V is for 'Vegemite'

 

Over at Just Add Ink the current challenge is to

create a project with the letter V

Details are Here

 

 

Now you may ask where my V is?

When I read the post the first thing that stood out was

VEGEMITE! What's this you say?

It is a yeast extract that us Aussie's love to put on toast.

My favourite is to add avocado with it - yum!

Now I know a lot of people can't stand the strong taste

but I spread it lightly not like my hubby who

smothers his toast with it.

 

The next thing that came to mind was the word

VACATION so I got out one of my favourite

SU sets called Feeling Sentimental and the

phone booth reminds me of the red British ones

so what better stamp to use when you are

over the other side of the world

on VACATION without your VEGEMITE?

The colours I used are part of the theme -

you see Vegemite comes in a jar or tube is

brown in colour and yellow is on the jar so I used

SU Yo Yo Yellow & Close to Cocoa.

 

Other products used are -

Background are stencils from

Tim Holtz - Speckles

Clear Scraps - Chevrons

Sentiment - Gina K Designs Country Roads

I picked this to go with the strip behind the

yellow cotton - I need my VEGEMITE

typed up on my laptop.

Did some distressing to match the stamped image

and finished with a tiny button tied with some

more yellow cotton.

 

Sorry this is a long posting but needed to

explain a little about our Vegemite.

 

My card certainly isn't what most people would be thinking

with the chosen letter - but I sure had fun with it.

 

Thanks for dropping in.
