Christmas Card Throwdown and Cardz4guyz

At Christmas card throwdown there is a theme challenge.
The theme is to use a non-traditional image.

I started by fussy cutting around 3 children carrying gifts.They're meant to represent the 3 wise men, but obviously aren't.Therefore they're non traditional.
I mounted them on a gingham checked paper.
The strip across the bottom features cherries, again non traditional.

At Cardz4guyz they want transport. I've made this Fathers Day card using 3 stickers featuring vintage cars. The sentiment means it will be suitable for any male.

Mystical requirement challenge and CKC sketch challenge.

Here's the sketch at CKC.
Mystical has a requirement challenge which is light and dark colors, metallic and sparkle.
I've used more gold vine on this layout plus a gold glitter frame. My other embellishments are buttons and felt clouds. Everything on here is from my counterfeit kit.

Mystical cyber crop challenges

There are 3 challenges at Mystical scrapbooks.
The first is a mood board.

I chose the snowy road picture and worked in shades of grey,silver and yellow.

The 2 doileys, ribbon and alphas are from my Counterfeit kit.

Next is a tic tac toe

I've decided to go across the top row.

I used 2 floral papers from my Counterfeit kit. The top one features a shaped blue paper from Ruby-rock-it August Moon range.

How appropriate that I'm scrapping on the 50th anniversary of the moon landing!

I've also used 2 doileys , as well as a pleated gold circle and spotted paper behind the photos ,and the alphas from my Counterfeit kit. In fact the only thing that isn't kit is the wood veneer mushrooms.

I inked those with inca gold.

Pinspire me at Paper Issues

Here's the pinterest board we use to inspire our layout.

I started with a red and white striped paper but also found tiny spots (similar to the 100s and 1000s on the strawberries), a tiny red gingham (like the umbrella) and a red and gold star mulberry paper.
I added gold touches including half a doiley and alphas.

 

I saw this layout on scrapbook.com and have decided to scraplift it using my papers.

 Here's my layout:

Scraproom and paper issues combo.

I'm combining 2 challenges on this layout . One is Scraplift Saturday from Paper Issues facebook group and the other is the scraproom SPARKLE challenge.

I've used S=stars, spectacular, spectacles
                P=pink alphas
                A=arrows
                 R= ribbon
                 K=knotted twine
                 L=layers, love
E=enamel dots,embossed paper,envelope

And here's the layout we need to scraplift

 Here's my layout documenting a car trip we did in NZ.

Challenge #1 plus Let's scrap sketches and Mystical

Let's scrap sketches has this

I've chosen to use the left hand sketch on its own for Challenge #1 at CKC ,which is blueberries.

I'm celebrating one of my favourite pastries, blueberry Danish, and using one of the papers from this month's counterfeit kit.(plus scraps for the pennants).

I had fun making this layout and using up 2 ribbons in my stash as well as a blue Flourish with a bling embellishment. My alphas are sparkly which gives it more depth and I matted my photos on a paler blue.
As those FWAB are almost black I'm also entering this at Mystical scrapbooks 

Here's the layout!

ABC Christmas challenge

ABC Christmas challenge has N for no peeking and O for ornament.

This card features a mouse peeking out next to a pile of presents. So P for peeking.

The background is vellum on white cardstock and I made the tag.
