Sketch challenge at Soul Scrappers

 

Heres the sketch for Soul Scrappers this month.

My background paper went well with the photo so I started there. One of the layers is an ampersand paper which is difficult to use. I've hidden it well. Next was 2 of 6x6 papers with pink butterflies. The circle is another 6x6 paper. The photo mat is another. My journaling is on a large cut apart from my kit. 

After doing my title I added some bowl stacks which were in a chipboard pack I used a couple of months ago. Since scanning this layout I added a butterfly flair top left. It matches the paper,

Counterfeit kit August

 I've made a Counterfeit kit for August. Here is the original.

It is May June 2026 Embellishments Kit | Crafty Templates

May June 2026 Main Kit | Crafty Templates

I've found what I can that looks similar. Greens, yellows, florals, fruit, pompons, typewriters.

I kept summer in my mind as I searched.

I've named my kit "Summer Shines" 

Now to get cracking on some challenges.

Male room hobbies

 Today's card is for the Male Room. The theme there is hobbies.

I immediately thought of racing cars so found this die cut of a vintage racing car. The background paper is a bit busy, but the appropriate colour.  The actual card is turquoise.

As it is for a 60th birthday I will give it to a neighbour who turns 60 very soon.

Paper Issues (Friends and Fans) scraplift

 

We are asked to scraplift Kate Blue's lovely layout.

I chose pinks mainly, but added a bit of other colour with my Kaisercraft collectibles. There was a largish dream catcher which I used under my photo then some other feathered items in the 2 smaller areas.

The photo is of Mum and my daughter who had a lovely relationship.Erica came to visit Mum in the nursing home, which she really appreciated.

I finished off some enamel dots on this layout as well.

Lasting Memories

 

This is the colour palette #3 for July.

The picture took me back to a picnic get together I had with 2 friends and our babies.

I'm sure all the colours are there.

Try it on Tuesday and Beautiful blossoms.

 

In my stash is these covers from an old notebook I owned. 

I cut one piece so that the white label part is in the centre.

Next, I found a circle with scalloped edge and a watercolour painted flower garden. The pink matches the background, so I used it. My sentiment says keep smiling.

This will go into my get well cards.

I'm entering this on Try it on Tuesday

I made a 2nd card with the other piece for Beautiful blossoms.

It is going in the Mother's day cards.

Shopping our stash

 

While I'm using purple cardstock, here's another challenge that will suit. POPSICLE COLOURS at Shopping our stash.

I used a strip of the dark aqua with vellum overlaying it. The scalloped border contains popsicle colours too. The large circle sentiment is recycled but the colour is perfect. Both the lilac colours are there, one is the background. I added some enamel dots just for fun!

I had to photograph it as my scanner is playing up today.
