Cutie Pie

 I'm adding another 2 cards with the Mintay paper.

That's been used up now. More fussy cutting as trims.

I'm entering the bird one above on Cutie Pie Challenges. Their theme is Pink. 

Pink cards.

 Yesterday I made 3 pink cards using Mintay papers. On one side is the floral background and the other has small pictures that match. In each case, I cut these out to put on a card.

I'm entering these at AAA cards where they want favourite colour. 

Freshly made sketches and Less is more

 

After seeing this sketch on Facebook I decided to make a card. It is for Freshly made sketches. 

I used a smaller size cardboard so have no room for a picture, but this will be handy as a get-well card. 

I've also made a card for Less is more. They want pink, white and blue.

My card is fairly simple and as I had pink cardstock, I made that my background. I tore the strip of blue and white spotted paper then added the sticker. This will go in the Valentine's Day box.

Cardz 4 guyz

 At cardz4guyz they want spooky or birds.

I'm not doing spooky (ie Halloween), so birds it is!

I've started on Christmas cards again as I sold 28 this morning. (Hooray).

This uses sophisticated colours of maroon and copper and features a brown bird. It is very suitable for a man. 

Farmquest feathers and another layout to finish the kit

 I've made a quick card using fussy cut feathers with a boot for Farmquest. 

It features a roller skate with an old fashioned boot. I also put part of a doiley, and some enamel dots.

Also today, I decided to use up my scraps from this month's Counterfeit Kit.

Most of them were that jade colour so they matched in. 

I had the scrapbooking part done when I saw the fan that I fussy cut from an old birthday card. As it was florals, I used it too. I then stitched around it with orange thread. I added the wood veneers and a brad as well as the title, and here you have it! 

Challenge YOUrself

 

The challenge at Challenge YOUrself is to use a quote.

I've gone nostalgic with this page and used the Kaisercraft "Miss Betty" range. It is all from that range, except the white lace daisies, which came from that era also.

That's me in the red cardigan (believe it or not!) and my big sister in the yellow. 

We went to an animal park with a neighbour and her children. The girl in the photo is 3 years younger than me but we all played together as kids and I'm still in touch with her. That made me think of the quote. 

Soul Scrappers Sketch.

 I made another layout today. This one is for Soul Scrappers sketch challenge.

I used all items from my Counterfeit kit. Two papers were in my kit . The button strip and gold arches on the right were scraps. The floral bunches came in a kit of die cuts,so I'm glad to use those. The quote is from Kaisercraft's Chapter One collection.

A bonus use was "Are we there yet?" That was a scrap I had on my desk. 

The basic grey aphas were unable to be repositioned.
