Thredbo

Here is the LO that I have used as a DT example for this months challenge over on The Cupboard Trilogy blog.

The challenge this month is called "Lead by Example" I would be thrilled if you could visit the blog & bowled over if you would join in, there is a lovely patterned paper pad up for grabs this month.

All you have to do is look through the Design Team examples, then choose one to use as your inspiration. You can unashameably copy it, be inspired by how it is designed, or it's colour combo. Then link to the blog & tell us who's design you used as inspiration ... Easy right?

The photographs in this LO were taken in 2000 when I went to Australia the 1st time, they are called Threadbo Mountains & the only place in Australia where you can ever see snow. The mountains are also the start of the irrigation system that NSW uses to be able to grow crops. 

The papers are by Rusty Pickle & I think they are called French Market, that big snowflake I made myself by tracing around a huge brad on to a piece of chipboard, I cut it out & used some tiny files to file away at the edges, then painted it & added some pen lines.

The rub on snowflakes & the title are placed on acetate as an overlay, which in real life looks quite dimensional & helps bring the somewhat boring photos to life.

Simple Card.....

I made this card to post to a lady in The Cupboard Trilogy, The Craft Cupboard Show & Tell group

I have used papers from my stash box, so don't remember the makes. The green check paper I die cut & prefered to use the negative, allowing the pretty embossed paper behind to show through. The stamps are Magnolia's -singing Tilda & the musical notes stamp was in one of my recent Scrapagogo kits. I then simply added ribbon, flowers - rose was from my own stash the calla lillies were purchased from Wild Orchids Craft & some stickles glue!

Happy Valentines Day ...

I am off out babysitting later so my son & daughter in law can go out for a meal, so my other half will be spending the evening with the dog... I hope that you all have fun whatever you do to cellabrate Valentines day.

I have a Valentines Challenge over on The Cupboard Trilogy blog. It runs from today through to 1st March, there is a Craft Stamper magazine embroidered apron up for grabs for the lucky winner. You also have 2 chances to win, but you have to enter with 2 different Cards, Scrapbook LOs or 3D projects to get both.

There is a clause though, your entries MUST include the image of the freebie stamp that was attached to the February edition of the Craft Stamper magazine.

The reason that I have chosen to use that particular stamp is because it was designed by Sarah Lawrence, the owner of Crafty Notions, who sadly & suddenly passed away in December 2011. So this challenge is a tribute to her.

The challenge will be judged by Katy Fox ~ Editor of the Craft Stamper & Scrap365 magazines ...

I hope that you will all try to join in with this fun challenge! 
You can find The Cupboard Trilogy blog HERE

Take care
