LPoCF#214 Patties Creations

Hello again,

Well Spring has begun its slow arrival here in my part of New South Wales, the first flowering Cherry tree flowers have started opening in the last few days and, I have spotted all three of our resident Blue Tongue Lizards out sunning themselves along the front of our house.

This week bring us to an all new Anything goes Challenge with my team mates over at Lil Patch of Crafty Friends, this fortnight we are sponsored by Patties Creations who allowed us to choose some images, I chose Roses in Milk bottle. I have gone extra clean and simple with just one patterned paper, bakers twine and some self-adhesive gems with the image and a die cut sentiment.

Hello again,

Well, another month has passed, and my mojo is still missing, spring is beginning to show, with the daffodils and jonquils out in force, unfortunately the local sulphur crested cockatoos dislike them and chew them off at the base. Our peach tree has the first of the spring flowers opening.

Today brings us to an all new Anything goes Challenge with my team mates over at Lil Patch of Crafty Friends, this fortnight we are sponsored by Sheepski Designs we were given a selection of images to use. I have used Wildflower Image 205 image was fussy cut after die cutting the main image with the branch of flowers lifted out of the die (if you understand that)

LPoCF All Dressed Up

Hello again,

Today brings us to another all new Anything Goes Challenge at Lil Patch of Crafty Friends, this fortnight we are being sponsored by All Dressed Up who kindly gave the team two images to work with, one being this cute image Koala Hugs, I have only ever seen one wild Koala, while on a holiday as a kid, we wondered why all these people were gathered around the base of a tree, one pale grey backside was all you could see many metres above the ground.

Card making mojo is still missing and family history has been going great guns, I have been helping a friend start their tree and finding some interesting 'secrets' which have needed careful consideration of older generations...

Weather wise, a week of high winds peak gusts at 97km/h have seen branches in trees snap and then need cutting up for the green waste bin, grey wintry days with a few lovely sunny ones and if the wind is not blowing they are lovely and warm (well for here).

Did you know that there are over 600 varieties of Eucalyptus trees and Koala's can only eat about 50 of them...
