I decided to turn the sketch around and make a landscape oriented card. The digi used is called Hang in There; coloured in copic markers and then layered onto light brown, medium brown and finally dark brown cardstock. The three small circles were made with a regular one hole punch and then the hang in there stamp has been "joined" to one of the circles by drawing a line with a marker pen.The digi image is available over at the shop.

SQUIGGLEFLY CHALLENGE #58

Welcome to this week's Squigglefly challenge - #58.

This weeks challenge theme is BEAUTIFUL BLOOMS - interpret that anyway you wish, use ANY Squigglefly image and create anything you want !!
There are always FREEbies available at their store!
Here is my card for the challenge, using one of the flowers and leaves from a set of digi's called  smell the flowers - which can be found here. Its a great set with 13 digi's including word art as well.

I printed out the flower digi image 3 times and the leaf 6 times and coloured using copic markers. I cut them all out and layered different pieces from the 3 flowers to make one 3d flower using foam tape. Then I taped the flower and the leaves together and affixed them onto the doily which I had cut out with my craft robo and coloured using my blending tool and worn lipstick Distress inkpad.  The doily has been placed onto a white piece of card stock which has been edged using the blending tool and worn lipstick Distress inkpad. The white card stock was also dry embossed using the swiss dots cuttlebug folder. Base folded card stock is bazzill pink. The saying which is also part of the digi set has been edged with the blending tool and worn lipstick Distress inkpad. 

This digi set can be used for so many different occasions including Christmas !

This particular card I have made would be perfect to send to a dear friend to say Thanks for their special friendship.

SCRAPPING WITH I DID IT CREATIONS

I have LOTS of photos to scrap, as I have not long returned from 10 days in Sydney, visiting with family - including my son and his girlfriend who were over from New Zealand as well.
A great way to get motivated into scrapping your photos is to join in the weekly challenges over on the Scrapping with I Did It Creations blog
This week Challenge #2 is a sketch challenge

and heres my layout using the sketch as inspiration.

I have used a sheet of Clouds 12x12 paper from HOTP and then layered the photo of my husband, son & his girlfriend and myself onto blue and yellow cardstock. Matted the ticket and wording in the same cardstock colours and also using my craftrobo cut out the sun in yellow and Out of This World saying in blue.

Doing the skywalk on top of Sydney's Sky tower was exhilarating, scary, 

exciting and fun all rolled up into one !
