Sketches in Thyme #710

 


This layout is for sketches in Thyme.

My daughter wanted to find her school reports. I searched the house but couldn't see them.

She looked in the garage and threw out quite a lot while searching (hooray). They were found eventually in a box. I used black as my background with ferns instead of flowers. I added bling to my title to add a bit more colour.


************************

I used a scrap of leftover paper to make this card for Make my Monday.

They want flowers.

Paper Issues sketch on board ship

 

I had 3 photos i took from the top of the ship to scrap.This layout suited that.

I started by doing a purple wash on the background white paper..Then I cut strips from mainly blue papers in my scrap bag. I also added a strip of antique lace. The photos are double matted on card and vellum.

I use stickers from Cocoa vanilla summer fun. Somewhere, I have a lifebuoy, which I will add to bottom left-hand corner when I find it.

Making vintage tags.

 I'm finished with Counterfeit kits for the moment so I'm playing catch up with some long awaited projects. 

At the moment I'm working on vintage tags using up scraps of paper and shop tags I kept because they were interesting.

During covid and just afterwards I stocked up on new underwear and leisurewear etc and threw out quite a lot. I kept these tags.



I'm combining those to get the wavy edge on to tags I can use in future.

Some came with tassels, so I used those too.

While decorating the tags I've opened Pinterest to an appropriate page for inspiration.



Crafty Animals

 This card is for Crafty Animals.


I made it as a retirement card, but it could work as a birthday card or anniversary or a holiday wishes card also. The paper features flamingoes. I added some thin washi tape along the bottom plus "Good Times" and "So happy " as my sentiment.

li"l red wagon

 Last card for today. This one is for Li'l red wagon. 

They want spring flowers. I've made this card to cheer up a friend. The sentiment says Happy Days because I wish her that. I used a small posy of tulips and tiny white lily of the valley. Very spring I think.

My background is metallic corrugated card



The male room

 I've made a man's birthday card for The male room where they want food or drink.

It features a barbecue and the word "sixty". My neighbour is turning 60 and quite often cooks BBQ so it is very appropriate. We can't actually see food on the card, but it is food related.



Allsorts challenge and Heartsquest fantasy challenge

 This card is for Allsorts challenge. where they want monochrome or anything goes. It is almost all yellow, but if not, it can be anything goes.


While I had the yellow cardboard out I also made this thank you fairy card. 


Again, I used scraps of patterned paper, then matted it on yellow card. The fairies are from Graphic 45.
