At my time to craft they want us to use fibre. This can include twine, ribbon, embroidery cotton, fabric etc.
The word 'fabric' reminded me I had some bright fabric with frogs on. I used Jack paper to adhere it to my card then added a journal square for my sentiment and some matching washi tape.
It will be a good card for children as it is bright and colourful.
I used my kit to make this layout of my daughter dressed as a sheep.
This 3rd one was for another challenge involving fussy cutting.
This final one made me use lots of bits and pieces. The wood veneer leaves I bought recently in a specials bin, the buttons were old, the J was a cut out one from when I first learnt scrapbooking 20 years ago and the butterfly stickers are new. The word paradise has been hanging around for a couple of years, it was from Kaisercraft set I had. Best of all was the paper which is a long-term resident on my scrap shelf.
Time to catch up on my layouts from this kit.
The first one was for Sketches in Thyme.
I used landscape photos but followed the sketch closely otherwise.
This month it is my turn to choose a kit.
I had an idea to do a look back at old kits we did years ago and repeat one as a
FLASHBACK MONTH
Here's the kit I've chosen
Click here to see my original interpretation of that kit.
A couple of things I noticed back then was the Blackboard trend with black matte papers you could write on. The other was flairs and brads which I used a lot of back then.
Without further Ado here's my kit this time around. I've named it CALYPSO DAYS
PAPERS
STAMPS
This time we are inspired by a collection of seashells. This at Time out challenge
I had a picture of seashells on the shore, so turned it into this card.
It has a neutral pale yellow/cream background then vellum and the matted picture. I used orange washi tape down the left-hand side plus some taupe enamel dots. My sentiment says love.
At Cardz 4 guyz they want checks or plaids.
I've actually used 2 different plaid scraps to make this Christmas card.
I think a male of any age would be happy to receive this at Christmas.
The challenge at Farmquest is sewing.
I've made a layout about a ride on a horse and wagon when we were in Norfolk Island. It was fun sitting up high and riding around the farms and orchards on the island.
I've machine stitched a couple of circles around the photos and hand stitched the black and white ribbon flower.
This morning while waiting for the washing machine, I made a Christmas card.
The theme at GirlzCreativeChristmas is Christmas baubles.
I had one cut out ready!
I drew my own chain to hang it on and added faux stitching around the bauble to make it stand out more.
I used a sketch from Sketch 'n' scrap #209. for this layout .
It is also for soul scrappers where they want one word starting with F.
I used everything on here from my Counterfeit kit this month. This is my second last page for them.
I love that I could use the feathers both real and paper die cut feathers.
To me Autumn leaves look feathery as they fall from the trees. That is what gave me the idea.
). It was a strong sucker! That gave me the idea for the title.
At Challenge YOUrself there is a patriotic mood board.
I managed to find a starfish which became my "token star", No other stars to be found anywhere in my stash. I used various scraps of paper plus some metallic cardboard as my longest strip.
The road signs are putting a humorous spin on my layout. I was leaving hospital after 12 days of recovering from Knee surgery. I used a stop sign but wrote "don't" above the stop.
This is my last layout documenting my hospital stay. I'm glad to get it done.
By the way, I used a sketch from "Sketches in Thyme".
I just did another layout for the scraproom. This is for the Jumpstart sketch.
Here's my take. Everything on here is from my Counterfeit kit.
Notice I used the offcuts of the previous layout. I hadn't got enough letters left to write pre-operation so it became pre med.
Here's the sketch.
Using 2 papers from my kit, I formed my background. I used an extra chevron type paper as my intermediary.
I used tabs and buttons from Bo Bunny (also in my kit) and the words are from a pack of diecuts I had in my kit also.
I had about 2/3 of a sheet of stone paper and also a stone tag I made years ago that said Thank You.
During my recovery from knee surgery, one of my good friends took me out for lunch. I was very grateful because I couldn't drive and was on crutches. She went and ordered the food then picked it up for me as well.
I also used 3 wood veneer hearts as well as the Russian doll I used for journalling and a flower
*******************************************************************************
This layout is for The hut challenge where we had to use at least 5 stars. I used a woodgrain paper plus a plaid pattern at an angle.
I used 8 wood veneer stars plus one lonely reindeer that I found in the same jar. They branch and tag added extra interest and title is happy because that walk made me happy to see the autumn colours
Here's my first layout for Freaky Fast formula.at The Scrap Room.
After cutting the tape measure paper I realised I could do it about my weight loss journey so far.I found the 12345 which was appropriate too.
My second layout for the throwback sketch is more colourful.
I started with a pale mauve cardstock. Misting in a couple of spaces.
I then layered several different colours for the pieces it required and used Cocoa Vanilla stickers on the smaller parts. These were 3 things I saw in Goulburn recently so grouped them together on this layout.
The June kit is from Not just for boys kit club and is intrinsic-limitless-kit
As usual I made a list
I put my own spin on this kit but have incorporated some of the elements.
