Spring/Summer Coffee Lovers Blog Hop 2020 Post #6


This is my sixth post in the Spring/Summer Coffee Lovers Blog Hop 2020!

In the last three Coffee Lovers Blog Hops, I completed 20 posts, including little competitions with prizes -
 This time, we are in the process of moving house - and I am definitely not going to make 20 posts. I will try and make 10 - but I spent all today unpacking my craft stuff into my new craftroom. This is the start:


Not much time to make anything!!

I am adding trivia questions with the chance to win a prize or two - so please keep calling and commenting - thank you to those of you who have answered the questions so far - hope you are having fun!!

This is this post's new make:



While I was sorting through my boxes I came across this background scrap - I trimmed it to fit a kraft card blank. I thought it was quite appropriate as it is Autumn here in Australia and the leaves are definitely falling!

I also came across this Arabic coffee pot and cup stamp set - bought when I lived in Abu Dhabi - and as Ramadan finished a few days ago I thought this was apprpriate too... I just stamped directly on the background with black Versafine.



My trivia question for Coffee Lovers Hop Post #6 is:


In Italy, during the 16th century coffee was banned as being…

A. Over-stimulating

B. Satanic

C. Unhealthy

Please email your answer to susanrenshaw0404@gmail.com
Names of everyone emailing me a correct answer during the hop
will go in the hat for the opportunity to win a prize...
 Winners to be announced shortly after the hop...


Happy Crafting!



LeighSBDesigns Halloween in May Blog Hop - Entry #12


Once again Leigh is hosting a Halfway to Halloween Half-O-Ween Blog Hop - find more details here...

So I am gradually unpacking the 20 or so craft boxes - we shipped about 50 boxes from the UK of which a quarter were my craft stuff!
And I came across my scrapbook - so I saw 'an eerie tale' coming on!


I had a few scraps of graphic 45's Botanical Tea Collection 'You Bewitch me' so these became the left hand side of the page, while the right hand side is one of my photos that I printed.
I also added a die cut which emphasise some of the words on the paper.


I added two of Leigh's images coloured with Copics and cut out...


and




I will link this page to the Something Wicked this way comes post.




Happy Half-o-ween!

Here's my make for the Challenge at Addicted to Stamps and More

Do pop over and see my teamies' makes!!

Today I have a never ending card to share - this the last one in a series of these that I have made recently. It comprises 4 views which unfold to show the next one and then go back to the beginning.



  The paper I used comes from crafterschoice Minerals 12 by 12 paper pad, adhered in sections to a terracotta textured card base.


I cut the pelicans using my Cricut ( downloading some silhouettes from the internet) and then adding the fineliner.



I made a video talking about this card:



 Thank you for watching!

Hope to see your make in the Challenge!!



Happy Crafting!
