Seize the birthday

 This morning, I have made a card for Seize the birthday. The theme is splish splash.

I got out my silky crayons. You colour with the crayon first, then use a water paint brush to spread the coloured paint. I created a pond for my swan to sit in and shelter her cygnets. After fussy cutting the picture, I adhered it to the card then added my sentiment. It will be given to a teaching friend on her 60th birthday.

 

2 layouts

 I'm having a busy month as I'm going on a cruise soon. Preparing for it takes time.

I've made 2 layouts over the past couple of days.

I had this colour challenge at Soul Scrappers, so I made this one.

A close up on the buckle and the smiling face on the circle.

My other layout was a scraplift from the "Not just for boys" kit page.

I used the paper that I forged for FOTF. Again, I used lots of items from my kit on here. 

Forgeries on the fourth

 

See that white paper with circled plus signs?  I've decided to forge it!

I hand drew circles around each plus sign and created this.

ABC Christmas challenge

 At ABC Christmas challenge they want S is for stockings or T is for trees.

I've chosen stockings and found this cute picture of a koala in a Christmas stocking. After fussy cutting it I mounted it on green wood background paper and added my sentiment in the corner. It will make a lovely Aussie surprise for somebody.

October Counterfeit Kit.

                      

                     

The October kit is from "Journey the World" Deluxe Theme Kit – {Not} Just for Boys Kit Club

Here are their papers 

Presenting my kit:  Krafty Travels.

My papers look like this.

As I didn't have much that matched, I put Kraft papers I had in my stash. There are tickets and a couple of travel themed ones by doing that.

Our guest designer is Lori Stroup who was a former forger.
