#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.

LPoCF #230 All Dressed Up

 Hello again,

Our Autumn weather has hit, and the trees are rapidly losing their leaves, about 50y ago the local council encouraged homeowners to purchase Autumn trees from them, they even decided how many trees each house got, different streets have different trees, we have three flowering cherry trees outside our house, the leaves are currently a vibrant orange. 

Today brings us to another all-new challenge with my team mates over at Lil Patch of Crafty Friends, this fortnight we are sponsored by All Dressed Up, who kindly gave us two images to work with. I have used 'Daisy'.

Here is my card:-


I have used a Sketch from Try a Sketch on Tuesday, although I maybe too late to join in as it finishes today.... I also joined in with the Double Trouble Paper crafting choosing to use some non-matching papers from my stash to make my card, I did however find a suitable matching scrap in my sorted by colour scrap bags as the frame layer, came from the same set as the wavy paper pack 'Francheville' bought from a discount store many years ago... the floral paper is a mystery, but I am guessing as it had a second paper printed on the reverse it may be from a magazine freebie paper pack... I have added a branch and bird die cut from scraps and using some non-branded dies.
