Kaisercraft Sketch #3 May 2014 - Dining Out Together

DINING OUT TOGETHER
Mark and I went to a family friendly seafood restaurant. We both had the fresh fish, mine grilled and Mark's was battered. Huge meals with chips and salad as well. Couldn't finish it all but it was delicious.















Here is the sketch:

I have flipped it on its side to accommodate my landscape oriented photos.

Celebrate - a fun party layout

I have dipped into my old Creative Memories stash today and used some Mod papers and a sticker.

Doesn't my good friend Lorraine look smashing in her purple outfit?

I'm entering this layout into Papercrafter's Corner Week 50 magazine Monday challenge which can be found here. The cover looks like this:


The party Lorraine is at is my hubby's 50th birthday. I think her outfit matches the swirls in the main coloured 50 in the centre of the mag perfectly.

Bath? No thanks.

ANNA'S CRAFT CUPBOARD
May sketch

My entry

The sketch


I went with a cream and pink colour scheme. I used my CM CCS circles. I've used one piece of paper. The piece I have journalled on is the piece I've cut from the inside of the circle framing the photo. Happily it had lines and I wanted to do a lot of storytelling.
Thanks for looking.

50th birthday card

Here is week 50's magazine cover challenge at Papercrafter's Corner.



I'd like to enter the following card on behalf of my 13yo son Mark. He made this for his Dad. I think it's pretty good.

Street Art for Studio Calico #NSD5

 I hope you all had time to create on the weekend. It was National Scrapbooking Day here in Australia on Saturday and the Northern hemisphere yesterday. I managed to create one page in my very hectic weekend.
Yesterday I made this page for one of the Studio Calico challenges, NSD5, which had a few sketches. I chose the first one, which you can see below.
I saw this amazing artist at work on a wall in Fremantle last year. It was so intricate. He would step back and stare for a while and then walk forward and do a bit more.
Amazing.

A vintagey layout for Archi-scraps this month

ARCHISCRAPS - May challenge

This is May's challenge inspiration picture, plus you must use mists.

I chose a row of chipboard houses by Dusty Attic and painted them. I misted on the white cardstock background with two Mr Huey's inks on a 6x6 Prima template. 

Have you been to Sovereign Hill in Ballarat, Victoria? The photo was taken there. The colours were right and it had little pointy roofed buildings in it. I took it in the morning and the sky was all misty.

Hope you can join in with this challenge. Just add your entry to the InLinkz at Archi-scraps.
