Odd

My entry for the Scrummy Stash Cafe this week. Had a class to follow this time, I didn't have all the bits, so a lot of this is making it up as I go along!



I've mainly used Crate Paper, with a little bit of Scenic Route and some lace cardstock.

Picture taken in Silver City, New Mexico. One of the oddest places I've ever been.

Carriage

The challenge this week at the Scrummy Stash Cafe was to scrap your favourite artist/band/song. I wanted to scrap Counting Crows and luckily I was able to do so by using their song Carriage! Yay! Still filling up my USA album and getting challenges done at the same time.

Picture taken in Tombstone, this was our carriage tour guide. I loved Tombstone, it was such fun and I wish we'd had longer there. We only went there as an afterthought.

I've made this for the UKScrappers November Week 2 Challenge.

We had to use the sketch they provided, use rik rak, brads and the colours pink, white and green. I had to go digital with it because I don't own any rikrak at the moment.

Meteor Crater

Made for the latest Scrummy Stash Cafe challenge. I've been wanting to practice doodling, so this was a good chance to do that.

Used Crate Paper stuff and some Thickers.

Even more holiday digitals!

Silver City, New Mexico


Very odd place, but attractive at the same time.

I love that all the supermarkets have stacks of large pumpkins outside, inside... just brilliant.

YES!!!!

I'm so happy right now. Well done America, you made the right choice. The polar bears and fruit flies thank you.

My entry into the Scrummy Stash Cafe challenge this week. I've used more new travelling papers for this layout. Teresa Collins this time.

Santa Fe


We stayed at the Canyon Motel & RV park in Williams. They had lots of old railway carriages dotted around the park that were fitted up to stay in, but we just stayed in a regular cabin.

Pumpkins!

I carved my pumpkin last night (pics to follow) using the tools and stencil book that I bought while I was in the states. SO much easy having proper scoops and saws rather that trying to do it all with a kitchen knife! Next year I think I might try for something a little trickier, maybe get more that one pumpkin.

In the meantime, proper pumpkin carving by Linda Elbourne. Perhaps I'll be as good as her one year if I try my hardest and have more pumpkins to practice on. :)

Today I'm going to get stuck in to my Halloween papers and scrap some of those Tucson scarecrows.

Hamlet

Another week, another entry for the Scrummy Stash Cafe! This was a challenge to use up your scraps - although, having cut scraps from scraps I now have even more scraps... ah well.

I'm well aware that this sculpture doesn't really scream "Hamlet!" I scrapped the Midsummer Night's Dream sculpture back in August and that was a bit more obvious. Just the Macbeth one to do now.

Stratford

I made this for the first challenge on Cleo Crafts blog. I took it in evening sunlight, so it's cast some long shadows!

Whoops!

Made this for the current Scrummy Stash Cafe challenge - to use checks / grid.

Well, you can see that the ribbon has checks. The paper is Sassafrass Lass and has a grid on it - but the evening sun has pretty much washed it out. :( 'Tis there, though, you must trust me on that!

This was the day that John fell bottom-first into a rock pool on a cold day in Cornwall. Took a lot of begging to get him to turn round for the shot. He looked a lot wetter in real life.

The flourish is supposed to look like a splash, but has come out looking like a flower - meh!
