52CCT

I think I've now caught up!


October 11th  challenge was to make a card using these colours :-

The card I made was very quick and simple (A one layer card) as short of time...

The week before that was a sketch. Sorry ladies but the sketch doesn't do it for me so I've made a card and will bin it as its horrid!

Then the last week of September stash challenge was to use Diamonds & Pearls. I use d diamonds only.

 Then onto this weeks challenge:-

A card which went completely wrong! I went with it anyway....a stamping disaster and rescued in a way I'm not happy with so another card for the bin no doubt!

SFC 27th October

The challenge for us this week is to create anything but a card. So here's a scrapbook page! I cant remember exactly how old my daughter is in this old photo and as I'm a bit OCD about being correct I'm going to journal later!

I thought she looked really cute in this hat. This was a time when everything just HAD to be pink! Looking at the page now I might just add some flowers to the chipboard scrolls later.

Wedding and New Baby Cards

I love weddings and who doesn't like making a baby card! Its been so nice to make a couple of cards other than birthday cards!

First up a card for Philip and Jeanette (only on special cards do I get my sewing machine out)

And then for someone at my hubs office who's just had a baby girl. How cute is this!

52 CCT

Ooh dear...I've let 52CCT slip so lots of catching up to do! I did make this "Nordic" themed card in the week of the challenge and didn't realise until too late that I hadn't uploaded it! silly me. Anyway, here it is!

This week its to make a one layer card. Always tricky a one layer only. I dug out my JOFY stamp set and stamped a plain white card stock base with the headless snowman. Coloured in with a Wink of Stella silver pen although the glitter doesn't show in the photo, plus red & blue marker pens (& orange for his nose)

Now I've only got 3 weeks to catch up on!

Bo Bunny Scrapbook Pages

Wow what gorgeous papers in this months kit from Bo Bunny Prairie Chic collection. I've made up four layouts. I've used my own pink and turquoise card stock.

I was determined to use those welly boots!

Look at me with my handbag and cardi!

Just need to add some journalling

Using up the remaining "bits"

October House of Cards

This month our challenge on House of Cards is to make a card using dies and punches. Well that's easy for me cos I have loads! Rather than pile them onto my card I decided "less is more" although I did use quite a few!

Crumbcake cardstock as my base card. I stamped a few circles on the front using W&W stamp set Big Bang Confetti and inked the edges. The sentiment is from Stampin Up's Just Sayin set. Then I pucnhed and die cut to create a layered look & finished off with a bow and some buttons.

Dies:- Stampin Up Deco Labels, Word Bubbles Framelits
Punches:- 1 3/8, 1 and 3/4 inch circles punches

Stamps + Fun = Creativity

This weeks challenge is "For a Man or Boy" so I made a scrapbook page of my son. Lots of cirlces cut from patterned paper I think from a Studio Calico kit but I cant be sure! Clean and simple (also quick!) page.......

Stamps+Fun=Creativity

This weeks challenge is to create something using the following sketch.

So rather than a card I decided to do a scrapbook page. This a a re-scrap of an old layout that I was never happy with so I ripped it to bits and started again! The paper range is Tilda. Inked using Ranger Victorian Velvent ink. All elements cut from the patterned paper stack. The ribbon is also from the same range by Tilda. A few buttons and hidden journalling.
