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!

New South Wales Adventure - Armidale

We today we ventured about Armidale on foot. We started at the markets having a look see at what they had at the farmers market. A few marketers so not much to see today really.

Off we walked around town to see the historical sights. Lots of old buildings from the early days.
In Armidale 100 years ago you had a choice of 21 Hotels!! Today there are 9. Sorry beer lovers.

These guys had a 4 displays of miniature figurines- really cool

Lots of churches within cooee of each other ; Catholic, C of E, Pressy, and Baptist. Lovely old buildings to be admired.

This Celtic cross was erected to commemorate the first Christian service held here in 1845.

A walk through Central Park we came across some structures to commemorate efforts of soldiers in wars.

Her is our van setup at the Showgrounds. A good walk to the amenities keeping us fit!!

Day 2 - Tin Can Bay

First an explanation - as we travel around we will be sharing our travels on our blog. A number of our family are not on facebook, so this is our way of keeping them in touch. Not totally craft related, but you never know when some craft may show up :-).

Another Day in Paradise

We were off to a bit of a late start this morning. Slept in until 8am. Life is hard :-).

We decided to take a stroll down the Kath Kelly path. We were told it was about a 30 minute walk and there was a little coffee shop at the end of the road where we could refresh before wandering back.

When we set off the first thing we noticed was that someone had pulled the plug on the ocean. The tide goes out a long way here.

The path winds along the shoreline and there are lots of signs showing the different bird life and trees. There are also a number of different pieces of exercise equipment. It is really a lovely walk.

Now okay we did amble in our walking but we were a bit shocked to find that we took nearly 2…

Day 3 - Tin Can Bay

Evening Lovelies,

This morning we set the alarm for 6.30am so that we could go down and feed the dolphins at Barnacles. It was a little chilly this morning with the temperature at 3 degrees, but the wind was a pretty gusty so it seemed cooler. My family must love me that they got out of their warm beds at that time to go and paddle in the water.

We did think that there would not be so many people there due to it being a week day, but we were wrong.

We only saw one dolphin this morning, his name is Mystique. He was the alpha of the pod and is about 28 years old. He was very gentle and a little battered as you would expect from an animal of his age. Andrew, Rob and I all took a turn at giving him a little treat.

Back to the van park for a cuppa and then Gramps gave Rob a lesson on how to put the annex up on the van.

It did not seem too hard, and hopefully Robbie will remember how to put it up next time we need it. They were thankful for Andrew's height to help when we had t…
