White on White & some Pics

 Good Morning All

When I am browsing facebook or Pinterest, I do love to see white on white cards, so this is one I made before we went away.

I used Centura pearl card for the Creative Expressions die and Mosaic Leaves from CE too with just plain white card.

While we were in Melbourne we visited the Botanic Gardens as I wanted to see all the flowers.

To be honest I was disappointed as there were not that many but here's afew pics of the ones I saw.

And this is the war Memorial which we went inside, its like a small museum.

On Way Home

 Hi to all

Wow am I glad to be coming home. Its been a great trip but I think John and I have both decided that long trips are out in future. I have definitely felt my age on this trip.

I have posted some of these pics already on Instagram and Facebook.

F1 qualifier at Albert Park in Melbourne 

  Have to be on best behaviour or else!!!!

My first time seeing a drive in Off licence or Bottlo as Aussies call them.

And beautiful Geelong, an hour train ride from Melbourne city.

Hopefully when this goes live we will be in Barcelona waiting for our final flight to Alicante and home, then tomorrow collect Rico. Missed him so much.

Happy Sunday from Down under

 Good Morning All

We leave here on Tuesday and arrive back in Spain on Wednesday morning, not looking forward to the long flight, I must admit.

A couple of lovely Gridwork cards to show you today.

I love doing the grid work, more so the snipping than the embossing dots, as it hurts my fingers doing that.  But worth the pain I think!!!

Love these circle grids, alot easier than the square ones.

This one is so pretty.

See ya soon.

More Waste parchment

 Good Morning All

As you know I like to try to use all small pieces of parchment and here are some cards I made using small pieces.

I use this A4 square plate

This is like the piece of parchment I work with

I just work on one heart and sometimes snip parts of it out.

And then make each piece into a card

I am very happy with this selection of cards and have helped replenish the charity box.

New Challenges not running

 Good Morning All

The challenges are NOT running this month.

First of the month means new challenges, but not sure if Diane is posting them as she has not been feeling too good, but here are my cards anyway.

Moving Along With The Times

The theme has been chosen by Jenny and it is

What is your Favourite Craft Item

Well mine is my corner punch, I use it all the time, infact it stays on my desk and never gets put away in the drawer.

For both challenges I used LOTV Toppers titles Spring Rabbits.

The papers are Barbs Faves from Clarity and a strip from their designer paper  pad too.

 I inked the edges of the topper with Oxide ink.

Matted the sentiment onto a piece of lace.

This is my corner punch with 3 sizes, I also have an X Cut one too.

*************************

Now onto Crafty Friends Challenge where the theme is 

Here is my next LOTV  Spring Rabbits topper.

I made this into an Easter card for my Grandchildren in Southport.

Hunkydory

 Good Morning All

Well we got to Melbourne OK, very tired though but good after a full nights sleep.

We went into city yesterday and had a walk alomg the river and went up to the Skydeck, 88 floors.

 

One of my Craft ladies gave me a bag full of Hunkydory kits.

Although I do like them to look at, I must admit I am not a great fan of using them, but waste not want not as the saying goes. So I sat at my desk and set to with a set suitable for Man cards and here are the cards I made, lots of them!!! I think I made about 20 cards.

Most of them are A5 size and they have filled my charity boxes up nicely!
