While in Orange NSW lately I went to Cook Park.In the centre is this wonderful Victorian Fountain.I decided to use it as the subject of my layout for White with One.Looking through my green scrap bag I was amazed at how many different greens I had so I've layered them here.Another criteria was green chevrons which I've used washi tape for.Hope you like it!

Never waste anything at Show us your stuff
The challenge for Show us your stuff is yellow and washi tape.
I had a scrap piece of corrugated card not quite 12x12, so used it as my background.Then I painted gesso over a chicken wire mask to create the background.
The title "love" is from some old wedding invitations I had kept since the 1970s and the lace flower I made from fabric scraps.
The chipboard cupids were part of a prize and are RW chipboard(found in the bottom of my drawer).
I've pleated green washi tape under the title and used 2 crochet flowers bought recently from Becci Sundberg.The brads on the flowers are odd ones I've had for ages and the gorgeous roses were at Cook Park at Orange where I recently visited.The smell was exquisite.

Aniseed rings
Here's my card for Lollipop ladies this fortnight where the chosen criteria were Aninseed rings and black and white.This patterned paper has some cream on it but the paisleys and title circles are white.The circles also reminded me of the rings.

Another Freaking scrapping challenge
This is a new challenge site I haven't submitted to before.When I saw the sketch,it appealed to me.
I've started by using some paper featuring words describing autumn which decided the colourscheme for the layout.Muslin was machine stitched on forst then the chicken wire mask was applied using "sugar maple".I then hand stitched around the edge of the muslin with gold broder cotton.The chipboard title from A2Z scraplets was also misted in the same colour.I've then added an wooden button from Crafty Queen and a crochet flower from Belinda.The pattern paper edging was made by overlaying a black and fawn scalloped edge to Imaginarium autumn leaves paper.

Show us your stuff
I've interpreted the sketch slightly off skew as it suited my photos.As the background pp was black and white,I went with that theme.I've used a scrapmatts park bench inked in sage as my embellishment.
The ribbon is Kaisercraft Magnolia Grove and the pearls were from Purple Pumpkin.

layering gift tags or journalling boxes
I seem to have developed a new trend for layering labels or gift tags.This card was made today and now completes my Christmas Card making.
And yesterday I did this Christmas layout with a similar theme.It was for a shape challenge on MYstical that required 5 stars,5 rectangles and 5 circles(or more).I've used Scrapmatts chipboard circles misted in red.
