Guest Designer Post. Week 5 Sketch :- Part of the Story . Lasting Memories

Morning All

A very wet last few days, but it is much warmer and we do need the rain. On Thursday we had the grass cut, hubby reckon it was warranted but I insisted glad I did as with the rain you can already see the growth.

Hope everyone is safe and well, hugs go out to people in lock down. Our state is relative free with only cases at this stage are people returning from overseas and who are already in quarantine.

 

This is the final Guest Designer post for "Lasting Memories Blog".

I do hope you have received some inspiration from my layouts. I have kept them simple but as I love to fussy cut elements to match what I am doing, there is always some layering of elements

Designer post- Christmas in July theme

Morning all,

Its a beautiful day here in South East Queensland.  After a chilly 7 degrees this morning the skies are blue and the sun is shinning with a light breeze not like yesterday when it was freezing and blowing a gale.

The theme for the Designer Team this month is "Christmas in July" thought i really should be doing a layout, but time got away from me, as my leg has been to swollen to sit for long periods.


We do hope  this has given you some inspiration to join us this month In the "ANYHING GOES CHALLENGE",

I decided i would use up a scrap piece of Christmas paper from last year so decided to do a one sheet Wonder set of cards. The paper was a little bit bigger than a 6" x 6" paper pad so doubled up on a few of the cuts so i would have no waste.
The page was 11.5 " long and 6" wide. I have also used the remaining Collectables and Sticker sheet from the collection. 
This selection took me around an hour to make including the cutting and embossing of each card.
A set of very quick and easy cards.


MY CARDS:

    

PRODUCTS USED:

Kaisercraft "Peace and Joy" Collection:- Comfort Reverse, Sticker Sheet and Collectables.
Kaisercraft Embossing Folders Dots and Christmas Tree
Kaisercraft Green Card Stock

2 x 5.75" x 1.50"
1 x 4.75" x 2"

Third Column
4 x 1.50" x 1.50"
4 x 1.50" x 1"


Cut green card stock for each piece 0.25" wider and longer.
