Li'l red wagon has a farm themed challenge.
This suited me as I had some left over sheep stickers which worked beautifully and after searching, I found the word "farm" from an old Kaisercraft set I bought several years ago.
It is a general card so I added no further sentiment.
I'm on the design team at Use your stuff.
The current challenge is Retro.
I immediately thought of a shop we visited in Cairns, where they had old fashioned lollies and other curios from the past. This led me to make this layout.
Hope you can join in the fun!

At Kraft plus this is the stimulus picture
I've made a butterfly card for Mod squad challenges.
It uses the last of my Anthology paper, which was only a scrap, plus another woodgrain scrap I had here.
I've made it a Get Well card for a neighbour who is sick. I've found during this lockdown that little surprises mean so much and kindness goes a long way.
I've also made this card using scraps,including the fairies from Graphic 45 as a thank you card.
I'm sure it will come in handy somewhere.
I'm entering it at A place to start.
I've used this layout as inspiration for my next project.
The ScrapRoom Blog: Show & Tell Saturday with Christine Meyer
SIMPLE STORIES LAYOUT - Lemon Twist Kit from The ScrapRoom - YouTube
I decided to use 2 more papers from my Anthology mini kit. One is double sided with black on the B side. The photos are of a cheetah I saw at Hunter Valley Zoo.
My embellishments are 3 lime green small items,ribbon plus a couple of fussy cut butterflies.
Scrap our stash also has a remix challenge.
We are asked to scraplift this
I'm using the same 2 papers as yesterday's sketch challenge as well as offcuts in pinks,creams,and black.
I put a couple of random words on there such as "wild child" (We taught quite a few) and "oops!" (we had a few oops moments as well). My sense of humour comes to the fore again. Teaching is never dull.
The other lady in the photo is my friend from the school, and later my bridesmaid.
I've recently been to a school centenary and as it was my first school as a teacher I was keen to go.
I met up with several other teachers,including the 4 teachers that I was on 3rd class with.
I used Kaisercraft "Wandering Ivy" papers and Grace Taylor Banners.
We are asked to use striped paper this week at Lasting Memories.
I've gone back to my trip to Europe for this layout, as I had a red and white striped paper that I wanted to use.
I added touches of gold as it was so ornate inside. There's a gold vine and washi tape with gold and black stripes. Also cream and gold alphas.I'm pleased to use up a sheet of book paper as well on this.
Scrapbook layouts are always fun to do and this was no exception.
Mystical scrapbooking have a movie quote challenge and I've chosen an old movie named ALL ABOUT EVE.
Also Challenge YOUrself has a friends challenge
I started with 2 foiled papers plus 3 photos from my trip to South Australia in March.
These 2 ladies and I became friends on the trip.
After adhering the papers,I added 2 tags containing my split title.(Hand written).I added a green swirl from Flourish with a bling.some washi tape plus a tab.
Of course I'm on the layout (top right)
I've used my September kit so have pulled out the remnants of Anthology kit from February 2019.
Here's what I had left
I'm now using up smaller offcuts of my kit to make cards. My first is at Incy Wincy designs where they have a "spots,stripes and or checks" challenge.
I used 2 different checks, plus a spotted chiffon ribbon all from my kit. It is to be used as a 90th Birthday card.
Hope you like it!
My next card is for Crafty Catz weekly challenge where they want a masculine birthday card.
I used 2 blue papers plus blue ribbon, then added a cork rectangle and a frame featuring a heart. I decided not to use a word sentiment.
The newest challenge at Use your stuff is back to school and primary colours.
I've used primary colours on this layout about a school reunion I attended a few years ago.
The big numbers were finally used plus a bracket.
We would love you to join in there.
At Lasting Memories there is a floral paper challenge.
I had a paper with large flowers so fussy cut those out and used magic mount to make them 3D. I used a smaller floral paper as part of my background. I used a strip of matching pink ribbon across the middle to delineate the split of the 2 papers. There is also subtle small rhinestones between the fussy cut flowers.
The photos are of my 4 month old daughter with my ex husband. (She's 35 now!)
Our task was to create a layout using transportation in your creation.
I've chosen the Hop on hop off bus which I've used in several countries on my travels.
This paper has a tricycle in one corner so decided it would suit my theme. I had 2 photos on the bus of the seats plus the sign at a bus stop. The third photo gives the illusion on travel as it looks along a road,through an archway.Once matted I placed them on my layout and used 2 bingo cards at the top as extra journaling. I also used one of my masks to write "the journey".
Extra embellishments include a crown and a road map.
For Lasting Memories this time, they want plaid,checks or gingham.
I tried something different on this layout.
I had a scrap of navy gingham so stitched it to the background cardstock then layered white lace curtaining over the top. I added a part of a doiley as my umbrella. I used ric rac as my pole of the umbrella.I made the navy ribbon rosette and used the negative from 3 die cut flowers as my left hand side embellishment. The girl was cut out from a magazine
My next layout is for the Rochelle Spears challenge. We are asked to use this sketch.
and team it with Scrap with Stacey for her Tic Tac Toe challenge
NOTE: A "ute" is a truck with space in the back to carry goods. In USA they are called a "pick-up".
It is short for Utility but not many people say that.
At The scraproom group challenges the had a challenge using the letters of the word, LABOR as in Labor Day in USA.
Using items from my kit I've made this layout.
I've used L=lace A= adhesive stickers B=blue O=orange and R= ribbon and ric-rac.
This was on my trip to South Australia where I caught the tram along the Glenelg street to the beach.
*********************************
Also next comes the Throwback sketch.
I had 3 photos of Adelaide oval, taken on my holiday so used those.
From my kit I cut Tartan banners plus used the frame on the left hand photo. I did not have a giant bracket so painted one and placed words along it. The top tag and string are also from my kit.
I mixed my alphas as I'm running low on letters but the gold/silver thing works.
This month the challenge at Mystical Scrapbooking is movie inspirations.
I've chosen to do a layout based on my remaining photos of Venetian masks from our trip to Italy in 2009.
I've already done one here: Julene By Design: Scrapfriends Sketch challenge
From my kit, I chose 3 maroon papers plus some bling and a label. I used the sketch at The Scrapbook room where I will also enter this.
The movie inspiring this is "Eyes wide shut"
I realised after doing this layout that paired with the older one I now have a double layout.
For the 1 x 12 piece I used a darkroom door filmstrip featuring red flowers. I matched red brads and some of the red lettering from the mini alphabet.
Our kit this month is
{Not} Just for Boys Scrapbooking Kit Club - September 2020 Main Kit - Vivid
I'm still in total lockdown here after 11 weeks, it is getting frustrating! Again my kit needed to be made up from what I have on hand.
Here's my take on the kit. I've named it "Golden hours"
Papers
Embellishments
The jar contains brown buttons and there's a variety of ribbons and braids.I also found blue tassels.
