Paper Issues sketch

 

This is also using papers from my Counterfeit kit.

I doodled the daisies and fussy cut the flowers that stick out.

It was for a sketch at Paper Issues. 

Daring Cardmakers

 At Daring Cardmakers they want male cards.

These 2 pictures from an old children's annual have been hanging around my craft room for ages, so I decided to use them.

The 2 boys loading up a sled or toboggan with logs in the snow certainly suggest winter.

In this card there's a good old-fashioned game of blind mand bluff.

Using scraps Scraplift

 I followed Tatra's post om you tube and created a copycat layout.

Iron Crafter - May 2024 - SCRAPS (youtube.com)

I used items in my kit on here and worked as close as I could to the original.

I'm so pleased to use some of the scraps,.and the American crafts very busy paper. I must admit I find those papers overwhelming. 

I mixed my alphas to try to use up those black ones. I used foam tabs to make the 2 tags/pockets stand up from the background. I found the chipboard buttons handy to cover up a tear in the paper. My 2 leaves don't exactly match but they both look okay on the top left as they're facing the same way. 

The black section goes all the way around but of course the scanner chopped it off.

Make my Monday

 I've made this card for Make my challenges where they want florals.

I used a bright floral pattern paper then added some daisy lace down the side of the card.

(It actually came from my sister's wedding dress in the 1970s).

It is a bright cheery card that most people would appreciate!

I'm also entering this at The Paper funday challenge where they want flowers

Blast Off

 At soul scrappers they have a blast off challenge.

Each month we are asked to use that recipe to create a layout.

Here's mine for this month. I don't have sequins so used blue water droplets.

High Tea double

 Yesterday I created a double layout using more of my Counterfeit kit.

I had the menu from the high tea plus 7 photos.

I used 2 papers featuring teacups and teapots which you can hardly see now they're done. Then I used 2 large heart-shaped doileys as a mat for my photos. After arranging the photos where I wanted, I added some chipboard buttons and uniquely creative stickers. My title was spread across the 2 pages. My final item was a small pink circular journal card.

Here are the separate pages.

Farmquest

 It's time for making another card before I go to bed. Farmquest wants a rolling pin.

I recently had some playing cards so made ASTs with cooking themes.

One of them I used on this card.

I inked the chipboard sentiment with pinecone to match the rolling pin. I made this card to thank my neighbour who often brings me a scone or some cake that she makes.
