I have loved craft for as long as I can remember! Dabbled in lots of things... Embroidery, sewing, cross stitch, quilting, mixed media journaling, zentangling and my love of all is scrapping! Creating art with Paper is such a buzz!! for me!

Hint to self! STOP & smell the roses!!

My Mantra this month - STOP and smell the roses!




This months Kraft Plus Challenge is amazing!

Everything is coming up ROSES was the
the July Challenge with ROSES 3 WAYS

Ideas were mulling around and around in my head for a few days!!  Then I got to work!  Actually coming up with  5  ways with roses!
Rose 1  I borrowed a rose stencil from my dear friend Lola, and stencilled the pale green paper with Turquoise Ferro!  I just love the texture of Ferro! 
Rose 2 Next step some pretty rose Home Sweet Home napkins to transfer onto the Kraft!  love this technique, it adds a lovely element to any page!
Rose 3   Rosie's Studio Diecut Shapes - Flourish pack,  to the rescue!     I loved the roses with the gold trim just to add another dimension to the page! 
Rose 4 Paper Roses in pale turquoise and pale pink. Tiny roses in the same colours and one little mini embroidered rose too!
Rose 5  I framed the whole page in Kaiser Kraft Sage & Grace Collection,  Mint !!

The photos I originally chose for the layout, where some gardens and roses at the Chelsea Flower Show from our 2011 London visit, BUT every time I walked past the finished layout, there was just something NOT right!





  Eventually decided that the ones I used complimented the page much nicer!
Thanks again Kraft Plus for a great Challenge again this month!
