June challenges... and it's still in June!

I have had a lovely lady order some cards from me so have been working on these slowly but surely for her. Many are duplicates in some way of what she has seen on my blog as I suggested she look through my blog and choose what she liked so I could get a feel for her preferences. 
Here are some I have done so far:






These are a batch of 3" x 4" gift cards that are similar to the ones I made slightly larger last year.






A couple of men's cards using Kaisercraft Rewind papers from the 6" x 6" pad which I am almost out of now. These were great papers for masculine cards. 

 And finally the beginning of her request for 10 Christmas cards in red and white.

 Over to the June challenges at Home and Scrapped..... This is the challenge from Heather to scrap someone close to you, and finish these two sentences for your journaling, in any way that is right for you: 
Every time I think of you ..... (I smile perhaps, or I feel faint with desire, haha)
Your smile is .... (gruesome, beguiling, absent these days, luscious, my favourite thing)
You can add a third sentence too if you like. 
We also had to include something given by a friend somewhere on our page - a swap or a gift maybe.

 This is what I came up with and used a sketch by Heather over at Scrappy sketches for my design.

Last of all is the Recipe challenge from Heather to cook up a pretty page. 
Ingredients
1 photo
4 small pieces of paper
1 piece of journaling paper/card
2 strips of paper/washi/ribbon 
a thimble full of glimmer mist/glitter/ink or paint
a sprinkle of punched shapes
a dash of bling
1 medium sized embellishment group
1 title in two sizes of lettering
Method
Well now... all cooks have their own way of doing things, but you will need a good sheet of cardstock as a base before you begin, then just let it all come together with a bit of a whisk and gentle stirring. Roll out carefully, allow to stand for a day or a month, whichever suits you best, bake until crisp and serve 

I think I managed to cover all the criteria in the end and ended up with a lovely page even if I did end up with Glim Glam all over my page, my craft sheet, my table and my Silhouette.

Thanks for stoppin' by. Have a lovely weekend.

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 ......
