Farmquest

 At Farmquest this time they want anything kitchen or dining room.

A few years ago, I made a set of retro looking AST with a kitchen theme. I already used 2 others for previous Farmquest challenges.

However, this is a new unseen one.

Here's Mum writing her shopping list in the kitchen. Exactly what I did this morning before doing my groceries. I've used mainly green colour on this.

Cardz 4 Guyz

 At cardz 4 guyz they want lighthouses.

I've made this one for Valentines Day. I had the card from a range of scrapbooking papers so matted it, layered it and added some bling.

What's in the bickie tin?

 I was in this Design Team previously and Donna has decided to resurrect it again.

Here's the February sketch

 and my interpretation.

I've added these 2 close up shots of the flowers and ribbon areas.

Why not go and join in the fun? 

Scraplifting myself.

 I started my new kit yesterday by trying to use up some scraps.

This is an older photo but I like it so scrapped it on here. Pro Hart is an Australian artist and I visited his studio in Broken Hill. 

I used a neutral paper plus several branding strips in co=ordinating colours. I added some strips of crochet lace every so often for texture. I also found a quote that was suitable so added that as well.

I based this around this layout that I did a few years ago. I had added extra embellishment there.

February Counterfeit kit

 

Here's the kit we are to counterfeit for February.

It is Kitaholic kits from May 2024.

Misty says "I chose this kit because most of it reminded me of a cabin in the woods. While it can have a winter vibe for those in the northern hemisphere, it is flexible enough to fit many themes. Got travel stories? There are hints of that in here too. Scrapping boys? Most definitely. Want the florals? I spy some of those too. I hope no matter what stories you have to tell, you’ll find this kit will have you covered."

My Kit:      Cabin Fever

I started with my media items.
Versa inks in cyan, cream, lavender and silver plus inca gold paste in silver.

Next, I searched through my papers and came up with these.

I also found a few part pages so added those too.

My embellishments include ribbons and some laces. I also found flairs, cork items, chipboard and wood veneers 

I chose green and brown alphas to start with but might possibly add more.

 I'm also adding these items as embellishments.

Scraproom group jumpstart sketch

 One of the sketches at The scraproom group is this one.

It is for the jumpstart sketch. Here's my layout

I like the soft happy colours on this one.

Seize the birthday

 The challenge at Seize the birthday is Kraft and red.

I've made a card that doubles for a December birthday or Christmas card. I'm replenishing my stock.

I had the 2 tags in Kraft so reversed the requirements and used a red background. The snowman face could easily have features drawn on it to make a male card (moustache etc)
