Quickie..

Just a short post tonight because it's already past midnight and my bed is surely calling.

Have had friends visiting today so it has been fun to catch up with them but the boys were not on their best behaviour. They were in that 'muck around cos friends are here' mode. Never mind I guess I have to remember it is wind down time for school holidays.


I actually found time to complete a quick layout today. I purchased the September Class in a box from one of my favourite scrappers - Penny Hackney (see my link to her Scissors, Paper, Pen blog). I received it yesterday and knew instantly what photos would work. I love Penny's work because it is so different to my own and I like to try her classes to extend my own style. I so don't doodle well on my layouts but I am learning quickly. I always add my own little extra to the layouts - either using different sized photos or like in this one, adding flowers because I'm a layered flower kinda person. I really enjoyed it yet again, thanks Penny!



Have to drop by my regular haunts tomorrow and check what is on the agenda for the challenges for the month. There should also be some new DT work up at Heaven-Sent, not mine though but I'm looking forward to seeing what the others have been up to.

The new puzzle sketches pieces should be up tomorrow at well. I used the puzzle pieces from September to create my "It's a bird's life" layout for the cybercrop on the weekend so you can drop by puzzlesketches and vote for it if you like. Every little bit helps!

Gosh Christmas is creeping up fast

I'm not real good at this blogging stuff, am I? I have really neglected it lately. We spent a lovely ten days in Cairns in the beginning of November which I am sure you will see in the layouts that I will be creating over the coming months and indeed in the last couple of Cybercrops. We stayed at Holloways Beach which is approx 10kms north of Cairns city and the beach is not like our South Aussie beaches where we have the soft hard packed sand, it was grainy and moved a lot under foot. In Cairns itself you cannot swim at the beach as the city has a more swampy beachfront which is muddy and tacky with lots of crabs. At this time of the year also, the waters are full of stingers so it is dangerous to swim in the sea unless in an enclosed netted off area for protection. Holloways beach had a small area to do this and the boys liked it but the current was strong and wavy and no sooner would they stand up than wave would come and dump them under again. It became a little much for them a

My Christmas cards with North Pole papers.....

Image
Last Christmas season I bought the Kaisercraft North Pole 6.5" x 6.5" paper pad as I really loved the colours of the papers. Of course I really didn't get a chance to use them much  because I had already made my cards earlier in the year so have been putting them to use in recent weeks for my cards for this Christmas Season. Inspired by Pinterest above.    A sketch from Paper Wishes for World Card Making Day was used for above and below.  Above is another Paper Wishes sketch for World Card Making Day and below is OWH sketch #236. Another Pinterest inspired card using a lace stamp from Kaisercraft - Oh so lovely set.   More Christmas cards for my own use made with Kaisercraft North Pole papers. #wcmd2015 @sctmagazine - Challenge #3 sketch challenge Mojo Monday sketch #334 And last but not least another sketch that I can't find the details for. Thanks for dropping by again, Happy Craftin'...........

The last of the scraps.....

Image
The last of the glossy magazine scraps with toppers and extra bits. These went to Combat Cards SA just before the close off of Christmas cards.   Stamps are from a Clear Impressions set with Creative Stamping magazine. Die-cut is from Stampin' Up.     These are based on some sketches but it has been a while and I can't remember which ones they were so I  won't be able to share that this time around. Thanks for dropping by ......
