Happy happy happy Monday "KRAFTERS"!!! Simon Says Stamp & Show DT member Sandra wants to see some "Kraft" this week! From
paper to stickers or even chipboard, any loose interpretation of kraft is welcome here. This would be a great challenge to break out
the Ranger Inkssentials Kraft Tags, or some of Tim’s Chit-Chat Stickers, or even some
plain chipboard or corrugated cardboard. Even a grocery bag made of kraft
brown paper would be awesome! The krafty field is wide open, and it is up to
you to decide how and what you’ll make this week.
Are you shocked to see a scrapbook page? I was shocked to make one..actually two...but since Father's Day just rolled around and I was asked to design a layout for a few classes, I thought this challenge would be perfect to combine with it.
 |
| Besides the regular kraft paper, there is corrugated kraft paper here too, which makes the best texture ever! I just love all of these Tim and Wendy manly stamps with Wendy's sentiment. |
 |
| This is another variation I did in all metallics. |
If you are like me, and love vintage style Art and crafting, then I know you have Kraft paper items lying around. Make a project with them, and then enter it into our challenge. You just might be the lucky winner of a $50 voucher to Simon Says Stamp. You can also be named as one of the "Top Three Picks" for this challenge. Good luck, and don't forget to check out the other Design Team member's blogs and see what KRAFT they've made this week. There are some absolute beautiful makes!
I hope your hands get creatively dirty soon!
Anita...your layout pages are beautiful! I really love the teal-ish background one; but then, I love teal! Love your design and the colors. Those gents all stamped on kraft look very dashing! :) Love the sentiment, too. As always, a very cool project! <3 Candy
ReplyDeleteGreat project with lots of interesting texture and colour. I like to look thru the photos and find all the little extra details made with stamping in the background too. The teal one really grabs my attention.

What a great tribute page to that wonderful man o' yours! Love all the texture you achieved.
ReplyDeleteGood Morning Anita. What a super project. Love what you have done with the corrugated card. Hugs from Scotland. Rita xxx
ReplyDeleteI love the teal and craft colour combination Anita. I have never tried using corrugated card but it looks fab. I don't tend to do much inky stuff on a layout but you have inspired me to have a go. I think I will have to keep my photos well out of the way while I work though or someone may end up with a few freckles they didn't know they had ;-)
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness, how fantastic are these layouts! Love the colours in the first one, they are awesome, the men stamped in Kraft look amazing and the words are really special. I love the metallic one too - the photo really does 'pop' off this page. Love both. Hugs, Anne x
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness Anita, this is FAAAABULOUS..The background is fantastic love the colors all that corrugated showing all the fussy cutting of those stamps awesome, with that handsome guy as the focal point, darn perfect I would say, thanks for always inspiring me and have a wonderful day..
ReplyDeleteThis is awesome Anita, love the color and background and the way you cut out the guys and added them to the bottom, genius! I picked up this Wendy Vecchi stamp set the other day and put it back and now I'm kicking myself! haha! I love that saying.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great idea for fathers day! Love the torn up background with the mix of colors and all the fantastic male images you placed along the bottom!
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely awesome Anita! Nicola x
ReplyDeleteBeautiful use of corrugated card board! I love the teal one. Actually they are both beautiful! I could really get lost in all the textures going on.
ReplyDeleteSuch great layouts of your hubby. I love the way his photo jumps out on the first one, and the great textures on the second one. The sentiment is just fabulous. Hope he had a great Father's Day.
ReplyDeleteMind boggling is all I can say! The teal one took my breath away and that is hard to do at this hour
ReplyDeleteMagnifique!!!!

ReplyDeleteI learned from Linda to save those cans and now you're hitting home with trash bags. I should craft with them since I always forget they're in the trunk to recycle at the store. ;)
