My results from the June Cyber Crop at Home and Scrapped

Karen challenged us at the June CC to create a monochromatic layout to include:-
6 or more layers - big, small, dog eared, grunged, pristine, inked....possibilities are endless
1 large photo - sepia, coloured, black & white
a large embelly swag - if not flowers then trains, cogs or what ever tickles your fancy
and the usual requirements - Title and Journaling tag

 
 
My layout ended up with 9 layers, cogs and stars embellishment grouping, a large photo with title and journaling tag. An old photo of the boys together in 2008.
 
Heather provided us with a Step-by-step challenge on the Saturday morning so I found this old dance photo of me and worked with the colour purple - the colour I hate the most because I grew up in a purple bedroom with purple carpet, purple bedspreads, purple curtains, lavendar sheets from time to time and it was just too much for my liking. Unfortunately for me it was my Sister's favourite colour so I just had to put up with it. I used lots of papers scraps for this and I actually like the way it turned out. 

 
There was also a challenge to make some cards with scraps from your layouts so here is what I came up with.
 


 

Thanks for looking and Happy craftin'..............

Gosh Christmas is creeping up fast

I'm not real good at this blogging stuff, am I? I have really neglected it lately. We spent a lovely ten days in Cairns in the beginning of November which I am sure you will see in the layouts that I will be creating over the coming months and indeed in the last couple of Cybercrops. We stayed at Holloways Beach which is approx 10kms north of Cairns city and the beach is not like our South Aussie beaches where we have the soft hard packed sand, it was grainy and moved a lot under foot. In Cairns itself you cannot swim at the beach as the city has a more swampy beachfront which is muddy and tacky with lots of crabs. At this time of the year also, the waters are full of stingers so it is dangerous to swim in the sea unless in an enclosed netted off area for protection. Holloways beach had a small area to do this and the boys liked it but the current was strong and wavy and no sooner would they stand up than wave would come and dump them under again. It became a little much for them a

My Christmas cards with North Pole papers.....

Image
Last Christmas season I bought the Kaisercraft North Pole 6.5" x 6.5" paper pad as I really loved the colours of the papers. Of course I really didn't get a chance to use them much  because I had already made my cards earlier in the year so have been putting them to use in recent weeks for my cards for this Christmas Season. Inspired by Pinterest above.    A sketch from Paper Wishes for World Card Making Day was used for above and below.  Above is another Paper Wishes sketch for World Card Making Day and below is OWH sketch #236. Another Pinterest inspired card using a lace stamp from Kaisercraft - Oh so lovely set.   More Christmas cards for my own use made with Kaisercraft North Pole papers. #wcmd2015 @sctmagazine - Challenge #3 sketch challenge Mojo Monday sketch #334 And last but not least another sketch that I can't find the details for. Thanks for dropping by again, Happy Craftin'...........

The last of the scraps.....

Image
The last of the glossy magazine scraps with toppers and extra bits. These went to Combat Cards SA just before the close off of Christmas cards.   Stamps are from a Clear Impressions set with Creative Stamping magazine. Die-cut is from Stampin' Up.     These are based on some sketches but it has been a while and I can't remember which ones they were so I  won't be able to share that this time around. Thanks for dropping by ......
