Feeling sketchy, Cardabilities and OUAS

A very happy hello to you, thanks for dropping by!

The card sketch for FEELING SKETCHY #74 looks like..
and the card I created using this sketch ...
and while I had those papers out I created a card for CARDABILITIES #87 which looks like..

 and my card..
And the challenge over at Once Upon A Sketch November is to use the sketch and the theme of my happy place for your journalling.
 I rotated the sketch once clockwise to suit my photo...

 After thinking about where my happy place is I thought about where am I happy? And one of many things in life that I derive that feeling of happiness is in my little kitchen.. and one of those happy occasions is Christmas.. I spend hours and hours looking for recipes and then preparing the goodies for our Christmas lunch which is usually my family my Parents and any others at a lose end for  Christmas lunch.. SO that is where I have gone with this layout..

Christmas Cooking..

I have used 2 older Kaiser ranges of papers..  And if you cant read the journalling...
"Cooking makes me happy! Especially when it is for my family. And when the roast turkey and vegs cooks perfectly - I am happy! I spend hours preparing food for Christmas. Meats, vegs, salads, sweets, slices, lots of cooking to share at Christmas.."
Yes I get a bit frazzled too but I do love my family coming home for Christmas!!

Thanks for your visit and as always I love reading your comments ...
And thanks for the wonderful response to creating for Natalie too... God bless you!!

    Great cards and amazing layout. Can I come for lunch? We have lots in common where it comes to crafting...but not where it comes to cooking. I only have a kitchen because it came with the house :-)

    Gorgeous cards and fantastic layout Lizzy!! I wanna come to your house for Christmas Dinner ... that meal looks absolutely delicious!! I'm afraid I'm not terrible keen on cooking. I try to get out of it as much as I can but I do love to have my family over for dinner and don't mind the cooking so much when that's the case. I love the colours of your cards ... really pretty ... and your page is stunning!! Love them all!! ox

    He he I'm afraid I have to chime in with Val about my kitchen, well - I do like to make pudding but not the everyday dinners. Would love to pop in on Christmas Day at your house! This is such a tactile page, I want to stick a fork into that pan and have a bite - it looks just delish! Beautifully scrapped page, love the piccie of you! Lovely lovely cards too! Thank you so much for sharing your happy place with us at OUAS!

    Wow you have been busy. LOVE the cards, Love the colour combo, I have been itching to use these colours together. Your layout is fantastic as well. I can't say I like cooking that much. I have good intentions , but it just isn't a favourite thing of mine to do.
