#200 LPoCF Mirtillamente

Hello all,

Summer has finally decided to arrive in my part of Australia for the first time in four years we went above 32C, not something I truly like, at least the storm last night has cooled us down for the day... We bought a new printer, one that has individual inks you add to the device no cartridges, unfortunately the inks ran when using printed images for crafting with liquid glitters including wink of stella pen :( I will have to look into if/how to seal the ink.

This fortnight brings us to Challenge #200 with my team mates over at Lil Patch of Crafty Friends, this week our sponsor is Mirtillamente who kindly gave the team three images to choose from. The prize will be two digital images of choice.

I have used the image called Santa Ops Color to make a rather fast and flat Christmas card, I think the layered Die cut took the longest to dry.

Here is my card:-

Mirtillamente Digital image Santa Ops Color
C7 card blank 12.6cm x 17.8cm
White card for printing
Paper Rose Merry Christmas layered die
Paper Rose Stitched rectangle dies

LPoCF#198 Conie Fong

Hello all,

Wishing you all a very Happy, safe, healthy and Crafty New Year, I want to join in a few more challenges this year, it will of course depend on how I am feeling and if the physiotherapist will allow me to do more craft...

Another New Year, I hope you have all enjoyed the celebrations of the start of a New Year, some locals let off illegal fireworks, there were no local fireworks, as a child I remember being taken to the local railway station with Dad and his binoculars to see the fireworks in Sydney, nearly 100km away, being in the mountains we can on a clear day see Sydney's skyline...

Today brings us to an all-new challenge with my team mates over at Lil Patch of Crafty Friends, this fortnight we are sponsored by Conie Fong who kindly gave the design team three images to work with, I have used Conie Fong Peonies in a Jar to make a start on birthday cards for the coming year.

LPoCF #196 Alex Syberia

Hello all,

Today brings us to an all-new challenge over at Lil Patch of Crafty Friends, this fortnight we are sponsored by Alex Syberia who has kindly given each member of the design team an image to work with. I have used an image called Christmas Ornament to make a very quick card. I actually made a second card, which I liberally added glitter paint to, and the new printer ink ran ruining the whole idea.
