Moving along with the times

 This next card is for Moving along with the times. They have asked us to make the sentiment the main feature.

Using a rub-on I made my sentiment on plain white paper. The background snowy village paper matched perfectly, and I had ribbon that also matched. I kept it simple as the paper is busy.

This next card is for Christmas crafts all year around.

The theme is hard candy. I know a little boy who loves candy canes, so with him in mind I made this.

Festive Friday

 

At Festive Friday they have this combination of elements. I'm in production of Christmas cards so used red, wreath and buttons on this card.

Sketches in Thyme.

 Here's my last layout for this month using my Counterfeit Kit. It is using a sketch at Sketches in Thyme.

I had these 2 photos of kookaburras sitting on our street sign so made the bottom photo part of the title.

I've used the last of the rub-ons, 3 tickets, a tassel, enamel dots, plus a mix of word types in my title.

CKC Challenge #3

 

Here is a sketch from Paper Issues that forms the challenge #3at Counterfeit Kit Challenge.

I chose a paper featuring sunglasses from my kit. I then cut offcuts from my earlier layouts plus a couple of co-ordinating strips of paper to do my second layer. I used a large title I had plus smaller rub-ons as my words.

AS embellishments I used a crochet embellishment I won recently plus some Autumn Lane flowers. I then glued a wood veneer sewing machine and dressmaker's model in my cluster plus smaller Prima flowers. There's a strip of ribbon down the right-hand edge as well.

Scraproom layouts X 2

 

Here's 2 layouts I did for The Scraproom group. The first had to use items with the letters in WEB. I used W= wood veneers, wine E= enamel dots B=bling, bands of colour.

The second was for Freaky Fast Formula. I kept it simple but used more of the rub-ons I put in my kit.

Black Magic Sketches

 

Here's the sketch at Black Magic Sketches this month.

I used 2 more papers from my Counterfeit kit.

I also used 2 tickets plus a tag, the pearl flourishes, twine, some washi and 2 rub-ons.

Path of Positivity card

 We are asked to make a seasonal card using nontraditional colours at Path of Positivity Challenge.

I've made a Christmas card using browns and golds.

I'm sure it will be appreciated by someone. 

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.
