Sketch and scrap snowflake card

 Yesterday I made a card for Atlantic Hearts and now this one for Sketch and scrap is very similar.

Here's my card. I used mulberry paper as my backing for the snowflake, so it was hard to cut and arrange it. I chose a smaller mitten wood veneer for the other embellishment.

Here's a photo of the cards I've done in the last few days.

Here's me in Pompei looking unhappy. It was about 100 degrees that day. I am VERY thankful that I can travel and enjoy seeing new places. 

This layout is based on sketch #209  from Sketch and scrap

Atlantic Hearts

 I'm making Christmas cards this morning and started with this one for Atlantic Hearts.

Here is their sketch and my entry..

The hut creative plus build a layout.

 

I started with leaf patterned paper and cut it into wide strips. I used a few random border strips in between.

Next, I matted my photos then added them to the layout. Build a layout required wood shapes so I added 2 bird cages. Near them I added some native flowers from Autumn lane (wattle and white flowers).

52 CCT

 I've made this card for 52Christmas Card Throwdown. 

The theme is green and cream. I had a larger sized wood veneer tree so used that plus 2 strips of paper from a 12 x 12 sheet of scrapbooking paper. One contained the sentiment.

Sketches in Thyme 8th September

 

Here's the next sketch at Sketches in Thyme.

I used a few scrap offcuts I had on my desk for this layout as they all matched.

From the set of pale blue alphas on my desk I used all the asterisks as embellishments plus the strip of navy ric-rac. 

Scraproom Group 2 challenges.

 I've done 2 more layouts today using my Counterfeit kit papers.

The first is for the scraproom group using the letters in the word TEACH.

I have used T=tearing E=enamel dots A=autumn C=clear letters H=heart.

That is an old Rusty Pickle paper that I'm pleased to use.

Next is a throwback sketch

I used a spotted Basic Grey as my background. Then I added a strip of plaid in dark blue and a lighter blue figured paper (I think they're bales of cotton). Along the bottom of that I added 2 rows of border strips.

These 2 photos are of an antique doll's bed made by my grandfather in the 1920s. I recently decided to give it to a local charity to do up and sell. I used my 72 year old teddy bear as the model.

After doing the journalling I found the perfect title in a Christmas pack. My last embellishments were the 2 flais.
