LPoCF #184 Fred She Said

 Hello all,

I finally had to give in and get a new pc it works so much better than the 12yo one it has replaced but with new comes more issues, I have been blaming the old pc for shadows in the corner of my screen, turns out to be the screen with the problem although it will work for the time being, also my old printer is not compatible with the new pc, so new printer to come too.... it is also 12yo so really should be glad it has worked for so long, I will be plugging old pc in as needed to use printer until current inks run out so that I can continue my blog and design team commitments....

Today brings us to an all new Anything goes challenge with my team mates over at Lil Patch of Crafty Friends, apologies for the photo being dark, I can only think it is caused by the winter sun this week sees the Australian Winter Solstice. I have used two coloured images from our sponsor to make two male birthday cards, for a change I won't be madly making two cards for my Dad and Uncle who have birthdays the same week.

LPoCF Christmas in July

 Hello all,

We are expecting Snow here today! A real Christmas in July or Yulefest here in the mountains outside Sydney... We are also entering our fourth week of lockdown due to the Delta variant getting out of hotel quarantine, only one person is allowed out to go to the supermarket each day... masks are mandatory except for whilst exercising and at home.... so the local tour operators won't be celebrating Yulefest for the second year running...

Today brings us to an all new challenge with my team mates over at Lil Patch of Crafty Friends and we are celebrating Christmas in July. I have used an image called Kitty and the Ornament from our sponsor Fred She Said who kindly gave the DT Five images to work with, our second sponsor is Fabrika Fantasy

Hello again, 

Well I thought I'd never get this card done in time for the challenge, freezing cold weather, mist bound, poor light for photography, multiple mistakes that ended up in the WPB. My sentiment panel is a little skewed but not so badly that I tossed the lot... this card is decidedly clean and simple for me.

Today brings us to a month long challenge with the lovely ladies over at Crafting By Designs this month we have been sponsored by Fred She Said Designs and I chose to work with the pre coloured set Magnolias, to make a birthday card for one of our family history friends who loves her garden.

LPoCF #66 Fred She Said

Hello again,

Don’t forget to stop by my team mates blogs to check out some more fabulous inspiration.

I am using an image from our sponsor, Fred She Said called Smelling the Cherry Blossoms  I printed her out on regular A4 paper and cardstock and paper pieced her kimono using both plain and patterned Japanese rice papers placed over the image printed on A4 and reprinted on both the plain and patterned papers and selectively coloured the two images printed on to cardstock, layering the finished little girl onto the background, then cut out all the little cherry blossoms falling and layered them on too. 

I covered a white card blank with black paper and cut four rectangles of patterned Japanese rice paper from my stash, ensuring to adhere them on the card to maintain the papers pattern.

Finished the card off with a basic sentiment from Darkroom Door and added some doodled stitching around the edge and some silver rhinestones in each corner. This card has already made its way to the recipient who loves all things Japanese.

Here is my card:-

What I used:-

White 12.6 x 17.8cm card blank (5x7”)
