LPoCF Fabrika Fantasy Halloween

 Hello again, 

Spring has sprung here in Australia, our fruiting trees are in flower with plenty of bees buzzing around, fresh green leaf buds are twinkling in the sunlight. I have had a few cards to make this last week, I should really be making them in advance, the post was a month and half late arriving at Easter and is probably even slower now as we have alternate delivery days, 3 days one week and 2 the next.... 

Today brings us to a new Challenge over with my team mates at Lil Patch of Crafty Friends, we are sponsored by Fabrika Fantasy this fortnight who are giving the winner of the challenge three Images as the Prize. I have used a digi stamp called Little Witch to make a gift tag, I may give it to a friend who has requested a special card for Halloween (not a huge holiday in Aus, but becoming more popular) 

Fabrika Fantasy

Prize 3 Digi Stamps

Here is my gift tag:-

Derwent Coloured pencils and a silver gel ink pen
Doodlebug Design 'Star Bright' dp

LPoCF August Challenge

 Hello again, 

Well, we are hoping to avoid a second wave of Covid-19 here in NSW, we are still choosing to stay close to home, so still no little feathered friend for my lonely budgie. I started making face masks this week for our family and used pipe cleaners for the nose pieces, large scraps of quilting fabric for the inner and outer layers, they will all need a good wash, the fabric has been in storage for a few years and of all things the barrier layer is a pillow protector which is made from the same fabric as the government suggested re-usable shopping bag... I can breathe and not fog up my glasses, so a few more are in the works... need to sort out sizes, some need to be bigger others smaller....

Today brings us to an all new Anything goes Challenge over at Lil Patch of Crafty Friends, I have made two cards one of which is in the post... both for Family History Friends one who loves Autumnal Colours and the other for a Cool Climate garden lover... using Corner Roses Pre-Coloured from our Sponsor Fred She Said

Is anyone else finding issues with this new blogger, I have had to change several settings to get it to looks as a normal page, I kept getting big gaps after hitting enter to start a new line. Could they not have it set up like other programs... finding the same settings in similar spots... I had to highlight and play with it until I got it to look 'normal'... 

Thank you for looking in...
I hope you are all staying safe and well and following all the various health advice...
Have a wonderful week...

We have happily had some rain here in the mountains which have dampened down the bush, however the closest fires are continuing to burn deep in the valley, thankfully away from homes, today we have high winds and a dust storm coming through from drought ravaged farm areas further west. The bird I rescued in the backyard sadly died, they think she had some type of infection underlying. All this reminds me of Dorothea Mackellar's poem My Country, written and rewritten between 1904-1908 when it was published.

Thank you for looking in:-

P.S. I found my post pack with my mystery items stashed away in it now just need to organise things for the giveaway...

P.S. Many thanks for the prayers and comments on our ongoing bushfires and concern for the safety of all Aussie's- we currently have a fire about 6km south of here which jumped the Warragamba Dam. (Sydney's main water supply), this is the first time in close to 40 years since the area has had such a severe burn, whilst the bush walks around us remain closed (doesn't stop some crossing the warning tape) the powers that be are concerned that allowing a back burn to be put in to protect houses will cause significant damage to the infrastructure of the hiking trails, so the bushfire brigade/Army/National Parks workers are attempting to use hand tools to clear the fuel load, we have also had a reprieve from the hot weather, today has seen a combination of smoke and mountain mist with more rain predicted for later in the week... 

LPoCF December Polkadoodles

Hi again,

Well the fires in NSW continue to burn, leaving the city choking with smoke- when I have had to be in the city I have had my asthma medication prior to leaving home and again before departing the train. The nearest fire to me is expected to burn for another month or more, but those of us who have lived in the area the longest know that it needs the burn off to protect us from more dangerous fires in the future. The biggest fire has grown by over 200,000 hectares in the last week and currently sits at 369,279 hectares, if you add all the smaller fires that have joined on to the main fire front the area burnt totals 575,782 hectares...

Enough about fires, onto my post. Today brings us to the last challenge of this year with my lovely team mates over at Lil Patch of Crafty Friends, this fortnight we are sponsored by Polkadoodles who are offering a ￡6.75 voucher for use in their store to the lucky winner.

LPoCF Make a wish

Hello again,

I'm feeling the winter chill today, we rarely get snow that settles and this week woke to 4 inch deep snow fall which caused the Police to close the local area to all cars, which was followed up by a mini blizzard the next morning, thanks to an Antarctic blast. Just to add to all of this we have had a slow leak in the ceiling which dripped all over the book shelf I keep my card making supplies in, which means I have had to have a forced clean up and the ceiling has had to be cut open to find the location of the problem meaning our house looks like a craft bomb has hit it, my supplies are everywhere while the ceiling/roof timbers dry out and then it can be repaired... so it turns out that the hot water heater over flow pipe that runs to the outside of the house was never sealed when it was installed more than 40yrs ago and it has slowly move apart leaving a gap of 3 inches where there was no pipes connected...

Today brings us to a new challenge with my lovely team mates over at Lil Patch of Crafty Friends which is as always Anything goes, this fortnight we are sponsored by Emerald Faeries who generously gave the design team two images to work with, I have used the super cute image called Jewel to make a very girly card. I'm currently unable to find the digi sentiment on my pc, not sure if it is the one that appears to not want to play after my recent upgrades.

Here is my card:-

What I used:-

CBD Magnolia

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.

CBD Flowers

Hello again, 

Today brings us to a new Challenge for Crafting by Designs, we would love you to join in our challenge and this week the challenge is Flowers or Floral, we have one fabulous sponsors this week Beccy’s Place will be giving the lucky winner a $10 gift certificate for their store.

Beccy’s Place 

PRIZE $10 gift certificate

I have used a stamp from the Beccy’s Place Waratah set, being an Aussie I love to find Australian stamps and images. The Waratah is the floral emblem of NSW, the state that I live in, according to local Aboriginals the Waratah was a flower seen from afar, which the warriors of the tribe used to remove from the plant and soak the flower head in water and drink the resulting sweet drink for an energy boost. We have them growing in both the front and back garden. I am also sharing two pictures from our garden, the first one has begun opening and the second is still closed up. 

Here is my card:-

I coloured the image using Derwent and Faber-Castell pencils, die cut with an MFT stitched oval die teamed with some papers from the Kaisercraft paper pad called Open Road which features Australian flora, fauna and iconic images of our country. I have used the coloured border (which looks like bark of a gum tree) from the spine to stamp my sentiment onto to make a card for my Mum for Mother’s Day.

This challenge is open until March 26th, you can add your project by using the Linky tool over at Crafting by Designs. Please be sure to link your project back to us.

What I used:-

White 12.4x17.5cm card blank 

Beccy’s Place Waratah Stamp set  

Faber-Castell and Derwent coloured pencils

Gold embossing powder

Clear embossing ink

Kaisercraft Open Road papers

Kaisercraft Mini Clear Stamps ‘Occasions’
