Looking through my multi coloured papers I found a striped one with every colour here except yellow,so yellow became my mat.
My 2 photos are from the enlighten festival in March this year in Canberra.
I've also made this card for Daring cardmakers where they want Tropical with an animal.
I've included the flamingo.
The challenge at Li'l red wagon is transport.
On my card I've used an old stamp I've had for decades ,featuring a boy riding a bike. I managed to fit 2 on here. It is always better riding your bike with a friend.
I also added a bright sentiment and a sparkly number 6.
I've specified it doesn't have to be cooking related despite the 2 pictures.
I've used totally kit items on my layout of 2 emus I saw on my recent trip to Kangaroo Island eucalyptus farm. https://www.emuridge.com.au/. Outside was a real emu I befriended and inside was a toy one, but lifesize.
The background cardstock has foiled spots also in turquoise, and is American crafts cardstock. The other papers are no name. I used several things related to travel including the car loaded up, wanderlust,Travel does the heart good, the flamingo (another long legged bird but alas not an emu) .The tag on the left was featuring cameras so another trip related theme. I even used parcel tape!
At Casology the theme is outdoors.
Whenever I go outside, I always reach for my sunglasses so here's a simple card I made using that idea.
At Mod Squad challenges they wanted something with book paper background.
I used an old index from an atlas. Using pieces on my scrap desk, I constructed this card for a male to attend a cookout or BBQ.The lime check paper was from that end strip on a MME paper. I matched the twill ribbon and used 2 black brads.
Here's the challenge I created for CKC members:
Scrapbook an OLD recipe. Perhaps you have one handed down from mother or grandmother or further back than that. Use those cookery items you added to your kit to scrap it. You could tell a little about the original person on your layout or perhaps even add a small photo of them.
I started with 2 papers in my kit. One was a Jenny Bowlin shaped die cut from the Front Porch Range.
I overlayed a spotted patty pan and red doiley in top left-hand corner. I had a small die cut that said secret recipe so used that as my title. The smaller words are Darkroom Door. I had a long journal block which suited this perfectly. I wrote out Mum's Scone recipe,it might be my grandmother's I'm not sure.
Finally, I used the shaped brads I bought of a mixmaster, measuring jug,teapot, cup and a canister.
My photos were taken on my recent trip to South Australia where we visited a lavender farm and ate fresh made scones with lavender jam and cream.
I used the teal blue, plus 2 shades of pink. There's a tiny bit of green in the old Basic Grey rub on alphas that I recently uncovered at the bottom of a box. I forgot I had them. I'm also wearing a grey and pink dress.
.My next layout is using 4 strips of paper from a challenge at The Scrap Room.
I also added ribbon plus 2 titles and a journal sticker.
Here's the story of Canada Bay if you're interested.

Also today I made this card for Try it on Tuesday while I was in a yellow mood.
