Double Canvas & Card

Our visitors are still here from Scotland, thus no scrapping or blogging yet....

They leave tomorrow morning for the last leg of their travels, to Singapore....

So, things will return to normal soon...

In the meantime, thought I would post a couple of projects I made last year for Inspired Crafts, the best Scrapbook Store in Perth....

This first one is a double canvas - the photo is of our new home, which we have now lived in for two years!! Where did two years go...??































I sourced the verse from the Net....










The knocker and hinges were from an old jewellery box, which I stripped bare before throwing it out - knew I would use them eventually....LOL











Second is a simple card.....
















Thank you for dropping in again...

Hugs....

SOUS Challenge

Hello, I am alive....

We have visitors from Scotland staying at the moment, DHs younger brother and his new wife are touring the Southern Hemisphere on their honeymoon, and are spending 10 days with us. Thus no blogging....

Did find time to do the current sketch challenge over at Stuck On U Sketches.....




The sketch, by Liz Qualman....



I have used my Lime Tart April 2011 A La Tarte....



Papers are Sassafrass Lass "Sweetly Smitten" and I have added a chipboard title from Five Kids & A Dog - Litttle One....

The base is Bazzill cardstock and the lace paper is Basic Grey laser cut doilie.....



From my 'Finding's Box' I have used a little pink flower brad with a pearl centre (placed above the subtitle word 'sweet')



Photo is DGD # 3 Emma.....





If you're a regular you would have noticed that there was no Walkabout Wednesday last week. Mandy, over at Scrappy Go Lucky, has given us all a wee break for the Easter Holidays. Normal schedule will return over at the Blog in May.

However, she still has her competition running to win a Cricut Imagine machine. So head over there for all the details - Scrappy Go Lucky Blog....

Til next post....

Thanks for dropping in....

Birthday Card # 4

OMG - this week's challenge over at Birthday Sundaes really took me out of my comfort zone....

This was the inspirational photo for the challenge, from
Eat Drink Chic....



This is my card....



The sundaes are from A Child's Year cart....



The bunting from Carousel cart....



The birthday tags from Storybook cart.....



The papers and bows from stash, and the cherries are Kaiser pearls....

I love it, and had great fun making it - love the sundaes. But, would never had made it without this challenge - I had fun with it...




Hugs, til next time

Cards

Thanks for dropping in again folks....

Remember I showed you this card a wee while ago, and said I had made a total of five.....

Well, I thought I had better post the other four......



Time fair runs away, doesn't it.....

Thought I would have had these up before now.....

But, better late than never.....

The remaining four cards created with Cosmo Cricket papers, and some bits and bobs remaining from my Lime Tart kit.....







The stunning Tina Wenke stamp 'Thinking of You' (used below) was also in the kit....





These papers make me smile....





Love how everything just 'goes together'....





Thanks for coming by.....
