Hopscotch

 Hello and as always welcome to my blog. Tonight I'm sharing a page that I have created for this months challenge at Kraft+ over on Facebook.
At first I thought what a fun challenge I have never worked with actual chalk before in my scrapbooking. Well not the type of chalk that one uses to draw with on the ground like I remembered doing at school. 
 
 
So off to the craft shop to get some chalk. I had a thought in my mind to what I was going to do with the chalk.
 
 
Now for my page. The cutie in the photo is my girlfriends daughter.
 
 
I have used the chalk to create the hopscotch and also the flowers.
When I was reading how Heather McMahon created her work and used hairspray to seal the chalk I decided it was a fantastic idea and I did the same.
 
I used white cardstock to draw my hopscotch so it would show up and coloured the squares. I then used a Posca paint pen and did the outside lines. I then used a black Posca paint pen and numbered the squares just like when I was at school and numbered them with chalk. I then fussy cut it out.

For the flowers I stamped them on the white cardstock. I then coloured them with the chalk and then fussy cut them out. 

 
I had so much fun creating this page and thinking back to when I was a little girl. These days primary schools tend to pain the hopscotches on the ground so they are always there. In my day it was the good old chalk.

Kraft Cardstock
Chalk
Mix Of Patterned Papers
Dylusions Stamps - Fancy Flowers
Kaisercraft Clear Stamp - Honeycombe
Archival Ink - Jet Black

Catch Of The Day

 Hello crafty friends and welcome to my blog. Today I'm sharing this months DT challenge page for White With 1. As always we have a great challenge over on Facebook for you to join in with. I know you will love this one like all the rest we have each month.

Now for my take on the challenge. 


This very happy boy is my eldest son Riley and it was the first time he caught a fish all on his own with no help from anyone. He was over the moon that he baited the hook, cast the line, hooked the fish and brought it in.

All my embellishments have been fussy cut from the patterned papers by Simple Stories - Vintage Great Escape Range.
