My quilling got "exported"

Ok so I am not in the business of making goodies to export but if family ask for it and someone is going overseas, then why the heck not! This is what happened two weeks ago.

Keith is currently in Canada visiting his family there and his sister requested a few goodies..... so I quickly made them, packaged them and packed them into his suitcase before he left last Thursday.

She wants to hang these on her Christmas tree. That's fairly easy to do with a needle and thread... just feed it through one of the ears and tie a knot.

Don't forget to visit my facebook page if you want to keep up to date with all my quilling creations.

Sketch n Scrap - August monthly challenge

It's time to share with you my layout for our challenges on facebook this month:

Besides making a layout based on the sketch provided, my challenge to you is to use woodgrain on your layout. I used it as part of my background papers.

Join us in our facebook group for this and lots of other challenges this month.

IQCG - Aug2019 - Indian

Today is the DT reveal day for this month's theme challenge at Indian Quilling Challenge (#IQCG61). It's all about everything Indian  ... and boy was I stumped!!!

I google and then discovered that the national bird of India is the peacock. This is a truly beautiful bird so I took it as my inspiration for my creation. As I had made a peacock years ago I decided this time to only make a feather. But then my creative juices ran out of oomph and I was stumped again. So finally after much dithering I decided to take the feather idea and make a mandala out of it... just a simple little creation with lots of inspiration behind it.

Visit the blog to see what the rest of the team have created and be inspired to play along. Link your creation to the post about the challenge.

Sketch n Scrap - August card

Here is my card for this month's sketch:

I was inspired by the rings on the sketch and thought of coffee stains, so pulled out some coffee flavoured papers and my stamps. Just a quick card for any occasion.

Come play with us on the blog and facebook and see what else the design team has created.

Stick It Down - Double layout - Aug 2019

It's time to share my layout for the new double page sketch for this month:

This is the fabulous sketch we worked with. I really liked all the different bits and pieces which can be papers or photos. I used the birthday range from LA Paper to create my layout.

Be sure to check out the blog for lots more inspiration.

Let's Scrap Sketches - 1 Aug

It's a brand new month and hopefully I will get some scrapping done this month (physical and digi!). With the month of July being part of the northern hemisphere's summer things getrather busy over there and so the second sketch for last month got a little missed in all the fun. So this month there will actually be three sketches to play with.

First up is my layout using the July 15th sketch:

I just used the right side of the sketch to make a single layout. Used some pretty Kaisercraft papers with lots of fussy cutting as well as a cutfile for my title.

You can see what the DT did on this post.

An now on to my layout for the first August sketch:

I chose to document a month's worth of photos on this page... it was all about my #CoffeeWithCathy #100Days challenge back in 2016. I used the EchoPark range all about coffee... soooooooo perfect for these pics. I was really great to use all the different papers as well as the stickers.

Visit the blog for lots more inspiration.

Remember that both these sketches will run for the month of August so get scrapping.

Pixel Scrapper Summer Layout Madness

I am taking quite a plunge into digi scrapping... I spent part of this month organising my digit stash, and even adding to it! I think I have more digi stash than I ever had in the paper stash.

Anyways I took part in the Pixel Scrapper Summer Layout Madness during July. I only thought I'd do about 5 layouts and ended up doing 9. Super thrilled with myself.

I have been playing with the app PixelLab to do a lot of these pages... it's great to be able to scrap on the go so to speak. Hope to keep at it and do lots more in the coming months.

Simply Project Life - Christmas in July

This group on facebook is hosted daily challenges in July to celebrate Christmas. I decided to dive in an take part. Instead of the usual 12x12 pages, this time I decided that I would make 6x8 size pages for these challenges and possibly print them into a mini-album (or not!).. they are just fun to do. Here's what I've managed to do:

1- Tree

2 - Lights

3 - Treats

4 - Clothes

5 - Tradition

6 - Santa

7 - Making a List

8 - weather

9 - family time

10 - Food

11 - Christmas Eve

12 - Celebrations

This was a really great way to remember all sorts of things about Christmas over the years.

#SPLChristmasInJuly2019

UnstampaBellas: July2019

Here is my project for this month's theme at UnstampaBelles:

This month's challenge is: Stunning Stencil Play
The twist to the challenge is: It Pays to Spray

I used two different stencils to create my background... the sun rays one I had to flip to make a full half-circle of the sun going down. Then I used a wood grain stencil for the grass. My rhino I cut out on my Curio machine and then spent a few evenings making lots and lots of little coils to stick all over him.

Remember to link you entry to the challenge post. See more great inspiration from the team on the blog.

Sketch n Scrap - July monthly challenge

Hope you've taking the time to join our monthly challenge group on facebook... here is my card challenge for today:
