Layout sketch challenge June

I have completed my page for the June layout sketch challenge at My Creative Slice. It's another page for the album I'm making about great-grandson Zachary and will be a present for my daughter. It's hard to believe how much he's changed over the last 12 months. He's a real little boy now, quite grown up. I love this photo of him with his fat baby cheeks!

I have turned the sketch on it's side to suit my photo. These challenges are a great way for me to get some pages done.

miss you card

I tried to post last night but Blogger was a bit tempermental and wouldn't let me upload photos.
Using a previous Outlawz sketch challenge, I made this card for my daughter just to let her know how much I miss her. She moved back home with us three years ago to complete her university studies. At the time she needed a little extra help because she's also caring full time for her 3 year old grandson, Zachary. Last month she graduated Bachelor of Psychology. It was a very proud moment that she has worked extremely hard for.

Now that she's finished her studies she and Zach have moved back to Brisbane which has left a bit of a gap in my life.

May Card Sketch Challenge

In between starting the mystery quilt with my patchwork group, working on the last bit of my Janome block of the month quilt and making more blocks for my scrappy quilt, I've had to make time to do my card for the May sketch challenge at My Creative Slice. I really liked the colours in the sketch so I've stuck with them for my card.

May sketch challenge

The image is a stamp from Laughing Moon, and I've stamped it with Versacolor White over a grid background stamp from Kaiser. The brads are from Kaiser as well, everything else is from my stash.

Once upon a time the only stash I had was a fabric stash. Now I've had to move my sewing machines, overlocker, cutting tables etc. upstairs to one of the spare bedrooms because scrapbooking/card making has taken over my sewing room. Where it will all end I don't know, but at least it keeps me sane (reasonably) and happy.

Monthly Card Club

Thought I would post the last few cards I've made for the monthly Card Club swap at Scrapbook Fantasies. We  usually make between 15 - 18 cards with a new theme every month.

It's a good opportunity to use some of my stamps that never see the light of day.
