LPoCF #232 The Paper Shelter

 Hello again, 

Winter so far has seen warm sunny days and cool nights, followed by heavy rains which has again seen the main dam for Sydney spilling over, bringing flood watch back to the plains, this time we only had 50mm out of the 200mm+ they had expected, so fewer people have been affected and the Government has stopped a land release in an area which is prone to flooding. We are very glad that the current weather is mild, mind you we are still experiencing our regular cold weather, as the central heating decided last week to stop working, the first company said it would be three weeks before someone could make it out, the second company are sending someone out next week, as the reset instructions are not working... we have a secondary heater which will see us burn through much of what is left of our old eucalypt which was cut down as it was rotting.... 

Today brings us to another All new Anything goes challenge with my teammates at Lil Patch of Crafty Friends, we are sponsored this fortnight by The Paper Shelter, who allowed me to select one set from the store which we all used called Tea Time, I have used three of the set to create my card. Naturally as I layered on the embossed panel the card shifted and it has ended up slightly skewed, and likely only I will notice the tiny gaps where two pieces of my scraps are not quite lined up...

Happy New Year!

Hello again,

Welcome to 2021, may this year be a Happy, safe and healthy year for all of you and your loved ones. I hope to be able to spend more time crafting and in blogland this year, although that may depend on the physio and how my body reacts to it and the travel involved getting there and back.

We have begun this year with new Covid rules here in NSW, we all must wear a face mask in any indoor places, shared cars, public transport etc. with a $200 fine for no compliance. I think today in the Sydney basin there were 3 cases of community transmission, related to a patient transport worker who transported a returning passenger from overseas. I don't think that I would have believed if someone told me that I would enter a bank wearing a mask and get served without the security screens being activated.

I hope you have all had a wonderful, if quiet Christmas and New Year. I have already made a start on this years Christmas cards, with some lovely new Australian papers and dies. These will be kept aside to head over to our English and Scottish relatives at the other end of this year. I have used up several scraps of various silver papers, I think I like the mirror card ones best. Birds featured- Pink Galah, White Cockatoo, Laughing Kookaburra and Currawong




I have also found and had the time to ink up the Clearly Besotted stamp and die combo I won in Di's Snippets Playground Christmas draw in 2019, it went missing when our ceiling leaked all over my craft cupboard and I only found it again in the last few weeks.... so my Christmas card count is off to a good start, 5 cards in one week... 


What I used:-
4x 12.6x 17.8cm (C7) card blanks
Francheville Designer Squares 'Jocelyn Proust' Australian Wildlife paper (Spotlight)
Silver paper/card scraps
Various scrap papers to co-ordinate with the patterned papers
Spellbinders Shapeabilities Die D-Lites Holiday Sentiments
Paper Rose Die Gum leaf border die
Double sided Adhesive sheet and tape
DL card blank 10x21cm
Clearly Besotted 'Jingle Bells' stamp and Die
Cocoa Colorbox inkpad
Sand and Cardinal Versacolor ink pads
Memento Tuxedo Black ink pad
White and red scrap cardstock
Scrap of Doodlebug striped paper
Black Fine line pen
CCD Pin dot square die

I would like to enter these cards in:-


Clearly Besotted Reindeer:
Christmas 24: #25 Anything Goes
Merry Little Christmas Challenge Anything goes
Snippets Playground (snippets of white card, striped and red cardstock)
12 Months of Christmas link-up- #73 Anything goes or Clean and Simple

Thank you for looking in, I hope you are all safe and well in your part of this world.
