. I used Photoshop Elements to create my journaling and my Silhouette
to cut out the stars and the title. Wishing you all a very Merry Christmas xx
