Card Sketch 526

Afternoon all

The sun has come out this afternoon after a wet start to the day, which brought me into my craft space, which I think is a good thing as I actually got some cards and a layout done.

A least the sun will warm the house up, 

    One of the cards I did was for Atlantic Hearts Sketch Challenge  its been a long time since I created half circles on a card but here is my Card

Morning all

This is the first time in about a year since I have participate in the challenge. I broke my fingers on my hand after a fall . They had to have surgery to have pins and screws inserted so took lots of time to recover. We then moved house into a  an over 55's Lifestyle village and to another state to be closer to  our family.

I hope you like my take on the sketch

I hve used Uniquely Creative "Summer Sonata"

 Morning  all

Its raining again today  last night it was extremely  heavy. The place is a sodden  mess.

It will take ages to dry. At least its not hot so the grass won't  grow like it dies in summer.

Yesterday I completed the sketch for Atlantic Hearts weekly card challenge. 

As I had my scraps out as doing a journal page for a swap. I have no idea who printed the papers, I think some are Kaisercraft  and some are Stamping Up I must have received in a swap.

Hope you like it

 Good Morning

Its very cloudy and overcast on this Sunday morning in Australia . Its Mothers Day here in Australia

I have a quite few moments so catching up on my blog posts, not like last month when I made the cards but totally forget to add them to my blog. The last couple of weeks have just been so hectic. Life certainly can get in the way of craft.

This card is for the sketch challenge No: 471 for Atlantic Hearts Challenge.

Loved the sketch

I have used some old papers Kaisercraft "Telegraph Road", Kaisercraft Stitched Circle Dye and Uniquely Creative Slime Line Scalloped Dyes with a small amount of lace and some Kaisercraft Gems

 Morning all

Its been a terrible week, not feeling the best, cannot wait till next week to have the injections in my hip and back, hopefully it lessens the pain a bit.

Last night we had a thunderstorm,  the rain pelted down and the lightning was definitely  a show stopper, thank heavens no thunder. According to the radar we only received the tail end, where as the Gold Coast received the worse of it.

Yesterday  I had to make some Birthday cards, still have 5 more for an order, whilst doing these I decided I have a look at Atlantic Hearts sketch challenge.  Below is my take on the sketch, I have used a Kaisercraft 6.50 " paper Pad called " Fleur"

Its Sunday  afternoon and I was cleaning up my table after a busy day yesterday and I came across the card I did on Friday  for the Atlantic Hearts Sketch Challenge,  which I forgot to post or photograph. 

So here it is, I have started on the Kaisercraft "Full Bloom " Collection  I have 2 paper pads 6.5" . They where given to me, not much has been used. It will take me a while to use these I think.

Morning guys

Sorry to spam you but was carding making yesterday. These will all be donated to Blue Care an organisation which helps older Australian stay in their homes longer

If you read the previous post , you know I was using scraps from Ultimate Crafts "Rambling Rose" 6" paper pad.

The sketch for Atlantic Heart Sketch Challenge fitted the bill perfectly for all the 1" to 2.25" strips  they where all 6" long, which I had sitting in the bag, I actually made two of these as the design is so perfect to use up scrap bits

http://atlanticheartschallenge.blogspot.com/

I actually completed this earlier than normal, don't usually do them till Friday and Didn't feel like scrapping

I hope you like my interpretation of the sketch, not good lightening as its very overcast with expected storms

 Afternoon All

What a week its been, Its been raining here is South East Queensland for the last 6 days.

The state is now in flood mode , we had over 220mils at night for the last 6 days some days more which is nearly 13" of rain.

Our back yard has its own lake as our soil is mostly lake. Listening to the news this morning there are  number of towns completely inundated with water. For most of us the weather reminds us of the 2011 Brisbane floods, for some its exactly the same.

On a lighter note I have made a card to entered into the Atlantic Hearts Sketch challenge No 461

I am using a different paper pad its called  "Miss Betty" by Kaisercraft its a 6.50" book

I hope you like my card. sketch 460 I was chosen  in the top 3, which made me extremely happy

Morning  all

We woke to a fine sunny morning,  it rained most of yesterday.  I was in my craft space most of the day trying a few fancu card folds.

I need a swap card called a Double Dutch fold. Watched a few U tube videos and tried the base as I went , all seemed to do them larger than Australian Post standard size.. I eventually got the grasp on how to do the base, the layers didn't  matter as I could manage  that . In the end I was very pleased with the outcome  I will add it was to the bottom of this post

This morning I retrieve my Scrap box with the strip's in it and have made this week's card for the challenge ever at Atlantic Hearts sketch challenge No 456

All pieces came from the box and all pieces used  entirely so a few bits gone. 

If I didn't spent enough time watching UTUBE yesterday,I watched more last night video 's on how to use up your scraps. Some great ideas to

Sketch 454 (Maureen W) AUST

 Afternoon  all, 

Its been a thunderstorm day, with hot and muggy conditions 

Physio this morning,  then off to pick up a script which they had to order on Wednesday. We want some of my milk iI usually buy long life, tried Aldi as that is where we normally buy it, none, when to Coles none there either. Did read about the shortage and the limits they have on items, in both shops the shelves in some sections are bare.

See what happens on Monday once the trucks come in.

It is just as bad as early last year when panic buying first begun . Queensland had over 10 thousand cases today. This strain is worst for us here in Queensland as we never saw over thousands of  cases at any stage first time around. I  did notice today that more people where wearing masks then ever before.

I expect we will get higher like N.S.W. who had over 60 thousand cases today

I "ll stay home, I have so much stuff to get done . I can keept myself occupied.

This morning I made this card for the challenge over at Atlantic Hearts sketch challenge  No 454

Used some more bits from my scrap box .

The little stamp dye cuts I found the other day sorting my bits. They have worked perfectly with out changing the orientation to landscape 

I hope you like my interpretation if the sketch

Very black outside now, storm coming across. Last night we had  just finished dinner when thec thunder and lighting started it was terrible,  it made me jump each time, it was directly over the top of us. Heavy rain and small size hail for all most a half an hour then it became slow and steady for quite some time. Thank heavens we did not loose power.

Today I thought I write this up before I forgot like last week

The card is for the weekly Sketch Challenge over at Atlantic Hearts blog

Good Morning

Its a much cooler day today then yesterday. Its cloudy with a bit rain last night. The forecast for our Spring is a wet one. A little rain each week would be nice for the garden but not to much.

I decided to start the month with a Card Skech. The first sketch challenge for the week is "Atlantic Hearts" . Looking back i haven't entry this challenge since I spent a lengthy spell in hospital in April.

I am back into doing things now, so here is my entry 

I have used Kaisercraft "Honey Chai" a very old collection from 2014.
