Happy New Year! Outlawz Songs and Rhymes January 5

 

Have you found the home of the Outlawz Sunday Song & Rhyme Challenge yet?

I do hope you will go and check it out! 

This challenge has no sponsors, but you do have the opportunity to win a top 3 badge.

Now on to the challenge!

 

Our Song/Rhyme this fortnight is from me

This is my card - inspired by New Year!

The image is from Vintage Image Craft

The card is made using a shaped card attached to a normal card blank.

I added the image on a DP mat. The sentiments were printed on the computer and added to a die cut from the same DP. Finally I added three small bows.

If you haven't already, please join our 

Outlawz Challenges Facebook FAN Page

and The Outlawz Challenges MAIN blog 

to stay up with all the challenges.

Thanks for playing along!

Happy Crafting!

Well - we are back home and still helping Sophie sorting out her new house. My desk just looks like a huge mess - my next job is to tidy up!

I have shared my Gecko Galz Mini album today but I will add more information on the 14th...

We spent our New Year's Eve at the theatre watching School of Rock,

Hope you have had a good New Year!

It is Wednesday so I am linking to WOYWW at Sarah's craft shed

Follow the link to find out more about What's on Your Work Desk Wednesday and maybe join in... This is my post for WOYWW #812 

Just popping in to wish everyone a merry Christmas and a happy new year! 

(To amuse some of you 2025 is 45 squared)

No desk to show you as we arrived at the holiday house on Saturday and although I have done a bit of crafting I didn't take a picture in progress. I did the journal page in the featured post...

And I have made a couple of mini albums - I will share these in the New Year!

This was a little make in a Christmas cracker which I cut out:

The holiday house has a huge pirate statue in the corridor so we decided to make that into the Christmas 🎄 

But we did bring some festive bits which we managed to put up:

At this stage it is 9 pm so we are recovering from a day of sun and a large lunch - BBQ, oysters, prawns, salads and vegetables. All eaten outside...

And just a cheese platter...

Hope you have had a good day!

Happy WOYWW and Happy Crafting

 and season's greetings!

Creative Warriors Inspiration Team - New Term #16

 

This is my next inspiration for the Creative Warriors Inspiration Team 

with Michelle Grant Designs

You will see our inspirational creations on the Facebook Group

I have made this whilst staying at a holiday house for Christmas so this page has been made using the few things I brought with me:

  a page from my Art by Marlene 'perfect size' journal,

3 colours of distress oxides and blending brushes,

A stencil,

Black soot Distress,

3 wallpapers from my MGD drawer,

A commercial Christmas card from last year.

Layer 1

Background using distress oxides, blending brushes and stencil. Black soot distress ink around the edges.

Layer 2

Trees made from strips of Designer paper, black soot around the edges and to shadow.

These hide journalling spaces. They could flip up but I chose to stick them down.

Layer 3

Stars and letters from the old Christmas card.

Merry Christmas!!

Happy Crafting!
