Use Your stuff- Inspired by a book.

I'm scrapping 2 photos from Anne of Green Gables house on Prince Edward Island,Canada. 

As a long time fan of the books I just had to go there! Visiting Anne's house was a bucket list item.

I chose an old paper with green flowers,now partly covered up. I used other strips of green, a clock face, old fashioned wagon and lace doiley. The grass strips are from a now defunct shop, "Flourish with a bling".

Lastly I added a maple leaf and tiny flowers.

 

Cardz4guyz and The male room.

 At Cardz4guyz they want wheels.

I've had this picture cut from an old encyclopedia that I was throwing out for years. I knew I would use it eventually.

I'm now making Father's Day cards and this one is for a grandpa. I kept it simple but couldn't resist adding the 3 pearls at the bottom.

Meanwhile at the Male room they want wood.

I searched through all my papers and even my scraps, but didn't have any wood textures. I thought about trees and found a photo of trees from Darkroom Door. I used that as a Thank You card for a man.

Lasting memories-black and white

 At Lasting memories this week they want a black and white layout with a small pop of colour.

I'll swear I'm psychic at times. I have just returned from getting my 13  Panda photos developed.

 We saw them at Adelaide Zoo and as I arrived there just after 9am, saw them at their best. Wang wang the boy panda, was busy exploring his enclosure and very active. This meant great shots of him "doing his thing".

I used 2 Bella papers on this ,plus a 6x6 paper featuring plants. My pop of colour is green in the tree on the left and tab on the right. There's many words on this from a collection of DArkroom door strips that a friend gave me. Hope you enjoy looking!

I'm honoured that I've been chosen as Guest designer next month at Lasting Memories and looking forward to it.

Also I was top 3 at Li'l red wagon this time.

Atlantic hearts challenge

 I appear to have been doing some mind reading.

Atlantic hearts challenge has this sketch.

Early this morning, before I looked through card challenges, I made this card. I was using up chipboard shapes.It is close enough, so I'm entering it.

The little envelope opens up so a secret message can be written inside.

Sketch Saturday and others

 

I'm using up the very end of my kit by making cards. On this one there are 2 small squares from Simple stories , a 3D blue butterfly, a strip of gold lace and a black strip of paper. I added a sentiment.

My next card is for Inkspirational challenges where they have this picture as inspiration.

I just happened to have a yellow taxi in a set of words I used for the kit.

I used a grey strip across which has been embossed with swiss dots. (It wouldn't be a road if it didn't have potholes, LOL). 

I've kept the card very CAS with just that picture plus my sentiment.

Scrap our Stash 2nd challenge and Scrapchallenge YOUrself.

 

Here's the 2nd sketch for the month and we need to use arrow embellishments.

I'm combining it with Scrapchallenge yourself Alphabet soup.

We need to feature items of the same letter on our layout

The photo I used on this is similar to last month's challenge yourself, in fact it is the one I rejected. I'm squinting.

I'm using S as my letter so you have sea-lion, sewing (buttons), summer, sub titles, stones,sloped arrows,subtle colours, square brad. I think that is enough!!

I have used the sketch challenge so there's another S.

Hope you like it, I even managed some Hessian on this one.

End of kit and Lasting Memories.

 My last 2 layouts with my Counterfeit kit this month.

The first was for Paper Issues scraplift of the week.

I saw this beautiful shell while I was away in South Australia. For my layout, I tried to pick up some of the colours I see in the shell. Pinks and greens mainly. This allowed me to use the bright pink spotted paper plus scraps and cut up some 6X6 papers I have. I used the lasy of my lime green twine as well.

My next was for Lasting memories, where this time they wanted flowers and a tag.

These sunrise photos were very special and I managed to fit 3 of the 5 on this page.(Watch out for the other 2 coming up soon.

I have used 2 tags-the journal square and the geotag one, both in my kit. I found 3 orange toned flowers and leaves. 

This ends my kit,except for maybe tags or smaller cards.
