LPoCF #222 Stream Side Studios

Hello again,

I hope you have all had a wonderful start to the New Year, mine has been quiet, hot and wet. Summer brings our area large numbers of tourists, some of whom have difficulty following 'closed' signs. Three helicopters to rescue and/or check people were safe to wait for local Police Rescue squad to walk into their location on closed hikes and then walk them out. Undoubtedly discussing why some areas are closed. In our case there are multiple landslides in the bush, affecting the hikers, canyoners, and 'photo opportunity' seekers for IG. Sorry for the rant, two years ago a father and son died in a landslide in the valley.

I am back again with my teammates at Lil Patch of Crafty Friends, this fortnight we are sponsored by Stream Side Studios who kindly allowed each of us to choose a digital set to work with I chose Berry Sweet Mice.

Clingwrap Christmas Trees

Hello again,

I am joining in with the ladies at Group of Seven Cardmakers, this months challenge is Smooshing with Clingwrap. I have tried just about every type of paper or card I have, I discovered some photo paper pre cut 4x6" from my old printer ink box, which worked exceptionally well with this technique. I also waited for a cool change, being the middle of our Summer. I used Dylusions Spray inks in Funky Fuschia and Crushed Grape, adding a few sprays of plain water to the sheet of store brand cling wrap then smooshing it onto the photo paper, it took a couple of days to completely dry, that cool change lasted several days including one when we turned on the heater....

I have used this one 4x6" (10x15cm) photo paper to make two Christmas cards, Marianne Design Craftable tree dies, unknown star die cut from silver paper. MFT Sentiment in Tuxedo Black ink.

I am entering these cards in:-

LPoCF #220 Hetty Clare Christmas Penguins

Hello again,

Well, we are in the midst of a severe heatwave here in my part of Australia, as we live in a cool climate air conditioning is not usual for any homes! Sydney siders asked us to put the air-con on and were very surprised that we don't have it.

Today brings us to another all new Anything goes Challenge with my team mates over at Lil Patch of Crafty Friends, this fortnight we are being sponsored by Hetty Clare who kindly allowed us to chose two images for the design team. I chose Christmas Penguins, I am using up another of my scrappy paper strips, all stuck onto snippet of white card and trimmed, I have an envelope on the back of the paper pads to store the snippets from other projects that are too nice to throw away.
