"Stamp" challenge at The scraproom.

 

The scraproom group has asked us to use the letters in the word "Stamp" on our layout.

 S=sunrise, T=tearing,three tabs A=alphas M=metal brad,morning P=pink Paislee paper

I wanted a layout to document my morning walks and these were a great example of the joys and pleasures I see early in the morning.

I also made this layout for my own benefit, not for a challenge.

It documents a drive we did while on holidays at Forster.

We drove to Gloucester then via Tinonee to Taree. The back road was a bone shaker with lots of ruts and bumps. It was pretty scenery though!

On this layout I used a paper cutlery bag behind the top photo and that huge blue journalling paper.

I inked the tag inside the bag and used embroidery thread on it.

I searched pinterest and found some forest animals that I could use.

Here's my cards, all made from scraps of paper. The sizes don't match but they will be used individually so that's ok.

Scraproom Jumpstart sketch

 The Scraproom on facebook has this jumpstart sketch

While I was on my recent holiday, I drove an extra hour north and visited my old neighbour Robyn, who now lives on a farm. She always had pets and always had a beautiful garden.

I featured both these things on my layout and used a Sparkle cat paws paper from Cloud designs which was included in my kit.The background paper is Kaisercraft Heirloom collection which is also in my kit.

The title was cut from a 3rd piece of patterned paper (unbranded).

I made the I moose you!! card (See Forgeries on the fourth tomorrow). All the other embellishments were in my kit as well

Lasting Memories

 At Lasting Memories there is a colour challenge.

My first problem was I don't have much floral paper,especially in those colours.

I decided to feature a cluster on the layout instead.

Two of the papers in my kit are tawny pinks,somewhat darker than the palette, but still similar tones. I used those as my background.The one going across is Ruby Rock it "Faded Empire". I matched the greens fairly well and included bottle green in the ric rac as that was our school colour. The pearl flourish is from Flourish with a bling.

The story behind this is I was "recruited" into the school choir in 1967, aged 12, for the official opening of the school. The song we sang was Gaudeamus Igitur and as none of us spoke latin, we rote learnt it!

Hotel memory layout.

 My first layout with the new kit features a hotel where I went for lunch while I was in Forster recently.

I've used some tones of brown which were smaller pieces in my kit.I kept the embellishments simple using a fox sticket tag plus a fussy cut fox.

This was the hotel where my parents spent their honeymoon in 1942. We visited it with Mum and Dad in around 1990 and I have happy memories of the place.

CAS on Sunday and Jingle Belles.

 I've made 2 Christmas cards, both featuring a felt reindeer for 2 different card challenges.

The first card is for CAS on Sunday where the card must be clean and simple. I kept the plain white background and just featured my reinderr in the centre.

The next card is for Jingle Belles where they want a creature.
