Li'l red wagon

 At Li'l red wagon  they want blue cards.


I used an embossed background then added a second embossed piece with ribbon wound around at an angle. I then fussy cut 2 drinks to use as my points of interest. 


Altered playing cards.

 I had about half a packet of playing cards and lots of scrap papers. I decided to use them and create some AST's or altered playing cards.


I'm happy with how they turned out and will use them as embellishments on cards or layouts.

My first one on a card is for The Male Room. The theme is geometric and I had one with squares and lines.



My time to craft Santa

 I've taken this month off from Counterfeit kits.

Late last month I had a knee replacement so spent a while in hospital and now am recuperating at home.

Today I made a Christmas card.

I'm entering it at My time to craft where they want rectangular cards. Mine is tall and thin, but still it is a rectangle.


I also made a second card using the same paper and diecuts.

Counterfeit Kit Challenge #3

 I'm actually in hospital as you read this. I'm having a knee replacement.

Challenge #3 is a double sketch page.


To create my circles I used red paint and a fine paint brush. I couldn't layer them over the photos but otherwise it is the same.

My photos are from a wedding that my daughter attended recently. 

Here is side one


and here is side two


and the stitched double finally looks like this.


I used several flowers I had in my kit plus tiny wooden and sticker hearts.Two papers were fussy cut to get the larger pink flowers. 

I'm very pleased with how this turned out.

Little Red wagon

 At Little red wagon they want Easter cards.


Because it is autumn here in Australia, I decided to use fawn and orange tones. I had the bunny and sentiment (You are my sunshine) already.

It will go well for an Easter card for the family.

Shopping our stash inking

 Today I used a gum leaf from the garden to ink out an autumn card.


I used a gold background Then inked around the leaf several times using old paper distress ink and pinecone ink.

I added a cluster of items next to my sentiment -hatpin, button, leaf and some hessian. 

This is for Shopping our stash.

Lasting memories circles wreath

 At Lasting memories they want a circle using punches or die cuts. I used die cuts but the letter Q in various sorts,


When we went to Disneyland we had to queue everywhere. I used 2 photos of the queues then surrounded them with various Q letter.. It is something different and a good way to use up random letters.
