Happy New Year Krafters!
Welcome to 2020! Can you believe a new century is upon us! Haha I know my kids think it's a big deal, maybe I've just seen a few of them ;) As I said last
month, we have another year full of challenges organised for you, so we do hope
you’ll join us for a new year of ‘krafty’ fun.
Thank you to all who
participated in last month’s SKETCH Challenge, the K+ Facebook Community page
is looking brilliant! December is always a crazy busy month, so we truly
appreciate the time you took to participate.
The exciting thing about a new
year is new beginnings, and we have some exciting new beginnings coming your way this
month, with the addition of 3 new Design Team members to inspire you, please make them feel
welcome...
Now, onto the 1st
challenge for 2020.
CARS; LIFE IS A HIGHWAY
CHALLENGE
It’s the holiday season so let's be inspired by cars...whether it be your 1st
car, or your ‘dream car’, or memories of driving holidays.
As always, the graphics were created by our very talented Amanda Hall.
The Kraft Plus Design Team
Hi Everyone! I'm excited that I'm sharing my first layout as a member of
the Kraft+ Design Team. My inspiration was the Road Trip / Adventure theme.
Here is my first share as a member of the Kraft Plus team.
:)
I totally fell in love with the mood board as soon as I saw it. Everything from the colours to the total retro feel of it had me swooning. I think this picture of my daughter posing with a prop of a pink cadiallac was the perfect choice for this layout. TFL. xo

For this month’s challenge, I dug out a very old
photo of my 1st car, it was a Mazda 808, previously belonging to my
step-mother. I loved the retro feel of this mood board, so tried to give my
layout a retro feel. I also used the quote in the mood board as my title.
This month I went with the colours - they’re my faves - & used the
adventure quote from the inspiration board!
Hi all.. I was inspired by this months graphic
about a road trip and adventure.. When my Daughter had to get up to Townsville
her Dad drove up with her.. I am sure they had fun along the way.. And this was
to be the beginning of a new adventure for her as well.. I have used quotes to
add to the feel of the new chapter that was commencing for her.. TFL!
Who remembers the Ted Mulry Gang (or TMG for fans like me). As soon as I
saw this moodboard I knew exactly the photo I wanted to use and my title. I
bought my first car, on old FE Holden for $250 when I was 16. Driving it was an
adventure, it had no handbrake (I carried a brick in the boot to put behind the
wheel when I parked on a hill), the windscreen wipers worked (or didn't) on a
vacuum and the driver's side front window shattered one day when I closed the
door. And I loved it. I drove it for over 10 years and finally gave it away to
a colleague as it didn't owe me a cent!
‘Let the fun begin’- lucky me, I saw this little vintage beauty in
Florence a few years ago. I have a liking for small cars. You name it, mini
minors, smart cars and beetles. They might be small but have great character
about them. Vroom, vroom, Amy
I decided to scrap my
first car for the ‘Life is a highway’ challenge. It was a great first car, I
bought it off an old couple who hardly drove it, so it was in really good
condition even though it was an older car. I had to pull the ‘choke’ to warm
the car on cold days though to get it going and definitely no power steering!
My first car was a HD
Holden. I bought it from my brother for $400! My Stepdad later bought it from
me and my stepbrother, then bought it from him! Lol..keeping it in the family!
'Circa 1984'...so many memories attached to this photo.
A simple interpretation from me this month. But I did relish the
opportunity to use some of my new Studio Calico alpha stamps (which I LOVE), I
have a feeling these will get a work out
JAN page!
I loved the vintage feel to the moodboard, and used this as inspiration
for my layout. The photo of this old vintage truck was taken in Rome, on one of
our days exploring. I love vintage stuff, and this truck was just fantastic,
sitting in a street outside a restaurant in the Trastevere District. I also
used the red tones in the vintage car in the moodboard and the word
"adventure" - all travel is an adventure, but none so much as when
you go to a foreign country.
Guest Designer
Please welcome back...Donna O’Connell
I was happy to be
chosen again and I really enjoyed the theme as it gave me a chance to scrapbook
the photo which I couldn't work out what to do with, that's the good thing with
challenges.
Thank you so much for joining us this month Donna, it was
a pleasure to have you join us again x.
Each month we are on the lookout for eye-catching
projects for potential Guest Designers to join us. There is nothing extra you
