Snip, Snap, Crop

It has been a slow year for scrapping for me, I just haven't been able to get into it much and life has been busy with other things such as searching for work and caring for family and furry friends.   This is all I have managed for the year to date:       A step -by-step challenge from Heather at Home & Scrapped. I loved how this came together and now just have to get myself together to finish off another pair of photos with a similar treatment.   A sketch from Heather above and  colour challenge below.       These two are examples for my own challenges put up in the last two months. Above is a "Pick your own" challenge where I provided a list of items to choose from and people could choose the items they wished to use.   Below was a moodboard challenge with colours and Moroccan style theme with layered embellishments. Just a little fun and some old photos of my guys.   Happy craftin'....

More freebies to play with. The lovely feather stamps with Simply cards magazine and the feather die from Australian papercraft essentials.These make some great cards and I am looking forward to using them more in the future. Lots of potential for them with a variety of styles.   The rest use a pack of papers and toppers that I have had in my stash for a couple of  years now so just a little plain papers and some card bases help to make up some great little cards without too much bulk. More off to Combat Cards SA. Thanks for droppin' by..... Have a great weekend!

A few weeks ago I bought a magazine with a free pack of papers and some chipboard toppers and planning an afternoon with Combat Cards SA was an ideal time to make use of them. I pulled out some sketches and played with them. I used some additional die-cuts, plain papers, border punched edges and a couple of embossing folders and these are what I came up with.                          Lots of fun and some lovely little designs that will head off with Combat Cards sometime in the future.   Thanks for dropping by and happy craftin'......
