Joy of sets ,Reverse confetti and cupcake inspiration.

At Joy of Sets here is the tic tac toe challenge


I've gone across the top line and made a birthday card for an 8 year old.

I've also entered it at Reverse Confetti challenge
                                                               ******************
Using the same background paper I made this card featuring a bicycle for Cupcake inspirations

As you like it challenge

At As you like it challenge they want Purple plus one other colour.
I've chosen cream because I always feel these 2 colours look nice together.

Case this sketch! and others.

At Case this sketch this is the current one.

I found one sheet of green card, so have used it on this card as my background.
The strip across and the pink oval are diecuts.
I used a black and white offcut as my background for the cream number.
Finally, I added 2 tiny brads.

I also entered it at Cute card Thursday 
                                    *********************************
Next, Is Sweet sketch Wednesday where they have 2 sketches to choose from.
I'm choosing Sketch #183.



I'm also adding this on Through the purple haze

I had a set of stickers for little boys, I think from Bo Bunny, so used some of those on here.

Crafty Calendar challenge.

More cards this morning.
My first is for Crafty Calendar challenge where the theme is black and white.
I used 4 offcuts plus some sticker numbers from an October Afternoon set of Alphas, now almost used up.

Some male cards

At Cardz4guyz they want a vintage card.

 I started with a plain piece of Kraft cardstock and inked it with vintage paper distress ink.
Next I found scraps of papers featuring the gold rushes in 1851, plus some other with printing and another with a train. I cut these to size and arranged them on my card with the gold nugget being a feature.
I have a male friend who lives in Ballarat where gold was discovered in 1851,starting the gold rush. This will be perfect for his birthday! My sentiment says "so many candles, so little cake".

My next is for The Male Room where the theme is in the garden.

You can't go wrong with a thank you card.

I kept it simple but it has a garden look about it.

Here's 2 more I made just for fun.

With Mother's Day and Easter being no good for card sales this year, I'm now doing Father's Day.

Alphabet Challenge

At Alphabet challenge this week they asked for checks.

I searched through my bag of scraps and came up with this card, which features 2 different checked papers.

Mystical cyber crop.

Mystical scrapbooks has a cyber crop this weekend.

The first is a sketch challenge and the theme is food.

I used another citrus paper (my last) to do the right hand page of this sketch.
There are only 2 photos so the other space contains a lemon and orange wedge.
I made the lemon by using a circle then drawing segments and I used full stops from my alphas to be my pips.
The vine is from Flourish with a bling and looked good beside the photo of lemons on a tree.
I even used a stamp from the set I included in my kit. The stamp says "Love it".

Next there is a mood board

Initially, I was inspired by the colours in the unicorns, plus the swirly effect.
I used metallic shades paint by Li'l Davis as my background, then misted with purple in 2 areas.
The cannoli picture led to the rolled paper on the right hand side.
Then the layered cake with flowers on top helped me with matting using berry colours.
I found flowers in mauve, white and red so added those top left. There is also a smaller vine from the FWAB in the last layout.

Finally I added my title. The W is crooked but can't straighten it as the chipboard alpha is separating and will remain stuck on the paper. I also added a small journalling card.
