Christmas In July













Hello again,

This month we are celebrating Christmas in July over at Lil Patch of Crafty Friends, each week we will begin a new challenge. We have one lovely sponsor each week, this week we are sponsored by Ching-Chou Kuik who have  kindly given the design team two images to work with. I have used Gingerbread Man Parade to make a very quick and easy Christmas card. 

I don't know how many of our local businesses are having Yulefest this year due to Covid-19 and associated restrictions, it is usually quite popular, especially if we have snow predicted for people to enjoy a traditional hot Christmas dinner, with carols and other festivities. While we in the Southern Hemisphere are enjoying traditional hot meals, gathering around a fireplace etc., I guess that those in the Northern hemisphere are enjoying a summer style Christmas ? 



Prize:- Same two images Design Team have used

You can see more of her amazing work via any of the below channels
They also run a Facebook challenge in their group


Here is my card:-

What I used:-
White 12.6 x 17.8cm card blank
Derwent and Faber-Castell pencils
Gold gel ink pen
Clear Wink of Stella (snowman)
Diamond Glaze (lollipops and carrot nose)

Strip of Christmas Create Foil and Glitter (Hunter Leisure)

LPoCF #134 The Paper Shelter

Hello again, 

Well this all new blogger is interesting to find ones way around, perhaps I have been away from my blog a little too long... 

On to my Design Team card, this fortnight Lil Patch of Crafty Friends is sponsored by The Paper Shelter  and we each worked with Birthday Cupcake, I have used the pre-coloured digital image to make a card using brightly coloured papers from my stash. 

                                                        
Prize 3 Images


What I used:
White 12.5x 17.8cm card blank
Scraps plain orange, blue and reverse of a Bazzill basics sample
Doodlebug Designs Cotton Candy dot and Pretty Pink Stripes papers
Memory Box die Peppini Laurel (leaves)
MFT Stitched rectangle Die
Pink flowers from my box (came with the orange bling)

I hope all is well in your part of the world, here in Aus things are beginning to settle down, less community transmissions of Covid-19 means relaxing of the rules, meaning our recent near silence is returning to near norms as Sydney siders once again start exploring the regional areas, I live on the fringes, meaning for some things we are considered as part of Metropolitan Sydney others as a regional area. Over the recent long weekend celebrating the Queen's Birthday we had a street full of cars as tourists came to go out on bushwalks, how social distancing worked on the limited number of tracks open I have no idea. Some remain closed after a rock fall which killed a worker (several years ago) others are closed due to the fire and or flood damage at the beginning of the year. I wish that some of the people going out walking realise that just because they hide behind their cars between the street and the houses doesn't mean that we can't see them, we have a canyon nearby which means people get undressed and the re-dressed in wet suits, completely oblivious of the fact that we can see out our windows... it is not uncommon to find underpants left behind outside any house once they leave...  wet soggy underwear at that... 🤣

I have recently attended a craft show which was held totally online, I may have, oh alright, I did go on a shopping spree, ordering some re-inkers for my Distress Oxide pads, some stamps from Beccy's Place and other necessary items like double sided tape... Over a four day period online the various businesses ran free Facebook tutorials on everything from Sugar craft for cake making, quilting, cardmaking and scrap booking, wisely this time several of the businesses put together kits to create your own the way the samples were done, you could also choose to pay a fee to attend classes online with some of the same, with the fee allowing 30 days all access to the classes. It was a great way to spend a weekend, whilst some of the usual show businesses already had online stores others are completely new to me, I chose to shop as local as possible and I had my stamps from Queensland the very next business day.
