ARTastic November DT layout

Hi friends

What a great time of the year...Melbourne Cup Day.

If you're into horse racing like our family is, you'll know 

what I'm talking about. Nearly as good a Christmas!

Horse racing is a big part of our family. We have horses that 

we absolutely love, we get super excited when our horses have 

babies and we become grandparents. Our son has been working with horses for the last few years too. It's in his blood too. 

He has one special friend, and that friend is Fundamentalist. 

This horse certainly knows who Marcus is when he sees him. 

We have some great videos of Marcus and Fundamentalist 

together enjoying each others company.

What a perfect challenge Jane has done for the month of November. The criteria is to use Black and White and the inspiration 

artwork is from Kristin Hardimann - Stream out of the barriers. 

I have a little feeling that Jane may have done this challenge 

just for me!!

Picture Perfect Memories - Sketchy Boards November Challenge Layout

Howdy..

Challenge time again at Sketchy Boards.

This months criteria is to use blue in your layout and of course there is a sketch. The picture below shows you the sketch.

As soon as I saw this paper I knew I wanted to use it for this layout. Not the hexagons like in the sketch but hey that's 

why it's up for interpretation!!

We'd love to see what you create, come and play along and join in with this months challenge xxx

Cards for him - Paper rose

Happy Sunday to you all

There are always so many options to make cards for females.

Paper Rose have these fabulous Tool Set 1 - 16542 dies that 

are perfect for any male cards you want to make.

I love this Spot Background Die 16853, it is so versatile 

and can and will be used on lots of cards. You will notice 

I have used it different ways on all three cards. On this 

card I have cut it out just as it is.  

I have used the happy die from the  

Happy Birthday To You Layered dies 17631. The other dies 

that I have used is the Alphabet Dies 16844. These are 

perfect for any card sentiment and wonderful to use on 

scrapbook layouts for a title.

On this card below I have used the same spot background die.

Only difference is I have cut it down slightly and have left the dots in each hole. Once die cut I added some tape behind to 

stop the spots from falling out.

Another idea to use your spot background die. I have used 

some brown ink and a blending brush and used the die as a 

stencil to add light spots on the card background. 

See the two pictures below.

 I recommend if you stencil through your die like I have. 

Use the back of the die rather than the side that cuts.

It's easier to stencil through and you won't have a problem 

if you don't clean it properly.

Thanks for stopping by, happy crafting xx

White With One - November DT Layout

Well hello there...

Today I'm sharing a DT layout that I have done for White with 1.

As soon as I saw the inspiration mood board I instantly loved 

the numbers and the diamond shapes so decided to add them on my layout.

Hope you find some time to play along. This is the second last challenge for the year, why not give it a go xx

Scrap The Girls November DT Layout

Happy November..

My goodness the time goes quicker the older you get.

Today I'm sharing the layout I did for Scrap the Girls Challenge.

This months criteria was to choose your hangover.

My hangover is wine and a cheese platter!!! Those 

two things go perfectly together, it's one of my 

favourite past times. One thing I love just as much as 

drinking wine and sharing a cheese platter with friends 

is making a cheese platter. 

What is your hangover???

Paper Rose Ultra Violet Cards

Hey Friends

Time to share some more cards with you.

On these cards I have used some papers from the new 

Ultra Violet Paper Collection 18406. They are the perfect 

size to cut in half and use on a card, and great to die cut 

and stamp on.

              

On this card I have used the gorgeous Blossom Outline Dies 18168. They have been cut out in white card stock so they stand out 

more on the bright pink paper. I have cut out a pink rectangle 

and raised it with foam tape. I love this Layered Hello Die 16951, just the perfect size to put on the front of a card.

One circle die from the Stitched Circles Dies 16548, three flowers cut from the Blossom Outline Dies 18168, a little stamped sentiment from Hello Stamp Set 17304 and a few splatters of blue distress oxide and you have this gorgeous and simple card.

 Last but not least we have this lovely card using the 

Lovely Florals - Blossoms Stamp Set 18183. These flowers have 

been stamped and then embossed with white embossing powder.

Thanks for stopping by, have a fabulous week xxx
