One of Lochie's Creations & Another Card for the Clean & Simple FTL163 Challenge

I was most impressed with this creation, because art  is Lochie's least favourite subject.

Pretty good for a non-arty 11 year old boy!

Now here is another card for the FTL163 sketch challenge from Clean & Simple

This is using Basic Grey and Kaisercraft paper  and Pink Petticoat sentiment.

Playdate Cafe Challenge & Mojo Monday sketch Challenge

*

Back to cardmaking after an exciting Melbourne Cup?
I made this for the Playdate Cafe Colour challenge and tied it in with a sketch from Mojo Monday:-



The card is Bazill and Stampin up. The gorgeous paper is old stash from S.e.i. 'Morning Meadow' and new MME 'Lost & Found. The Lace is vintage from my Mum's stash and the Ribbon is from Stampin up. The stamps are from the Hero Arts/Sizzix set and I also used a nestibility for scallop circle, circle and scalloped rectangle.The pearls are from Kaisercraft and the butterfly charm is from my old stash.



Shadow Box

I made this shadow box for a gift for a friend and thought I might enter it in a challenge.

I will enter this in the Simon Says Stamps angthing goes challenge.

The paper is from Abi's Craft kimino/fans.

clean and simple FLT163 sketch challenge

I made this for the clean & Simple Challenge.

The embelishmets are from my local craft store. The card is Canson and I don't remember where the paper is from. The sentiment is from Pink Petticoat and I used a Kaisercraft background stamp on the card and them used perfect pearls for a bit of shimmer, that doesn't show in the photo. The gems are also Kaisercraft.

I machine stiched on the patterned paper and used distress ink.

More Cards!

This is the card I made for my Dad for Father's Day - he always enjoys getting my cards.

Craft & Sewing Show Melbourne

I went to the Craft & Sewing Show yesterday. It was a bit disappointing, because I usually like to learn a knew technique or do make & takes so that it's not just a shopping expedition. I really wanted to do the Quilted Japanese Kimono Style Wallet by  Patchwork Mariko Japan, but you couldn't pre-book and all the classes were full. So what can a girl do, I had to check out all the yummy new products and specials!

The good news is the lovely demonstrator at Mariko Japan told me he could come to my place to do a class if I got 5 or more people together. He would charge for the kit plus a little extra - sounds like a great idea. If anyone lives near Brighton, Melb and is interested, leave me a comment.

Melbourne puts on a beautiful sunny day for Queen Elizabeth!
