LPoCF #146 Bugaboo Stamps

 Hello again, 

Today brings us to another Anything goes Challenge with my team mates at Lil Patch of Crafty Friends, this fortnight we are sponsored by Bugaboo Stamps who have kindly given us images to work with, I have used an older image called Bobble-headed Elf to make a Christmas card. I managed to make so many cards last year that I think I've only needed to make 20 all year to top my stash up. 

This week I started with a new physio, I read the Welcome email with a mild chuckle, at the first appointment they said they will devise a plan for how many appointments I will need. Physio is 8th in 7 years of ongoing treatment... he didn't offer any plans just yet other than 5 appointments in rapid sequence, this is to be weekly for the next 5 weeks, then see where things are. On a happier note  I've waited 6 months to get a new bird, a new baby budgie came home with us after my appointment, he is called Rolly, he is quite an acrobat and yes he likes rolling between his legs, he's also the first bird I've ever had that chooses to sleep on the floor under his seed container, I think he still wants to be in a nest like environment.... he kindly alerted me just after I'd settled down to go to sleep that the other budgie who has had a stroke had fallen off his perch by loudly screeching until he'd been put back on his perch.... 

Bugaboo Stamps 

Prize 4 Images of winners choice

Here is my card:

C7 card blank
Derwent coloured pencils
Clear and red glitter glue Kindyglitz (Aussie version of stickles)
Kaisercraft Christmas die
Iridescent stickers (there are three that fit perfectly over the larger spots on the upper panel too)
Scrap papers from Doodlebug 'north pole' paper pad (it's almost all gone!)

Easter gift bags

Hello again,

I hope you all have had a wonderful Easter long weekend, indulged in some Hot Cross Buns and some delicious eggs or bunnies.... strangely I didn't miss the eggs but the smell of the hot cross buns was great, still sticking to my AIP and low histamine diet so my treats were coconut butter melted down and made into chick and Easter egg shapes with the help of a silicone mould.

Apologies for not being around much, or commenting often the last few weeks, I've been unwell with my pain issues and spent time digging in the family tree, helping Mum sort some of the families out that I have progressed with at a faster pace than she could keep up.... and Mum helping me with people she has been working on that I haven't done yet.

I made two bags for Mum and Dad who of course can eat both chocolate and hot cross buns. Filled with a few eggs and a bunny for each, the heat started to have an effect of the consistency of the eggs and some ended up in the fridge.

Here are the two bags:-

What I used:-
White and kraft paper bags
Pink and blue card and paper scraps
Checked paper from stash
Pastel Basics paper
Derwent and Faber-Castell pencils
Bugaboo image Easter egg basket
Freebie Bunny stamp from Magazine website (not sure if still available)
Clearly Besotted sentiment
Hero Arts Happy die
Lawn Fawn Riley's alphabet
Pink bow from stash
Flowers from stash
Mini Apron lace border die from China (a Highly addictive and cheap supplies for craft) 😉
Cross stitched oval die from China
MFT grass die

Hoppy Easter

Hello again,

Hope all is well, some wild weather around just now, winter seems to have been biting back in the UK and States and we have been having a rather hot and steamy reminder of summer as the days get shorter and the leaves begin to change, yesterday was shorts and singlets weather and today is half the temperature of yesterday and warm woolies on, including a hot H2O bottle- although that's just because my back is sore.

I'm sharing a card I made to send to my niece along with a bag of Jelly Belly Jelly beans, as the last time we sent Easter Eggs they ended up thick flat lumps of chocolate after melting in the heat. One down two more to go, although they are more likely to be gift bags for my parents.

Here is my card:-

What I used:-
White 5" x 7" card blank
Bright pink card stock DCWV
Crafters choice pastel basics
Scrap of check paper
Funky Fuchsia spray ink painted on frame
Bugaboo Stamps Free portrait make it snappy digi (can't find it in store)

Cheeky Christmas

Hello again,

Well, I was busy, busy, busy last week making multiple Christmas cards including two cards with tongue most firmly in cheek. The first card I had an idea for a certain stroppy teen boy who lives next door, I saved one of my Aussie Santa images that I coloured and paper pieced the clothes and planned a graffiti look card with a bold sentiment heat embossed in white powder, a few smaller Christmas sentiments also heat embossed in red and black with a few tiny stamps added in for effect. unfortunately some of the tiny star stamps are hard to see, perhaps I should have used a different colour, but yellow did seem a good choice. The young lad was often caught hanging around at a local street art walk, not my cup of tea but bus loads of tourists seem to like it

My second card is for one of my Mum's kindy friends, who loves a good cheeky card, it features one of Bugaboo Stamps called Friends Don't Let Friends Wine alone 2, and a sentiment I have seen elsewhere which I typed up in two parts, the front has I'm dreaming of a White Christmas... and the inside has but if the white runs out I'll drink the red.

Here the first card:-

What I used:- Aussie Santa
White 5x7" card blank 12.6x17.8cm
White and black cardstock
Kaisercraft 'Basecoats' papers
Make It Crafty Aussie Santa Digi Stamp
