Cardz 4 guyz

 One last card for today. This one is for Cardz 4 Guyz.

The theme is Autumn colours. I had some yellow scraps on my desk which work on the orange card. Then I fussy cut the pumpkin and 3 acorns and adhered them to my card. I think it will work well for a gardener I know.



Christmas cards all year round

 At Christmas cards all year round they are working on letters R and S.

I found 2 light silver metallic reindeers so glued them on to a reindeer background paper card. The green strip across the bottom works as grass for them to stand on and also contains the sentiment.



Christmas or not BINGO challenge.

 Our theme is always anything goes with the featured BINGO card. Choose one letter in the word BINGO and use at least three items in that column on your project. You must state in your blog post the column and the specific items used. This is not your typical BINGO card where you go up and down, left and right and diagonally. To make this more fun, you can only go up and down using the columns. There is a FREE space in each column that you are welcome to utilize if you'd like. You cannot mix and match columns - you can only use one column under one letter. The new bingo board is found at the end of the inspiration section.


I found a new card blog and am making a card using column I.

I used a kraft and red striped paper, I made a banner or garland by cutting triangles in another matching striped strip of paper. I also added a wooden snowflake and a vellum sentiment. 

So that makes Christmas, stripes, garland and free. 



Try it on Tuesday and shopping our stash.

 At Try it on Tuesday they want us to use pretty papers.

I found more Christmas papers that work together using the colours red and yellow. The background is yellow with festive stars and spots. The border strip of gingham toned in perfectly. Finally the santa paper that spells out Christmas makes my top layer.

I'm also entering this at Shopping our stash where they want people. There's plenty of Santa people there to qualify!

Sketch and scrap snowflake card

 Yesterday I made a card for Atlantic Hearts and now this one for Sketch and scrap is very similar.


Here's my card. I used mulberry paper as my backing for the snowflake, so it was hard to cut and arrange it. I chose a smaller mitten wood veneer for the other embellishment.


Here's a photo of the cards I've done in the last few days.



Sketch n scrap throwback sketch.

 


Here's me in Pompei looking unhappy. It was about 100 degrees that day. I am VERY thankful that I can travel and enjoy seeing new places. 

This layout is based on sketch #209  from Sketch and scrap
