Recipe Swap Cards....

I had a little time on my hands and thought that I would load these pictures from the recipe swap for you all to see. This one is an extra bonus from Olwen, Fiona and Sylvia.

Thank you ladies for helping make a truly special recipe book. I love using my recipe book full of your favourite recipes. I have added my set of recipe cards into my folder and can't wait to try out these new recipes. Thank you all so much for your efforts. Gayle

This was a recent sunrise from the veranda. Enjoy while we wait.........

Just waiting for one more recipe card to come in. We won't mention any names.....??? I will try to get you all the finished recipe cards this week and your special little gift for taking part in this recipe swap. I hope that you all enjoy cooking up these recipes. Will post the photos soon.

This is not scrapping related but soon this may become the next scrapbook page. This is what I have been up to in any spare time that I have. Two kilometres of new fencing here and a bit over there.
The kids kept themslves entertained building themselves some cubbies along the fenceline.

Leanne and Judy's challenge cards

The first 4 cards belong to Leanne. The first card has a clever fold over that show's off the double sided papers.

The next 4 cards belong to Judy.

I like how other colours have come in to this swap again. (I do like lime green!!)

Thanks for taking on this challenge and creating these gorgeous cards. Yet again all the cards are different to everyone else's cards. It is so good to see so many different ways with the same papers.

Busy, busy, busy....

Hello to everyone, Want to know why we have not posted anything for some time.....well we have been living life..... Today was the opening of the Football and Netball season for school sports and we were there in fine form supporting our kids. Brooke had two kids to run around after, one at football and one at netball. I had one at netball and sat back and relaxed watching the netball in the Rec Centre. It is so much fun watching the kids have some fun. We hope that we can be more inspiring to you soon.... Don't forget the recipe swap is due at Easter. We will be at the Easter In the Country markets both days. See you all there. .....til next time have fun crafting.... Gayle

Just got these emailed to me...

These 4 lovely cards are from Sue.

If you look closely you will see some stitching on this card. I like this!!

There are still more cards to come soon so keep checking back in.

Challenge photos...(ta da)

We have still got a few more challenge photos to get back.....but I could not wait any longer to show what has already been made. I will upload more challenge cards as they become available. So for now enjoy this set.......

Love the olive in the cocktail glass.......

Love the cobwebs.....This is a close up of the detail on the cobweb card. Brooke has used glossy accents on the web to give it the shiny appearance.

Brooke also used glossy accents over the lines to give it some dimention and gloss.

The photo has made the words a little hard to read, it says....a daughter is.....

Once again I would like to thank you all for taking part in this challenge and making it so much fun. I have loved looking at all the different creations. AND WOW what a variety of differing ideas we got.

(The photo's are in no particular order, I did try to group cards from the one creator but that was not too successful. Very sorry about that.)

3 Circles makes.....

....One of these cute little flowers.

Have a go in all different sizes.

So easy and fun to make.

Punch out your circles, fold two in half, place one circle in the centre of the two folded circles and adhere together. Make a stalk for the flower. I have used paper for my stalks, another idea would be the leaf ribbon. Add some doodling around the shapes for definition and around the edge of your card.

18 so far....

It's all very exciting. I have already got 18 cards back from ladies doing this challenge. Not one is the same, they have all got some really great card making ideas on them. I can't wait to share the photo's with you all.

Challenge update....

Thanks for taking part in our challenge. I hope that you will have as much fun as Brooke and I in doing so. I find it fun to do challenges as it expands my creativity making me do things that I would not normally do. I know that when I saw these papers I did have a little mental block, but after the first cut into the paper I was right.
I don't want to stress you too much with deadlines for the challenge so when we have the majority back here we will upload the photos onto the blog. Maybe a week or two?? No pressure it is meant to be fun.
So...... go....... have some fun creating....
Gayle
