Daring Cardmakers

At Daring cardmakers here's their challenge.

I've used a downloadable digi goose picture on my Christmas card, plus several scraps of patterned papers. For a final touch I added bling to the egg.

I was giggling while I made this,it is such a funny image. Hope you like it too.

Freaky Fast formula.

Here's another layout using my April Counterfeit Kit. It is for the scraproom group Freaky Fast Formula.

My 3" x 5" piece is actually a paper cutlery bag which I recycled and used to hold the tag. I stamped the flowers on the tag in Cyan blue.

Pocket page and Challenge YOUrself.

Today I've made a pocket page. It uses the 2 forged papers I had in my kit plus a rose transparency. Inside the pocket is the program from a recent exhibition I attended with my daughter.

The painted wash on the blue paper suits the fact that it was an art exhibition.

We also had a yummy lunch while there, which is the other photo.

*********************************************************************************

Now at Challenge YOUrself they have asked us to use stars as it is their #100 challenge.

CONGRATULATIONS !!!

I'm going back through old photos and found some of Erica and I in Tasmania, at Bicheno Blowhole.

I've used a packet of fabric striped stars I had in my hoard and 2 brackets that matched the background paper. I also did some simple stitching in wave shapes on the right of the photos. That's me in the blue T shirt.

Lasting memories

Here's a layout for Lasting Memories and using my Counterfeit kit.

The challenge was triangles and I used a dark paper as my background.My triangles used scraps in shades of green. I've also used a black and white scrap of patterned paper with triangles.

To embellish it I used Jillybean soup letters in 2 colours (playing alpha scrabble). I also had a border strip in pink to match the flowers.The 2 butterflies were added because I read that echinacea attracts butterflies in gardens.There is also a fussy cut pinky flower cluster.

Mystical colour challenge and Rochelle Spears.

At Mystical scrapbooking there's this colour palette.

This happens to suit some of the papers in my Counterfeit kit. I've added cream matting for my photos.

Then at Rochelle Spears there's this sketch. I'm combining the two.

One difference I made was to put my photos at angles, it suited them better.

Here's some close ups

Here's the layout

I'm pleased to use that green leaves paper ,it is one of those you aren't sure about but I think it works here.

3 green layouts.

Here's my first layout with the kit. I made it for myself. No challenges connected to it.

I've used some Cosmo Cricket tags that I've had for years. They matched the colours perfectly .

Also on here is 3 flowers I constructed using the green base layer and the top red flower.. I added a wood veneer leaf(my last one).

*******************

Next I did a reflective layout for my Covid Album. I called it Survivor.

It's not my best photo,in fact it's a selfie I took while out for my morning walk.

On here I used more of my covid themed embellishments and described what life was like at the beginning of covid.

I'm about to get my 2nd booster owing to my low immunity.

********************

By now can you tell I like green? This one also uses the Cosmo Cricket tags,which are all gone now.

These big frogs were in a park as an ornament and for kids to climb on. I thought they were fun. I've used smaller words that relate to frogs on my tags and used 3 brackets as well.
