Day 94 - Card from sketch

My son turns 15 on Tuesday. I sneakily made this card in the room right next door to him. He was glued to the TV watching the Eagles play. I have made an insert for the card. It is a voucher to spend on new cricket pads. We wanted him to choose them.  I think this will make a nice surprise for him.

This card is for Day 94 at 365 Cards. The challenge is to use the sketch below.

From Screen 2 Scrap double pager

Hi everyone.

The winners for Memento are up already. Did you have a go? There are lots of winners.

Here is my Design Team example for June's challenge at From Screen 2 Scrap. It's a really fun one. Hope you will join in.

I have chosen some really colourful papers. I've added lots of paint and I made a border around 3 edges with a purple metallic pen. I had a lot of fun creating these pages and am pleased with how it came out.

The movie poster we have this month as our inspiration is Hairspray.

Extra criteria

1 point – multicolours

2 points – hair related photos

3 points – 10 squares

I hope that you choose to have a go at this month's challenge. If you do and you've been inspired to try it for the time time by me, please let Shazza know. Thanks and enjoy.

Turkish Delight is yummy

The Lollipop Ladies Challenge # 46 is Turkish Delight plus squares. You have to make a card. I needed to make my Mum a card today so I decided to theme it to suit this challenge. I also ate a Turkish Delight today so it was already on my mind. I reallllllly love them. The image of the lady and the teapot are from a Grace Taylor Vintage paper pad which I have fussy cut. I also stamped the Mother image, fussy cut and coloured it.

2 birthday cards

The Day 84 challenge at 365 Cards is : Today's challenge is to create a Clean & Simple card using only 1/3 of the space provided.  The card size and theme are entirely up to you.


I've actually done two cards as I liked the design so well.

Clothes Swap - layout for Mad About Scrappin

Mad About Scrappin's May sketch challenge was spotted by me on Facebook.  Here's my take on it. I had to flip it to suit my photos. The sketch is shown below. I've used mostly Kaisercraft, with some Cosmo Cricket as well.

 About twice a year I get my girlfriends to go through their closets and have a sort out. They come over and bring their clothes and shoes they no longer want and we each go through and see if there's anything we want to keep.  Whatever is left over I take down to a local charity. There are usually 8 or 9 bags of goods left over. Everyone enjoys having a get together as well as the chance to gain something "new" for their wardrobe.

SNR publication

I have 2 layouts and 1 card published in today's release of Scrapbooking News and Review magazine.

The card is in the doily section and it's called "Have your cake and eat it too".

One layout is called Purple and is in the What I Wear section.

The other layout is called My Eyes Adore You and is in the Blue section.

If you have a subscription have a browse through. There is always lots of great inspiration in there.

Treasury

I've created this layout of the U.S. Treasury Building in Washington D.C. I worked for the Western Australian Treasury Department for 5 years. It was one of my first jobs and I made some great friends there. This building is rather more impressive than the one I used to work in.

I really wanted to have a $ sign as my S in the title. I just used a slash and put it over the top of an S. No company seems to make a $ sign. I've used red, white and blue of course and added in some craft to make the wall plaque, which looks like copper to me, stand out.

This layout has been entered into the Guest DT's challenge at Soul Scrappers this month, which was set by Natalie Elphinstone. She made it real easy for me. All I had to do was hand journal. As I do that on every single layout I chose to do a page in my Washington travel album. This may be almost the last page in that album, so that is a happy thing.
