A new challenge for the month at Scrappassion.

Well, the beginning of the month brings a new challenge over at Scrappassion and it certainly was a challenge for me. You all know that I am not an Off the page kinda person so this months challenge required the making of a mini album. Thankfully I had heaps of photos left from all of the witches I took pictures of during my visit to a town in Belgium last November so here is what I made with them: The mini album uses a number of cuts from PDDU Cricut cartridge as well as some lovely ones from the SVG blog that I purchased cuts from. The Stamps of life Halloween stamps came in handy also - which was a set I never thought I would use as we don't do Halloween in our family. But, you can never say never can you? Here is the only layout I made for the week too. It was the March sketch over at Home and Scrapped from the lovely Heather. I did manage to get to the Papercraft fair here in Adelaide this weekend after going on a wild goose chase for half an hour on the wrong road. Their blog stated one road which was the one I travelled up and down for on for a while before finally pulling the car over and phoning one of the shops holding a stall at the fair and got directed to the correct address. Seems I was not the only one that went missing..... and I apologise to those of my clientele whom I also misdirected with the blog address listing. It certainly was not intended to direct anyone incorrectly. Still, I arrived there fine in the end and spent up on adhesives, chipboard pieces and Smooch. A little more playing I can see in the future. Best be off to type up some card instructions....... Happy scrapping all.

Very nice album Melissa, and a lovely layout as well.
I would like to have got to the fair but footy has taken over our weekends.

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 ......
