Getting Retro in the Heat

Good morning all,

Well, the stinking heat does absolutely nothing for the mojo I discovered yesterday. This was the inside of my car at 2.19pm:

Apart from the need to clean my car, you'll also see it was a whopping 47C, Sydney's hottest day since records began. Phew, makes me want to hop on the plane and fly back to Old Blighty for a cool down and a hot cup of English tea!

Anyway, I really did the simplest card last night, based on the colour scheme at CR84FN and a sketch at Retro Sketches:

Couldn't get more CAS than that could you, but like I said the mojo had melted away in the heat. You can just see a My Minds Eye lace stamp peeping out from under the patterned papers. I loved the sketch and will definitely be using it again for some quick cards in the future.

Thanks for stopping by - hope you don't freeze or melt, wherever you live!

Going Retro

Hello again bloggers,

Just a quick post to show you what I've done for the Retro Sketches challenge this week. It's the first time I've done this challenge and I loved the sketch. I'm sure it will be one I go back to again and again, particularly as it's a good one to use up all those scraps:

As it's a blokey card I kept it very clean and simple, with a mix of October Afternoon and Studio Calico papers.

Thanks for stopping by,
