Scraproom

Earlier this year I had a melanoma removed which required further surgery.
The initial cut hadn't removed it all so a second slice was needed and even then we weren't sure until it was tested.
My doctor took photos of the initial mole as it was a "Chaos melanoma" and unusual.

I turned my sketch sideways because most of my photos were horizontal instead of vertical.
I added my journaling on an extra tag hidden behind a photo.
All items on here were from my counterfeit kit.

Scrap room FFF

Here's the formula for the scrap room

I cut the required 4 pieces, 3 were pink toned and one was white with green flowers.

I placed them all horizontally but overlapping slightly.

Next, I used a doiley instead of a photo mat. I also had an oval frame so used that to circle myself in the small photo. Someone took this of me exploring the sights in Vienna.

The points on the oval frame match those on the lower paper.

I've used a well known quote as my title.

"Not all who wander are lost"

Use your stuff

I've made a card for Use your stuff where they want birds bees or butterflies.
The background paper is from my Counterfeit kit.

I paper pieced the bird then drew the legs and musical notes with black pen. It is a bright cheerful birthday card.

Krafty chicks and cardz4guyz

At Krafty Chicks challenge they have a recipe challenge.

KCC #462 Recipe: 1 Square, 2 Ribbons, 3 Circles

I started with a dark purple background.
Next, I cut a square from cardstock. On to that I added my sentiment. I then cut 2 circles one from a patterned paper featuring a globe and a second one on which I glued buttons.

I found 2 ribbons in matching tones and placed it across the card. Voila! It's done.

*******************************************************************************
At Cardz4guyz they want black and white only.

I used a prima paper as my background and used 5 playing cards plus a strip of black for my sentiment. I hand wrote that.

Paper Issues sketch

At Paper Issues on Facebook there is a sketch challenge.

I started with striped paper from my Counterfeit kit then branched out.
I've used white and gold washi tape down the side of the photo. I fussy cut that purple floral paper and have used some of the small flowers on here.
It required a matching big flower which I sewed instead and used a similar green flower as my centre. In the middle of that is a French knot done with the same embroidery thread.
The enamel dots are pink, not white as they appear on the scan.
Also I erased the pencil lines and they can't be seen in reality but the scanner picked them up.(sigh!)
