I've Been Everywhere Man...

Hello again,

Well I’m back with another male birthday card, I made this one for my Dad who bought an old mini school bus several years ago and converted it into a caravan for him and Mum to go away in, I have used a digi image I won from Beccy’s Place and I paper pieced the caravan in layers, adding a thin layer of PVA glue to give the outside a bit of a shine, I did it on purpose (not) another accident with too much glue and it spreading everywhere even after applying it carefully with tiny toothpicks.

No there aren't any places around the harbour that you can pull up and make camp, although it doesn't stop some people.... mini vans often hired by back packers park in car parks near our beaches and sleep the night there... no facilities a take away dinner or cook dinner on a park barbecue to enjoy the views.

Here is my card:-

What I used:-

White card blank 5x7” 12.6x17.8cm

Ultimate Crafts Sights of Sydney dies

Beccy’s Place Road Trip Image

Merci Papers (Big W in Aus.)

Kaisercraft Sandy Toes Paper

Grey, Sandstone and Metallic cream paper from scrap box

Various scrap papers to piece the Caravan

Black fine line pen

MFT Sentiment stamp curved to line up with the Harbour Bridge

Sprinkled Sugar stickles

Double sided tape, PVA Glue, foam dots

Bugaboo Christmas in July

Hello again,

Long time no see, I managed to pick up a lurgy last time I was in Sydney and haven't really gotten on to the computer as much as normal, but I have made a few cards between my last post in June and the newest Design Team challenge which I will add over the next few weeks as the cards are received.

Bugaboo Stamps is having their 7th Annual Christmas in July Challenge this week and as I haven't made any Christmas cards since May it has given me a nudge to join in again this year... I'm running a bit behind at the minute and will have several posts one after the other in an effort to catch up...

Challenge for Day one of Bugaboo's Christmas in July

I have used a double sided piece of paper and used both sides, something I rarely do, to make this card which will likely head for my cousin and her two young girls. With the featured image from Bugaboo called Christmas Troll 

Here is my card:-

What I used:-
White 5x7" card blank (17.8x 12.6cm)
Christmas Troll Image from Bugaboo
Green card stock
Magazine Freebie paper
White cardstock for printing
CCD Cross-Stitched Semi-circle
MFT Pierced Fishtail flags
Tree brad
Glitzee Lemon-Lime Glitter glue
Peppermint lollies cut from design paper scrap
