Creative Fingers

 Creative fingers is a new challenge blog for me. It is anything goes, so I made another male card because Fathers' Day is coming up here in Australia.

I kept it simple by using 2 random playing cards and a pre-prepared sentiment.

Farmquest desert challenge.

 At Farmquest they wanted things found in a desert.

I've made this layout using strips of paper plus 2 photos of butterflies I saw in Arizona. I misted the background using 2 different colours. I also added some wood veneer butterflies and chipboard fleur de lis that I painted and stamped.

Outlaws challenge

 At the Outlaws challenge they want us to upcycle or recycle. 

In my case I've done a bit of both.

Someone gave me some racing car stickers they had from a deceased estate clearance. I found 2 scraps of grey/black papers that aren't very pretty so used those as my base. On the first I added a yellow "ladder" shape which someone at a crop had used to punch out squares then threw away the ladder.

I added the ladder down the side then scattered the racing cars on my card. Added a sentiment and it is done.

On the second one I covered the words on the background with strips of blue paper. Then added the two biggest racing cars and the sentiment.

All made from scraps that would have been thrown out otherwise. 

Cardz 4 Guyz

 At Cardz 4 guyz they want metallic. 

I've chosen a silver backed card with kraft mat, plus 2 large metal brads for eyes a small black brad for a nose and a paper moustache.

My daughter's friend is into space and aliens etc so this will suit him for a birthday card. 

Soul scrappers Blast Off

 

Here's the Blast off criteria for July.

I decided to scrap some Christmas photos from a couple of years ago. 

They are the food and presents from that day. I thought "No limits" was appropriate since we all over- indulge. I cut 3 of the photos down to a smaller size. Everything required is there except enamel dots. I used 2 small Christmas theme brads instead.

Lasting Memories -Spring
