Don't forget the Scrappasion challenge!

Just a few more days and the first Scrappassion International blog challenge will end and the next begins. You still have time to make a vintage style layout detailing a word that represents you in 2011.

No more layouts from me in the last few days as I have been busy preparing my Sympathy card class. Here are the cards the ladies had to make this afternoon.





I knew a couple of the ladies have the Stampin' Up Manhattan Rose embossing folder and they have been disappointed when trying to use it as it was not as exciting an image as they expected it to be so I decided to make a couple of cards using it to try and sway their thoughts. They really liked the middle card with the lovely butterfly cut from the SVG blog where I bought the file of her cuts offered on the blog. There are lots of them.... and I love most of them.
The greeting stamps are from the KaiserCraft mini clear stamps Sympathy set. The flourish on the third card from Basic Grey flourish edges and the floral image on the first card is from the Papercraft clear expressions range.
It is great to see that my favourite Christmas card challenge blog will be back up and running as of Feb 1 with a few changes to the format. Looking forward to playing along with Fab's challenges again.
Who will join me in the fun?

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 ......
