Vintage Artistry Cards

Hi Lovelies,

 The wonderful Linda has joined us again to create some seriously stunning 
cards with the 'Vintage Artistry' collection from 49 and Market.


 Linda designed and taught these three amazing cards a few weeks ago,
and the ladies were nothing but impressed 
with how they turned out!


These papers are just perfect for fussy-cutting as there are so many 
flowers, ferns and leaves to embellish with!


To continue with the vintage theme of the collection, Linda distressed the papers and fussy-cut elements. This step is optional, yet it adds an extra element to these stunning cards.


As always with Linda, a card is never truly finished without a sweet little something inside. 
Linda used stained muslin, jute twine and a fussy-cut 
butterfly to complete this card. 


Linda's second card features a coordinating envelope embellishment to 
store an eclectic of fussy-cut elements and distressed muslin. 
How sweet!


 Anything could be added to the feature envelope depending on your taste. 
It's all about layers and fussy-cutting when 
it comes to Linda's cards!


Here's a little peak inside. 
A few strips of patterned paper, muslin and 
fussy-cutting to finish it off. 

 The final card focuses on more of the green tones from the paper range by using 
green card-stock as the base and a few hints 
of Tim Holtz distress ink.


 Every piece of paper has a purpose; even the barcode. 
Linda used this piece as a sentiment with a bit of stenciling and distressing to complete.


Linda's cards are just stunning! 
Keep your eyes out for her next class to join in the fun.
In the meantime, come down to the Scrap N Patch to pick up the 
last of these gorgeous papers before they run out!

Final wrap up of our NZ visit

We have had an amazing time visiting the South Island, and also a few days in the North at Wellington to mainly visit the WETA workshop. On Saturday the 29th Nov we flew up to Wellington for a few days to have a look about and visit the WETA workshop. Wellington did live up to its reputation of being windy. Its a nice city built around a harbor. Most things are easy walking distance from the city centre.  We took a few walks along the harbor. Elizabeth wanted to try what they call white bait. It looks like worms with eyes. It was cooked with egg. Neither of us were a great fan of this. We took the cable car up the mountain to see the sights and buy more souvenirs :).   Our main objective was to visit the WETA workshop who have lots of special effects and prosthetics used in films such as LOTR.  The shop was amazing with lots of expensive models but also prints and other items at reasonable rates. We had orders from family for few things and we also purchased a couple...

Caves Beach

Hi all, another day of exploring this terrific area. We went to visit Caves Beach today and had to do so at low tide due to the caves accessibility being blocked at high tide. The beach itself was a long and flat where the tide moves up the beach some 15-20 m from low to high. The main claim to fame are the beach caves. The water has eroded a number of small and large caves that aren't deep but very interesting. Some have swallows living within them. You can make your way around the bay by going through the cave to the next area. 1 area we had to time it so as not to get too wet as the tide washed through. After exploring the caves we wandered back to do the walk on the cliff edge (not that close). It was great to get a good view of the area. We even spoke to some fisherman who were fishing from the cliff. (yes they caught a Kingfish that we saw). We then looked up the Petrified Forest near the entrance to the Lake Macquarie , S...
