Tuesday Trigger

Over at Moxie Fab World the Tuesday Trigger was this colour inspiration.

 

This is the card I came with using the my fab new Tim Holtz Stamp from Dallas Turner.

60th Birthday Card

One of the guys at work turns 60 next week.

Happy Birthday Davey Mac!

I made this card to go with his bottle of Whiskey (he’s Scottish ya know).

Davey is football mad and fronts up to my desk on Mondays at lunchtime to get printouts of the Scottish Football Results.

Davey is an avid Phoenix supporter and it so happens that his home club of Alloa Athletic sport the same colours.

I used my Silhouette to cut out the Paper doll, the football strip and the ball. (Oh, yeah – the numbers and grass too).  These are available as a free download in many formats from Quilling Patch.

Have I ever mentioned how much I love this machine?  I cut something out every day, for one reason or another, lol.

Art Pieces – ATC

This weeks theme at Art Pieces  is Houses.  I have Fairies and Little People on my mind right now because that is the theme for the March ATC Swap at Scrapbook Dreams.

So, for me, the choice of house just had to be . . . . . . . .

 

I cut the toadstool pieces out with my Silhouette in 3 layers.  I added Sepia dimensional to the window panes and Glow-In-The-Dark dimensional to the spots (So the Fairies can find their house at night).  The Fence is from a Martha Stewart punch.

ATC Challenge

My good friend Tricia at Scrapping in the Avenues has been taking part in an ATC Weekly Challenge at Art Pieces

This weeks theme is "Your Star Sign"

I wanted to give it a go but thought that the scales for Libra were a bit boring. However, after seeing Tricia's awesome entry, a few thoughts came together and this is what I came up with.

Tuesday Trigger

While blog-browsing, I came across a card challenge that took my fancy.

You can find the details the original card that triggered my version here on Moxie Fab World.



I used my Silhouette to cut the yellow fret-work and made the bow from netting and ribbon.

Mario and Luigi

I will let the layout tell the story – enjoy!

Scrapfest 2010 Achievements

I had such a great time in Rotorua with Shell and the other Scrapbook Dreams Forum attendees.

I got a lovely hug from Liam at the airport and I was off and away for 5 days! This is the longest I have ever been away from Liam and I did find it quite hard. It was good to get the occasional txt from him though.

This is the altered tin I completed from Shell’s first class:

My next class was also with Shell from Scrapbook Dreams

This class was aimed at layouts about boys and using multiple photos. What great value this class was as it turned out to be TWO layouts!

There were two more classes (yes, both with Shell) but I have yet to take photos so . . . . watch this space.

Shell ran the Bossy Scrapper Challenge on crop night. Boy she really can be bossy! LOL!

This consists of timed instructions – Find a plain 12x12 cardstock base, add a border. Find a piece of patterned paper, cut it to these measurements, decorate one long edge. Find 6 small elements (brads or buttons etc). Find a photo. Find a title. Create journalling split into at least 3 parts. Find a single embellishment. Put it all together – you have 10 minutes. GO!!!

Talk about feeling the pressure but it was fun!

Rangi won this challenge and I was really chuffed cause I voted for her! LOL.

I won (with a little help from my friends) the Scrappers Scavenger Hunt. I had to be the first one to produce: A lipstick or lip-gloss, a journalling pen, a purple brad and a supermarket receipt. It was a true race to the finish!

I was also the lucky winner of the Challenge Pack vote. At the crop night on the Saturday we were each issued a pack consisting of a 12 x 12 paper and a packet of “goodies”. The instruction was to create an entry using everything we had been given (including the packet). We could add to the supplies but not take anything away.

I chose to do a layout (being of limited imagination with the so-called goodies) but because I didn’t have a spare photo, I stamped an image with a new stamp that had arrived only the day before. I purchased this stamp from the same supplier that I have got most of my really cool favourites from (thanks Dallas!) – the character’s name is Mrs Walker and Walker just happens to be my maiden name. You can see why I just HAD to buy her.
