LPoCF# 282 Polkadoodles- Sweet Gnomie

 

Hello again,

We are enjoying a few warm winters days, as long as we can find a place out of the wind. Last night was 3C but the wind chill made it feel like -8C. The washing is getting dried out on the washing line, it is just a bit cold. Someone locally managed to photograph Black Swans at the local lake, which must have migrated from somewhere else in Australia, as they are not commonly seen here.

On to my card, today brings us to an all new Anything Goes Challenge with my team mates at Lil Patch of Crafty Friends, this fortnight we are being sponsored by Polkadoodles, I have used Sweet Gnomie Bee Buzzy to make a box card. I coloured this one during my hospital stay last year.

 Hello again,

Today marks the Winter Solstice, my nearest big town had a crazy event yesterday called 'Winter Magic' the main street gets closed off to all (but emergency services) and up to 50,000 people crowd in to see local buskers, actors, musicians, and artists take over every store window, a street parade and creative stalls. Locals and visitors are encouraged to dress-up, children dress-up as favourite characters, adults dress up however they like movie characters, steam punk, fairies, butterflies, old fashions, I once saw a group dressed to represent 1920's wandering the street together, quite a commitment on the shortest day of the year, ladies in sleeveless dresses. This year the oldest hotel held a gala ball with the theme of Medieval. 

Now also marks the start of 'Yulefest' season, where many of the large hotels and restaurants in the area play host to traditional northern hemisphere Christmas with all the trimmings, if we are lucky we sometimes get a scattering of snow.

On to my card, today sees the beginning of another all-new challenge with my team mates at Lil Patch of Crafty Friends, this fortnight we are sponsored by Pattie's Creations who kindly allowed us to choose an image each. I have used a set called 'Holiday Cupcakes' to make my card.

We are still on the lookout for some new Design Team members, if you would like to join our team Kelly has more information here.

#278 LPoCF SheepSki Designs

 Hello again,

We are still waiting for all the autumn leaves to fall, our trees are about half done, I watched multiple people last week stop, hold up their phones and I guess they record a short video. I was far more interested in the large group of Gang-Gang Cockatoo, I usually hear these long before I spot them, they sound like a rusty hinge creaking and have only ever seen them in small groups of four or five, this week I counted 19 all at once, flying in to eat gumnuts on the local Eucalypts. As usual with Aussie birds the male is more brightly coloured than the female. He has a distinct red head; the female and juvenile birds are plain black to grey.

Today brings us to a new Anything Goes Challenge with my team mates at Lil Patch of Crafty Friends, this challenge is sponsored by SheepSki Designs who kindly gave our team 2 images to work with, I have used Coffee and Cake #173 opting for the cake only for a birthday card. We are still on the lookout for some new members of the design team, if you would like to join us you can find out more information here.
