Mystical scrapbooks G challenge

The challenge at Mystical Scrapbooks is to use the letter G for something and use a project life card.
I recently found a few photos from our Canada trip (3 years ago now!).
We were lucky enough to find a Grizzly bear with 2 young cubs on the side of the road.

I trimmed the photos to show mainly the cubs which were so cute.
The yellow dots are the full stops and commas from the alphas.
There are more at the base of the tree(cut off by the scanner)
The tree paper suited the topic perfectly. The pink chipboard mushroom is  just for fun.

Happy lIttle stampers and The flower challenge

Another card, this time for Happy Little Stampers where they want die cuts and the flower challenge where there is a tic tac toe challenge.

I went along the bottom row.
I've sold quite a few get well cards lately with the Flu being so bad this year here in Oz.
Using items from my Counterfeit Kit, I started with a blue peacock feather paper.
I then selected a white tag which I stamped with a FLOWER and misted with blue.
The die cut flourish circles around the brad.

Freshly made sketches and 4 Crafty chics.

and Freshly made sketches has this sketch

I'm combining the two in one card. I found a Shimelle paper with apples so used that as my background. The reverse side ,including a bottom strip made the central section.
I used a Studio Calico sticker from my Counterfeit kit as my circle then added my sentiment.

Merry Monday Christmas Card Challenge

Over at Merry Monday they want a card with the word JOY on it.
This particular word is usually able to be made from left over alphas, which is what I did here.

The card is for a girl who loves Barbie pink, so I used my sparkly pink washi tape.

Christmas card throwdown & Jingle Belles.

This is the current sketch at Christmas Card Throwdown.
I've used Webster Pages Vellum as my background.
Going with the elegant look I used gold rhinestones plus a very thin washi tape.
The sentiment is from Kaisercraft's Frosted range.
This is also entered in Muse Christmas Visions

At Jingle Belles Rock they want a Christmas card inspired by a song.
I've chosen O Holy Night and used music paper as part of my background.
Around the Christmas Tree there are tiny white pearls which might not be visible on the scan.
They add a nice glow in real life.

City Crafters & ABC

The challenge at City Crafters ids to choose one of four misted backgrounds.

I've gone for the top left red and gold combo.

And at ABC Christmas challenges they want T is for trio.

I've combined the 2 challenges to create this card.
There are 3 sentiments, stars and enamel dots.
The brown smudge is actually shiny gold mist. It didn't photograph well in the scanner.

Lasting memories challenge.

http://kcclayoutchallenges.blogspot.com.au/ wants stripes this week.

I included 3 rust coloured papers in my kit, so using one of those, I matched it with this orange toned diagonal striped paper.
The photo I have used is of The Loeb Boathouse in Central Park, NY.

It appears in several movies, including 27 dresses and When Harry met Sally.

My daughter visited there 2 years ago. I like her photo better than the professional one above, because of the ducks.
I went with 2 sets of similar alphas to get all the letters.

Did you notice the transparency tab?
