At the sisterhood of crafters they want stripes and dots.
I decided to make a Christmas card.
The paper is striped and the ribbon bow has dots. I think this will appeal to most people.
Next card is for Time out challenges
I used 3 :- Transport, stars, stripes.
I had a photo of my daughter with her Dad, so used it on the following layout.
Instead of a second photo I used a journalling card. The whole page is from Simple Stories.
I was pleased to use another grey hessian flower plus a lacy flower I cut from a card.
At Cardz 4 guyz they want summer holidays themed cards.
I used vellum on this after putting it through my cuttlebug embosser. It conjures up morning swims at the seaside to me. The cute fish at the bottom could suggest fishing holidays also.
The male room wants cats or dogs.
I found some smaller pieces of October afternoon papers and decided to use them on a card.
Obviously, this is a birthday card for a 2 year old.
Over at My time to craft they want 2 or more patterned papers. I used 3 on this card.
It is bright and colourful and could work for either male or female.
This second card is for Ellibelle's Corner where it is anything in a garden. I found a die cut of some flowers so layered papers and a tag under it in pretty colours.
I've used an old black and white photo of me in Kindergarten.
I had lots of fun gluing flowers etc on this.
Here's a layout I made today. It was sparked by that airmail envelope which came as an advertising mail. I put the camera over the writing and here it is!
I matched it as closely as I could and used faux stitching.
At Li'l red wagon they want cats on a card.
I've found a cat asleep on a cushion and made a birthday card. I used the red,white and blue theme.
At Shopping our stash I found this rather large wood veneer ornament but decided to use it on a card.
I thought it could be later taken off the card by the recipient and hung on their Christmas tree.
That's another way to recycle.
At my time to craft they want us to use fibre. This can include twine, ribbon, embroidery cotton, fabric etc.
The word 'fabric' reminded me I had some bright fabric with frogs on. I used Jack paper to adhere it to my card then added a journal square for my sentiment and some matching washi tape.
It will be a good card for children as it is bright and colourful.
I used my kit to make this layout of my daughter dressed as a sheep.
This 3rd one was for another challenge involving fussy cutting.
This final one made me use lots of bits and pieces. The wood veneer leaves I bought recently in a specials bin, the buttons were old, the J was a cut out one from when I first learnt scrapbooking 20 years ago and the butterfly stickers are new. The word paradise has been hanging around for a couple of years, it was from Kaisercraft set I had. Best of all was the paper which is a long-term resident on my scrap shelf.
Time to catch up on my layouts from this kit.
The first one was for Sketches in Thyme.
I used landscape photos but followed the sketch closely otherwise.
This month it is my turn to choose a kit.
I had an idea to do a look back at old kits we did years ago and repeat one as a
FLASHBACK MONTH
Here's the kit I've chosen
Click here to see my original interpretation of that kit.
A couple of things I noticed back then was the Blackboard trend with black matte papers you could write on. The other was flairs and brads which I used a lot of back then.
Without further Ado here's my kit this time around. I've named it CALYPSO DAYS
PAPERS
STAMPS
