Neglected stuff challenge.

 At neglected stuff challenge they want us to use something that has been in our craft stash for years!

I could fill a room with that but have made another card today.

Still using the same baby boy paper but this time I added lace and ribbon down the left hand side then created a "present" using silver metallic cardstock plus pale blue ribbon.

The lace and blue ribbon have been in my stash for over 10 years. I think Mum might have bought it to make baby knitting items.  Anyway it will be another card ready for when someone has a baby boy. 

2 baby boy cards.

 In my Counterfeit kit I put some baby paper to use.

Today I made 2 cards with baby boy in mind.

This first one features 3 VERA critters which are mice doing various things and a cork sentiment. 

The pictures are like decoupage stickers and seemed suitable for a baby boy.

I'm entering this card at Critter crazy challenge.

My second card is to use a Jolee's boutique pack I've had for years.

 I cut my sentiment from a branding strip on Cocoa vanilla paper. 

New car at Lasting Memories

 While Jayzee was mumbling into his microphone at the superbowl, I spent my time making a layout.

This one is for Lasting Memories.

The challenge is horizontal papers. I started with the travel themed stamps then used 3 other paper plus a branding strip and a row of ribbon at the bottom.

I put the photo and journal card on angles to break up all the strips across.

My daughter has a new VW which she calls Black Betty. (She formerly had a red VW beetle that she called Betty beetle.)

FFF at the Scraproom and Challenge YOUrself.

 

Here's the recipe for this month's Freaky fast formula.

I chose a neutral paper which had small gold "coins" on it. The 4 squares are cut from some wedding invitation paper which is 8.5 x 11. So, we had silver and gold. The long strips are blue and wood tones (neutral). I put my Simple stories title over the 2 top strips and added some matching hearts plus a Cocoa Vanilla flair. I also added a foam cork clock from my kit.

Because it features me in the photo plus hearts, it qualifies me for Challenge YOUrself.

Inspired by that layout I went on to make a second one to match

Here they are stitched together

The Male Room

 This card is for The male room where it is monochromatic.

I used a range of papers from Kaisercraft which features this greeny grey colour. 

This can work for a birthday or Father's day. 

Ellibelle's corner

 I made this swan card for Ellibelle's corner. where they want feathers or fur.

In my case it is feathers. I found this swan picture in my stash and thought it was cute. This card might go into my Mother's Day box. I used 2 strips or offcuts from my Counterfeit kit as my background then put the swan, so it looks like it is on the water. A simple sentiment "Love you" works on here. 

Tic tac toe at Soul Scrappers

 

Here's the challenge for tic tac toe at Soul Scrappers. I decided to go across the top row.

The paper is quite busy and hard to work out what to do with it. I had a chipboard genie bottle or vase in my kit so inked it in silver. The puffy stickers are Kaisercraft curios which have a plastic dome over the top to make them 3D. Everything on here is from my kit. I used another black and silver paper for my matting.
