Animal friends challenge plus cardz4guyz

At Animal friends challenge there is a fish,whales or dolphins challenge.
I've had some 2 crafty chipboard fish in my drawer for quite a while, so I have painted them blue.
One has been used on this thank you card which would work for either male or female.

I'm sending this to friends with whom I stayed recently.

(The dirty mark is on the scanner, not on the card)

My next card is for Cardz4guyz ,where they want a get well card.
I kept it simple and used muted blues and browns.

Li'l red wagon.and cupcake challenge.

At Li'l red wagon they want us to create your own background.

I started by misting with both red and turquoise which gave me a mottleed background. I then made a collage of fabric flower,glittery silhouette, buttons, pictures all on a theme.
I punched the oval and put personailty plus as my sentiment.
This is a birthday card for my cousin.

At Cupcake Inspirations they have asked for blue,yellow and white.



I've chosen a bee themed card for this challenge.

Sketches in Thyme

My next layout is for Sketches in Thyme where this is the sketch.



I'm starting on photos from a recent week away to Forster NSW. While I was there we saw the pelicans along the shore, in fact they have taken over one jetty.
I named my layout Pelly spot as it seems to be where they congregate.
Here's the layout.

A cool effect.

Here's my last layout for this counterfeit kit "Tuxedo".
The background paper Bella Perfect World was so busy, I was a bit afraid of how to use it.
I decided to layer what I had left and it worked. Theres a bone paper, a silver doiley,the paper I made for a forgery with white triangles plus 2 strips of ribbon and the title.
I didn't used much embellishment, just the camera as the alphas are big.

Christopher was dressed for his year 10 formal.

Festive Friday

Ive made a card for Festive Friday
It started out being for another challenge, but changed as I put it together.
The 3 items on this card are pink, green and ribbon or if you like die cuts.

 Here's the list we are asked to choose from.

It is being sent to a friend who is in hospital.

Challenge Yourself and CSI

I'm combining this challenge with CSI this morning.

I enjoyed making this layout and have used quite a few things I had laying around.

I found an old Bella striped paper plus another that looked like slices of oranges. Almost covered up with the pennant. I used a textured white paper which has a flocked pattern. I used a drinking straw.

I used jewels (rhinestones). The bottom label is an old Jillybean soup label.

I made a banner using twine and offcuts of an old pattern paper.

I used yellow vellum as my matting square.

My photo is of myself in Capri, which immediately made me think of the lemoncella.

Lasting Memories.

Here's the newest sketch at Lasting Memories..
I'm using more of the same papers I used on yesterday's layout "Cute" and making a double.

I started with a white background to keep the neutrals look.
I then chose brown cardstock as my backround for the grid.
My 2 photos are both portrait and slightly different sizes so I manoevered the strips around to suit them and my title card.
The basic idea is the same just in different positions.
My bottom tag has twine. It was cut off on the scanner.The gingham ribbon top right adds another texture to the look.
