Soul Scrappers This or That challenge

 I chose coloured background, 3 photos, rhinestones, stickers, butterflies, circle punch. The yellow photo section is a pocket for the brochure.

I was trying to take selfies and my friend kept pulling faces. We both ended up laughing.

If you're having trouble seeing the butterflies, here is a close-up.

Sketch 'n scrap September.

 

This is the first sketch at Sketch n scrap .

I've used 3 of the papers from my Counterfeit kit. The striped one had lines that were skew and went all over the place so when cutting the strips I purposely cut at an angle.

I had a sticker title that said my lucky star so used it on here plus smaller stars as embellishments.The quote at the bottom is from Art Stacks.

Counterfeit Kit

 I'm not on the Counterfeit design team but still making up a kit as I find it a good way to use up those papers.

The chosen kit is travel themed and is from Story Foundations: Destinations Bundle — Traci Reed Designs

Here's my kit papers. There's maps, cars, cameras, postcards, stamps, pineapples plus a mixture of patterns. Also Ktaft mini words and the cut apart sheet. I added smaller cardstock for matting.

As you like it challenge

 As you like it  asks us our favourite wild animal and why.

I happen to love deers. They seem so gentle and timid and aren't killers like lions for example.

I'm sure the bucks can inflict some damage with those antlers but on the whole deers strike me as gentle creatures.

With that in mind I made yet another Christmas card featuring a scene with 2 deers near a tree.

I inked the tree with pinecone ink lightly to give it some 3D texture. I also added a cream star. The background paper comes from a 6x6 Kaisercraft pad.

Jingle Belles

 Today I got the Christmas craft box down from the top cupboard and am starting in earnest on Christmas crafts.

At Jingle Belles they ask for stickers.

I found some foam stickers which are gingerbread girls. I made a bright green card with 3 of those girls scattered on the card. Looks festive to me!

ABC Christmas challenge and Li'l red wagon.

 At ABC Christmas challenge they gave us a choice of penguins, 4 of something or rectangles.

I have chosen 4 of something and used more of the silhouette shapes. In this case it is a reindeer family.

With the houndstooth border around the sentiment, this has a Scottish look.

                                                        *****************************

While we are on reindeer, I found Li'l red wagon wants 3 of something. I made another card on a paler green and included 3 reindeer. I inked the 2 white ones to look more natural and gave the tree some ink as well.

Creative inspiration challenges

 I've made 2 pink cards today using more of the silhouette card die cuts.

My first is this one. 

It could be for twin baby girls or just a general card.

I'm entering it at Creative Inspiration Challenges.

The second one will be a Christmas card and again uses another shape.
