Farmquest Challenge blog

 

I cut up an old children's annual and this was one of the pictures. It features 2 children collecting wood in a toboggan. As the theme at Farmquest is snow sports I thought this might qualify. 

Into the Christmas card box it goes.

Counterfeit kit Challenge #1

 Our forst challenge is 10 things I love about.....................

It immediately reminds me of my daughter watching the movie "things I hate about you.". We must have watched it 50 times.

For this challenge I chose one of the countries we visited on my cruise. Costa Rica, it was magical.

I used a sticker I bought there as my starting point. The 3 circular journal cards came in handy on this.

My title went on next and I used mixed alphas. I chose my 3 photos and trimmed them to fit. I then added some puffy sticker thickers here and there. My final flourish was a branding strip along the bottom of the page.

The scraproom build a page challenge.

 

I started with brown and white spotted card for my background. I then triple matted my photo. I found a piece of music paper which already had red drips on it so used it as a layer under my photo mat.

Next, I made the banner using die cuts from my kit plus embroidery cotton.I used white brads to fasten the pieces on. I found 4 green buttons so added those next to my happy title. I also added 2 other word stickers "sweetest day" and "hello love".

This parrot and gorilla greeted us as we disembarked the ship in Costa Rica.

The scraproom throwback sketch

 This is the Throwback sketch at The scraproom.

I used it to create this layout.

I had the half page wood print so used that across the bottom plus the rainbow stripes offcut.

The other beige coloured paper was a 6X6 paper I put in my kit. I bought 2 Costa Rica stickers while I was there so used one on here instead of a second photo. There are also 2 puffy stocker bows as embellishments.

The sloths were gorgeous and fun to watch

Aerial tram double layout

 

I made a double layout today. I used leaves from my kit plus 2 parrots. There is also washi tape and a thickers word. The second background paper is from Ruby Rock-it and is called The summerhouse

2 more layouts

 Yesterday I made 2 more layouts. The first was using a sketch I found on pinterest.

This used up many of my branding strips plus buttons and flowers I put in my kit.

H=hello, happy ,hexagons E=enamel dots A= aqua R-ric rac ,rainbows T= twine This was for a challenge at The Scrap Room.

Lasting memories quote challenge

 

We are asked to use a quote on a layout at Lasting memories.

I've chosen "if nothing ever changed, there would be no butterflies"

I used lots of washi tape on this layout plus 2 different sized punched butterflies.
