Soul Scrappers BOLD challenge

 I used one of my forgeries for a BOLD layout with BOLD title. The paper suited this challenge.

The best part was I got to use up some big alphas I had for about 15 years.

The pyramid shape is obvious in Chiapas everywhere!

March Counterfeit kit

 The March kit is Cocoa Daisy Feb 2026 kit called Inklings

The emphasis in this kit is artists tools and paint.

I had a look through my stash and couldn't find much at all so I did some major counterfeitting.

Here's my March papers.

7 of them are Counterfeited.

I also didn't have many embellishments but gathered together a collection of things that will work in with my papers.

I have plain gold thickers as my alphas and will add other embellishments as required.

Seize the birthday

 At Seize the birthday they want anything with wings.

I've made a card for a new baby girl (Birth day).

I added 2 fussy cut butterflies around the sentiment /poem

I'm also entering this at Word power challenge where words are the focus.

Try a sketch on Tuesday

 This is the sketch for Try a sketch on Tuesday

I've made a card to say Thank you to a friend who helped me out when my sister died recently.

Brenda has a border collie, so I chose that for my picture.

Then at Li'l Red wagon they want us to use leftovers.

I used the other half of the strips making a similar card. This time it features 2 washi tape envelopes and my sentiment says sending you Happy Mail.

Shopping our stash

 At Shopping our stash this week they want gold on a card.

I used corrugated gold cardboard plus a sleigh which I misted with gold..

I trimmed it with gold braid that Mum owned. It slipped in the scanner but is straight now.

Using up my kit

 I'm using up the scraps from my kit now. I had some of the fisherman paper left over so I'm making 2 cards.

Here's the first one for Crafty Animals

My second one is using scraps I had on my desk

That's my kit all done!

The crazy floral layout.

 

I've had this carta bella Bloom paper in my kit and kept avoiding it. Then I saw the new sketch at Sketches in Thyme.

I decided to use these 3 photos of the mexican dress and go for a totally floral look.

I used 6 journal cords on here, including the circle , they became my banners. My title and hearts are from American crafts Thickers let's Dance.
