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!

 Hi all, Here a brief overview of our 2 day adventure on Fraser Island with Fraser Island Explorer Tours. Here is a link to our trip in video format.  https://youtu.be/QY8tr093G4o We were picked up from our accommodation by our tour guide who then picked up some more of our group and headed to the barge to go across to the Island. It was very smooth no seasickness this time :) We got on the 4x4 wheel bus and headed inland to Lake Mackenzie. This was a very picturesque spot. The water was very cool and the sand as white as we've seen it. After this we headed to Central station , the old tree clearing head quarters. Next we headed for Lake Wobby which was a 45 min trek in and 45 out across lots of sand. It sits on a big sand-blow which will eventually disappear. A small fresh water lake with a couple of cat fish in it. Then off to our accommodation for the night. The next day we headed out to run the beach pretty much all day heading all the way up to Champagne Pools. We eventually w

Hervey Bay and the case of the missing whales.

 Hi lovelies, It has been some 8 months since our last post.  Travel around the world has certainly changed in 2020. We had not planned to do too much traveling in the first half of the year, but we quickly discovered that us making that decision and the government telling us that we won't are two very different things. :-). Feeling the need for a bit of a break, and a touch of fishing we headed for Hervey Bay on Wednesday. We had a great drive up, even managed to stop for a quick chat with the lovely Shirley in Cooya.   On Thursday we headed for a quick trip to the information centre.  To my surprise Robbie wanted to book another whale watching cruise.  We spoke at length to the agent there and finally chose what was supposed to be the calmest day for the next week.  It was then off for a drive along the coast line from Point Vernon to Urangan.   The day was beautiful, though there were large patches of mist/fog that hung around some of the coast.  We had a lovely wander along the

New South Wales Adventure - Tenterfield

Hi lovelies, A little earlier start this morning than yesterday.  We were up having a lovely breakfast by 8am.   It was a little sad this morning as we said goodbye to Steph and Leo.  We have had such a blessed time with them and we look forward to catching up with them again when we head to South Australia next year. As the weather was drizzly today we decided to head off to visit some of the nearby National Parks.  Our day consisted of dirt roads, mossy paths, lots of kangaroos and very few cars.  Gramps we are very sorry but the O Mobile is in great need of a bath.  If it rains tonight I will be sending Robbie out in his swimmers to give it a wash. Our first stop was to see Thunderbolts Hideout.  It is a short walk through some bush to see where this apparently "gentlemanly" bushranger hid. It was then back into the car and off to see the Tank Traps that were part of the Brisbane Line.  It is a fairly visually unimpressive place for such an important part
