Fundraiser Crop Day

Hello again. I went to a fundraiser crop day on the 21st of August. They were raising funds for the Hunter Community School. I think we all had fun. Marion Werren & Jen Hall held classes. We raised $2505.

Have a look at the blog at http://www.newcastlefundraiser.blogspot.com/

Here is the page I made on the day. The photos are of our daughter Heidi on her wedding day.

Thanks for looking. Be back soon.

Update on Colour Palette #19

Hi. Sorry, I've been out of action for a while. So busy at work & working long hours!! We had a well earned rest, flying to Western Australia to visit our daughter & son-in-law, for just over a week. When we came back to work, it only took about 5 mins to get back into the swing of things & get stressed !! LOL !!

I have made a double page for Colour Palette #19. I made it a few weeks ago, but I haven't taken a photo of it until now.













The journalling reads:
You are different in so many ways: likes & dislikes; personality & character; nature & temperament. Your strengths have taken in very different directions.
Yet you have so many similarities: you are strong & independent; determined & passionate; adventurous & courageous; loving & caring. I am so proud of the wonderful women you have become.
Thanks for looking. Be back soon.

Colour Palette #19

Here is the colour palette for this week. This is more my style.

I am loving the Color Room. I love the colour palettes & the sketches. They help me to decide which colours to use & how to layout the page. It's wonderful. I normally take a long time to decide how to do the page. With the decision made for me, I only need to choose the photo!!

Here is my page.

Double page to come!!

Father's Day shirt cards

I have made these cute Father's Day shirt cards. They were made with Stampin'Up! Windsor Knot Designer Series Paper, with Whisper White card stock on the inside, so you can stamp or write your sentiment on. Made with a single sheet of double sided patterned paper. The tie was cut separately.

You could also use them as a male birthday card.

If you would like to know how to make this card, book a workshop with me & I will show you how.

Colour Palette #18

Here is the colour palette for this week for The Color Room. These colours were a real challenge for me. I am used to doing 'girly' pages, with lots of subtle or heritage colours, flowers & flourishes. These colours were brighter than I'm used to & I couldn't find much in my stash to match these colours.

Here is my page for this week. The photo is of my two handsome nephews, Jonty & Gabe.

As you know I like to do a double page & here it is.

Color Palette #17 - The Color Room

Here is the colour palette & sketch for this week.

& here is my page for this week. The photo is of Brianna & Andy at their engagement party in April.

I used the Color Spritzer Tool & markers to spray colour onto the vanilla card first. I stamped the white heart with the Razzle Dazzle flower & heat embossed it.

I have used vine twig & flower soft for the branches & the Little Leaves & the Big Shot for the leaves. The large flowers were hand made with white card & the scallop circle punch. I inked them with Lavender Lace & Cameo Coral. The small flowers were inked with markers & a blender pen. The title was die cut from Brushed Copper Metallic card.

Below are photos of the details of the flowers.
