Moving along with some travel layouts

I can't believe that it has been two years since Heather started our little ning community of scrappers. In line with our second anniversary there, we have had a few challenges for June and the anniversary to play along with. I am trying to wrangle most of them to work in with my travel photo collection which I have of my holiday last year. Not so exciting for some as they are mainly 4" x 6" photos and lots of photos of streets and buildings but I wanted to scrap them none the less.
My arrival in Amsterdam where I look rather bedraggled at 6.30am out the front of the Airport. The shuttle bus driver kindly offered to take my photo after a 26+ hour flight with stopovers.
This is done using a sketch from Heather for the June sketch challenge. I've decided that twinchies and inchies are not my forte. Must be something to do with the size cos I don't do ATC's well either.
This is a quote challenge for June where I have used the quote:
A good friend is a connection to life - a tie to the past, a road to the future, the key to sanity in a totally insane world. ~Lois Wyse

The June Stash challenge was to use those die-cuts and punched shapes that you have trialled or was keeping for a special layout or card and put them to use on a layout. I have a container of leaves in various sizes and shapes that I punched the majority of, years ago, whilst borrowing someones punch. I also have a Cricut corner cut in the top right along with a flower that was sent to me in a RAK.
The last layout I have completed was for an Anniversary challenge to use at least two things you have received in a RAK or swap from other members of Home and Scrapped. Here are flowers and brads from Heather, greenery from Joy and the chippie title that I altered with smooch and ink came from Ange in NZ.

I'm slowly getting there but I know there will be a few double pagers to make a good hole in the photos.
Hope you don't get bored looking at them all..........

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 ......
