Explore

Explore is another layout I made using the January Papermaze Kit, it features our cat Liquorice exploring one of the many trees in the orchard. She has an amazing playground out in the garden, orchard and the wild marsh land beyond in our new home. Plenty of trees to climb here.

Uncle Peter

This is my layout made at the October 2019 Papermaze Crop - I have only just added the final details! I'm having a New Year effort at finishing off and /or blogging some of the things I have made in recent months. This layout was designed by Vanessa.

I used this recently acquired photo of my Uncle Peter when he was a young man. This lovely masculine design was ideal to create a tribute to this lovely man who died a few weeks short of his 90th birthday in 2018.

The papers are from Fabscraps Fantasy Flight and Simple Stories Autumn Splendor. The kit contained corrugated kraft card, ric-rac, and a paper flower.  A Tim Holtz Layering Stencil, Forest Moss Distress Stain and Vintage Photo Distress Ink were available to use at the crop. I added Stickles to the butterfly wings and journalling to a spare piece of patterned paper. I fussy cut the bee from the spare paper too.

For my title I used the revers side of some of the scrap paper and the Tim Holtz Sizzix Bigz XL alphabet die - Wonderland. I also used some tiny letter stickers from my stash.

52 Christmas Crackers 2014 - Week 51

Here is my card for week 51 and this time it is a photo prompt for inspiration. A delightful Christmasy picture for the penultimate challenge!

So here is my version:

Rummaging through my Christmas stash I found these corrugated card Christmas trees from may years ago. I cut up a large doily. The paper and sentiment are left over from this year's Papermaze Layout challenge kit.
I added twine, lots of pearls and snowflake stickers.

Thanks for looking and I have the last chllenge to share with you from Monday.
