Sketches in Thyme #350

This is another sketch at Sketches in Thyme. #350

I've chosen greens because they go with the photos plus it is my favourite colour!
After cutting out my smaller square I drizzled blue mist (which didn't show up well) then used white acrylic paint through a mask in a haphazard fashion to create a background.

I mounted my photos on vellum left over from this month's counterfeit kit.
This is 2 photos of the castle built by George C. Boldt. Here is more information

We did a cruise around the islands for over 2 hours which was a lovely way to see them.
I added a tag for journaling but otherwise left it plain.

4 crafty chicks

At 4 crafty chicks is a free week or anything goes.

I've finished my Christmas cards this year so made a valentines card yesterday.
I had the left over alphas to say HUG (we all need those occasionally).
I made the tiny library pocket to pop a secret message inside and layered lace and the other sentiment.

Let's scrap

Here's the mid month sketch at Let's scrap.
 I've chosen to do the left hand page. I started with a shaped page from Bo Bunny and a neutral blue and yellow striped paper. My 4 file folders are made from co-ordinating scrap papers.

After matting my 3 photos of Ottowa's parliament building, I used a sticker border strip down the left hand side.
It was finished building in 1876 and we literally passed it in the coach without stopping.
In 1916 it partly burned down and had to be rebuilt and in 2014 there was a shooting attack.

To the file folders I added hand made tabs plus a red maple leaf and mounties uniform I bought in Canada. My flair button says "This and That". The hidden journaling is in the second file folder.

Mystical Cyber crop challenge #3

Here's the inspiration board for this challenge. 

The same Prima paper "Rossi Belle", I used on the last 2 layouts has this on the other side.
There are postcards and olde worlde flowers etc.

I've used airmail envelopes, twine, kraft paper bag, tag, dymo label, handwriting, layering,

wood veneer birds and camera.

Inside the small kraft bag is our original hotel pass for the hotel.

Let's get sketchy.

Its nearly the end of the month and I'm still finding challenges I meant to do.
Let's get sketchy is one I looked at earlier in the month then decided to come back to it.



Once again I used a Prima page from the Bella Rosa collection.
I started by using white paint through a dotty mask as my background. In this case it almost looks like snow with those animals! In reality, it was summer.

I used red as one of my matting colours since we were in Canada. We had a stopover in Vancouver which was basically overnight until lunch time the following day.
The middle photo is at our hotel and the deer is concrete. Then we arrived at the airport and found 2 more animals, hence the photos which were taken on my phone, so not as clear.
The red maple leaf and moose were specialty scrapbooking items from Canada.

Time flies and Paper players.

It's pouring rain here so it is difficult to go outside. I'm scrapping to pass the time.

This layout has been done just for fun but also to put in my New York album.

I started with a Prima paper background and added white paint through a Prima mask.

I added a strip of grey patterned paper across the middle with lace across the bottom.

This gave me the idea of layering more laces, including the roses scraps.

As well as my photo of Brooklyn Bridge, I used teased gauze

 ,a FWAB in bronze, a flair button, a small tag and transparency saying time flies.

Note also the New York minute sticker signifying it was over in an instant.

The 2 smaller photos are Darkroom Door filmstrip.

Hope you like it!

At The Paper players there is this sketch.

My Christmas cards are done so I'm now making Thank You cards.

I've used pinks on this one.
