Paper Issues sketch

 


This sketch is at Paper Issues on Facebook. I had the big circles paper in my kit so used it for this challenges. My photo is a seafood platter I ate back in July. Again, the plate was ideal to cut around.

I added 3 glittery hearts as seafood is my favourite. I also added workds such as blissful, smitten, love.

It's a colourful layout but I like it!

Tuesday Morning sketches

 I've made this Christmas card for Tuesday morning sketches.


I've used mainly plain colours for the toppings, but found a shiny white and pale blue scalloped die cut circle which matched the blue spots on the background.

Washi tape saying Chrisstmas became my sentiment.



Christmas card throwdown

 Today's cards are for Christmas Card Throwdown where this is their sketch.


I used 2 different wood veneers, the first is Santa

 and the second is a reindeer

I like both so couldn't decide which one to enter.

Mojo Monday and ICMD Scraproom group cards

 This morning I have made 2 cards. My first is for Mojo Monday (Poetic Artistry) and follows this sketch


In my case it is a Christmas card.






Next, I made a card for International card day using this sketch
It is for The scraproom group on Facebook.


I didn't use a flower as it is a male card.

Scrap Room group challenges plus Scrap our stash

 This layout is for all the Autumn challenges out there this month.


Scrap our stash has this challenge. I was inspired by the colours mainly but the suitcases in the bottom picture reminded me that these photos were taken on our holiday 2 years ago to Hamilton Island. We went up on the hill to watch the sunset ,which was glorious! It makes you appreciate how lucky you are to be alive.

Also at The Scrap Room they have a flower challenge


My layout features F=flower L=label O=oval tag W=white paint and alphas
E=evening R=ribbon.

as well as a colour challenge


My time to craft wants Autumnal colours

So here's my layout

Freaky Fast formula

 The scrap room has a freaky fast formula every month. It is a good place to start with my kit.


Here's my layout


As well as the required 6 papers I added a strip of ribbon, chipboard hearts painted yellow plus some journalling frames. I also used distress ink around the cream paper and the circle.
