Baby use those scraps

 I finished my Counterfeit kit early.

Here is what I had left over. As you can see there's not much!

From this I managed to make 2 cards. My first was for Tic tac toe

I went across the middle row. Although not whole cameras, the strip of stamped cameras was enough I thought. My sentiment is large enough I think and was in my kit. There are blue, yellow, brown plus black and white.

My second card is for Cardz 4 guyz. The theme is boats.

I tore the blue to look like the sea then placed a small card I had featuring a boat.

3 layouts and a catch up.

 Here are my 3 latest layouts using my counterfeit kit.

On this one I used wedding patterned paper cleverly disguised by adding teabag stain and pinecone ink I dounle matted the photo then placed a scrap of inked paper on the left hand side and tucked a tag under the right. The feather embellishment on corrugated card is from a coffee cup holder.

I used 2 ready-made words with my own printing in between. The butterflies are from my stash.

Next is this one which was for a sketch challenge at Paper Issues. I was able to use quite a lot of the offcut branding strips. I fussy cut the 2 stamped cameras from a scrap and added some tiny TLC tags and shapes.

The third one is another sketch from Soul Scrappers.

It had 2 photos, but I used one plus a tag I created last year. It had a nature theme and the colours matched.

The chipboard row of flowers was painted with metallic paint.I used washi tape under that.

Freaky Fast formula

 

Here is this month's Freaky fast formula at the scrap room.

I used 3 of the 4 papers for layering then the 4th one as a large mat for my photo.I used one of my altered playing cards as an embellishment. The butterfly went with the garden theme. The J for my name and the map paper for travelling.

Challenge YOUrself and sketches in Thyme.

 I made the camera paper by repeat stamping. This is for Forgeries on the fourth at Counterfeit Kit.

I cut part of it to add to this layout.

also on there is another piece of paper I made by inking with "old paper" through a mask. I inked the wood veneer tag using "lavender" ink and dribbled "Tattered Angels" glimmer mist on my paper.

That's me in the pink top with the red face. It was hot in that restaurant. 

Here's the Challenge Yourself picture

Double layout of my fence

                                           

Today I made a double layout. I document changes I make to my house and make an album.

I recently got a new fence so put the pictures into these layouts.

The left hand side is for a sketch at Sketch n scrap. I used the left over papers on the right hand side.

I'm happy with how these turned out.

Seize the birthday and sisterhood of snarky stampers

 At Seize the birthday  the challenge is black and white. I decided to look through my scrap bag and made this card using 3 strips of left over patterned papers. My sentiment is re-using a birthday card wish.

I will give it to my great nephew who is turning 25 soon.

Over at The sisterhood of snarky stampers they want aliens.

I just happened to ut out one from a piece of black and white paper yesterday so can do this challenge.

Here's my card.

As it is a Thank you card, I didn't get snarky.

I started with a list based on the total kit.

birds

butterfly

globe

cactus

heart

envelope 

books

spectacles

 clips

 dreams

 camera.

I have a bag of birds and butterflies so will source those there. (cut from old greeting cards)

I added hearts, envelopes, books, spectacles, dreams and camera. The others I need to hunt out.

Anyway, here's my moderate kit.

                                                Colourful carnival

It is quite small as I don't have anything in particular to scrap.

My papers are mainly brand names (unusual for me). I forged one.

my embellishments are as follows

I included the 3 typewriters I have, several washi tapes, a bling swirl and flower I recently won as well as chipboard flowers. Not too much alphas as I have 2 lots of words to use.Also a heap of journal cards that relate.
