li"l red wagon

 Last card for today. This one is for Li'l red wagon. 

They want spring flowers. I've made this card to cheer up a friend. The sentiment says Happy Days because I wish her that. I used a small posy of tulips and tiny white lily of the valley. Very spring I think.

My background is metallic corrugated card

The male room

 I've made a man's birthday card for The male room where they want food or drink.

It features a barbecue and the word "sixty". My neighbour is turning 60 and quite often cooks BBQ so it is very appropriate. We can't actually see food on the card, but it is food related.

Allsorts challenge and Heartsquest fantasy challenge

 This card is for Allsorts challenge. where they want monochrome or anything goes. It is almost all yellow, but if not, it can be anything goes.

While I had the yellow cardboard out I also made this thank you fairy card. 

Again, I used scraps of patterned paper, then matted it on yellow card. The fairies are from Graphic 45.

I'm entering it at Hearts quest fantasy challenge.

Inspire create challenge plus Love those pretty papers.

 At Inspire create challenge they want black and white. I'm making a few thank you cards as they are always handy.

Here's my card for this challenge

My next card is for Love those pretty papers challenge.

I've used 3 smaller pieces of patterned paper on this car.It features a deer trotting through a rose garden and has gold edging down one side.

It is also a thank you card.

The paper players

 At the Paper Players they want a CAS card featuring food.

I had a filmstrip from Darkroom door featuring lollies so used that plus some foam words.

Makes me hungry just looking at it. 

Sketch and scrap throwback sketch.

 We are asked to choose one of these.

I've chosen the large circle sketch on the right.

Here's my layout.

My circle is smaller because I wanted to get that chipboard sewing machine on this layout, My photo and title are in the same place and I used a fancy edged paper on top of black to add contrast.

The story behind this that my aunt was a great dressmaker. My cousin in the photo still uses the old sewing machine. 

Colour challenge and throwback sketch.

 

I've made this layout for the colour challenge at The Scrap room.

I started by cutting 6 circles then found a strip of patterned paper featuring 3 of the colours. I bordered it with washi tape, top and bottom. After adding my photos I used 2 cocoa vanilla Bohemian Dream Flairs. The photos were taken at a strange angle so they appear crooked but they are straight on the page.

Using the same colours, I also did the throwback sketch.

I had a postcard of a sloth I bought in Costa Rica in case I didn't see sloths. I used that.
