LPoCF #134 The Paper Shelter

Hello again, 

Well this all new blogger is interesting to find ones way around, perhaps I have been away from my blog a little too long... 

On to my Design Team card, this fortnight Lil Patch of Crafty Friends is sponsored by The Paper Shelter  and we each worked with Birthday Cupcake, I have used the pre-coloured digital image to make a card using brightly coloured papers from my stash. 

                                                        
Prize 3 Images


What I used:
White 12.5x 17.8cm card blank
Scraps plain orange, blue and reverse of a Bazzill basics sample
Doodlebug Designs Cotton Candy dot and Pretty Pink Stripes papers
Memory Box die Peppini Laurel (leaves)
MFT Stitched rectangle Die
Pink flowers from my box (came with the orange bling)

I hope all is well in your part of the world, here in Aus things are beginning to settle down, less community transmissions of Covid-19 means relaxing of the rules, meaning our recent near silence is returning to near norms as Sydney siders once again start exploring the regional areas, I live on the fringes, meaning for some things we are considered as part of Metropolitan Sydney others as a regional area. Over the recent long weekend celebrating the Queen's Birthday we had a street full of cars as tourists came to go out on bushwalks, how social distancing worked on the limited number of tracks open I have no idea. Some remain closed after a rock fall which killed a worker (several years ago) others are closed due to the fire and or flood damage at the beginning of the year. I wish that some of the people going out walking realise that just because they hide behind their cars between the street and the houses doesn't mean that we can't see them, we have a canyon nearby which means people get undressed and the re-dressed in wet suits, completely oblivious of the fact that we can see out our windows... it is not uncommon to find underpants left behind outside any house once they leave...  wet soggy underwear at that... 🤣

I have recently attended a craft show which was held totally online, I may have, oh alright, I did go on a shopping spree, ordering some re-inkers for my Distress Oxide pads, some stamps from Beccy's Place and other necessary items like double sided tape... Over a four day period online the various businesses ran free Facebook tutorials on everything from Sugar craft for cake making, quilting, cardmaking and scrap booking, wisely this time several of the businesses put together kits to create your own the way the samples were done, you could also choose to pay a fee to attend classes online with some of the same, with the fee allowing 30 days all access to the classes. It was a great way to spend a weekend, whilst some of the usual show businesses already had online stores others are completely new to me, I chose to shop as local as possible and I had my stamps from Queensland the very next business day. 

I would like to enter this card in:-

Well you certainly haven't lost your touch, this is a super card, the cup cake looks delicious and a super colourful background.
Daughter has been furloughed, she works for Bank West and is so pleased that she has still hit her target.
Nice to "see" you again.

Megan it's wonderful to see you here again - I have yet to brave the new blogger. I had to smile at the fact those changing forget that the locals can see through their windows!
We are up to 9 'active' cases of C 19 - and all of them people returning to NZ, and in managed isolation. No community transmission now for weeks.
Love your sweet card with the cheerful papers and accents
Stay safe
Blessings
Maxine

DELICIOUS card!
LOVE your cute cupcake, CHEERY colours and design!
Thank You for joining our Anything Goes with Team Lou challenge at the Southern Girls Challenge :)

PS - I'm in Australia too and feel your same "restrictive" frustrations, some of our freedoms were pulled back in Victoria at the weekend and things are looking grim for some suburbs too. What a small world, I was at Craft Alive too, had heaps of fun and a delightful dose of "Beccy" too, see you there next month :)

Your birthday card is sweet as pie! I am glad you got to enjoy the craft fair. We are just starting to open up where I live and I hope that what we did was enough for the Covid but I am afraid it isn’t over yet. Have a great day!

This is such a lovely card Meghan, it's so bright and cheerful and that cupcake looks good enough to eat. My granddaughter was so happy yesterday as the library had reopened and she'd got some new books.... wasn't at all interested in skypeing with Granny! xx
