Paper funday challenge.

 This is for Paper Funday challenge.

They want 4 legged animals so I went with my favourite, giraffes.


I used a scrap of hessian I had plus a black and fawn patterned paper scrap. The giraffe and button are chipboard.

Sketch and scrap sketch layout.

 

Here's the first sketch for the month at Sketch 'n' scrap.

I turned it sideways as my 3 photos are landscape.


Everything on here is from my Counterfeit kit.


Yesterday I also made a double layout for The scraproom group.




And here's the double. Despite the ribbons matching up perfectly in reality, they scanned wrongly.

Love those pretty papers challenge.

 Love those pretty papers is another card site I have found.

I've made this card using an offcut from my kit, of striped paper. The smaller card is made from another patterned paper, then I cut and added the 3 red triangles. I added blue ribbon across the bottom plus my sentiment. 



The hut creative

 



My next layout was for The Hut creative and is a sketch challenge. 


Last year in late January I stepped into a hole and tore 2 tendons in my foot. It took some healing and lots of physio. I wanted to document that using these 2 photos. 

I had a sheet of clock paper so I fussy cut out the clocks. I also added some yellow paint through a stencil to create the arrows. AS well as alphas I used my dymo machine to make "remember"

Freaky fast formula and colour challenge at Soul Scrappers.

 My first layout was a colour challenge at Soul Scrappers plus Freaky fast formula at the scrap room.


I've used 2 types of ribbon on here plus 2 stickers with words. The title was made from left over alphas I had. I hand cut the small circles as I have no punch.

August Counterfeit kit.

 Ryann has chosen the kit this month.

Shop - Carta Bella Collections - Farmhouse Summer - Echo Park Paper Co


Our guest designer is Nadine Machelle known as Paper Route Scrapbooking on You tube. 

Presenting my kit: THE LONG PADDOCK


In Australia a field is called a paddock. As the papers are lengthy, I came up with the long paddock. 


                                                               PAPERS

For my kit I tried to match the papers by pattern and colour as closely as I could.
They are similar but not the same. 
Mine has wandered into the green shades more. (Funny that as it is my favourite colour!)
I had hardly anything farm related, so went off on a tangent of my own.


EMBELLISHMENTS
I chose retro items that might have a farm house feel.
I found gingham ribbon, ricrac, birds and birdhouses, a bicycle and an airmail envelope.
I also found some 6x6 papers featuring berries.








The washi tapes are red and blue mainly.

Those 2 colours are my main focus in this kit.
