February card sketch challenge

This is the card I made for the February sketch challenge at Scrapbook Fantasies.

Dream

I used a kit that I bought last year. The stamp is a Hanglar and is coloured with copics. Unfortunately I forgot to note the colours I used. I just love these stamps, they're so cute.
Other entries can be viewed in the Scrapbook Fantasies gallery here.

Layout sketch challenge

I've just finished my interpretation of Alicia's February layout sketch challenge. It's due midnight tonight so I'm on the last minute as usual. Here's a photo of my page about my gorgeous great grandson, Zachary. You can also view the other participants here in S,F. gallery.

New Shirt

I did a copic class on Saturday at Scrapbook Fantasies, which was very interesting and covered several different techniques. It's a bit hard to switch your mind from normal hair colour to purple hair but it's great practice for colouring Sweet Pea stamps. Have a look here on Alicia's blog.

Set up my eCraft and had a little play with it on Sunday. I think I'm gradually working out my pressure settings so there were no major dramas. These are my background papers with the carrier cardstock sheet behind. It seems to cut better that way without the need for tabs.

I had s lovely time today doing a workshop at Scrapbook Fantasies. It's a shabby chic/vintage style wall hanger, and I love it!



These are a couple of snaps of parts of my hanger. It looks much better in the flesh. Alicia's finished class project is in the shop.If you get the chance pop in and see it.

January Card Sketch Challenge

Just a quick entry this time as I'm off to Brisbane for a week and wanted to have it done before I left.
I'm looking forward to a week in the air conditioning with no housework to worry about.

Little Bird

The photo is a bit washed out, the ribbon is a very bright lime green. It's a very simple card with no colouring but I really like the bright colours.

Scraobook layout and Free Block Frenzy

I haven't posted for a while but I have been busy with my crafting, including monthly Saturday card club at Scrapbook Fantasies (16 themed cards to make for swapping), working on my sketch challenges and my Janome block no, 7.

This is my interpretation of Alicia's January layout sketch challenge.


January layout sketch challenge.

I never tire of scrapping pages about great grandson Zachary. Although he's a bundle of energy and a bit of a devil at times, he's just so cute it's hard to keep a straight face sometimes.

This is block no. 7 in the Janome Free Block Frenzy.

Janome block no. 7

Block 8 is almost finished, and the next session is our last. It will conclude with block 9. and the borders and sashing kit. We saw the finished product at our last session and it's gorgeous. Since it's set on point I'm not sure how long it will take me to finish. Just have to keep plugging away.

Oops

I forgot to add my black bits to my Challenge #51 layout- Double page, use red, green, white & black but not Christmas themed.


I think that looks better.
