Echo Park teenagers number 5

IMG_1774 (Medium)Todays card made with echo park teenagers paper collection is based on the game tetris..I just cut out the squares from one of the papers, and stuck them onto the card front. A bit of corner rounding and some layering of paper and cardstock and this was a really quick and easy card to make! I have spent most of the day in the craft room using up some old papers, and listening to ABC radio where there has been constant updates on the bushfires that are burning out of control on the very outskirts of our beautiful town. Many of my friends and a couple of relatives have had to evacuate from their homes, and it has been a worrying day for all of us here in Adelaide.The weather til now has been extremely hot, although as I type the wind is raging, temperature has dropped a little and I hear thunder in the distance. Let’s hope there is a lot of rain with that thunder! Til tomorrow…

Echo Park Teenagers 3 and 4

IMG_1772 (Medium)IMG_1773 (Medium)Two cards today, because I don’t think I will get back here tomorrow .. I have a really long day at work getting ready for the back to school sale..always something!… Todays two cards are still made using Echo park teenagers paper collection. as I mentioned before, I only bought a couple of sheets of this collection,but if I see it again I will be buying more as it is so easy to make those difficult teen boy cards with this paper. The bottom card has a bit of fussy cutting, and I layered everything with Stampin up cardstock – tangerine tango and Mossy meadow which matches in perfectly with the colours. For now though, it’s back to the craft room where the decluttering has commenced, although I must admit I get very easily distracted so it could be quite a long job and you may be seeing some cards made with older paper collections in the near future! til tomorrow ….
