Lasting Memories and Soul scrappers.

 My next layout is a combined one using a sketch,

I found this on Pinterest and decided to use it for Lasting memories and Soul scrappers Tic tac toe.

Lasting memories wants us to use 3 diecuts. I think my title has that covered.

Using the tic tac toe grid, I went top left to bottom right. So, pearls, Sketch and striped paper. 

Christmas crafts all year around.

 This morning's card is for Christmas crafts all year around. 

They are focussing on the 12 days of Christmas and want 11 of something on a card.

I've used modern Christmas paper with a sentiment and 11 white pears scattered on the top section. 

Li'l red wagon

 I'm taking an afternoon off from scrapping with my kit.

Li'l red wagon has a hot drinks challenge.

I've made a teapot shaped card.

I used a very pale green paper for the teapot and added a Graphic 45 tag to the top. I also used pale green pearls to delineate the lid as well as the base of my teapot.

My good friend is attending a kitchen tea soon so this will work well. I'm sure the bride will like my card. 

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

I just found out I won an award for a card at Hearts quest challenge.

Cut it up and colour dare challenges.

 I've made a card this morning for Cut it up. They wanted layers plus we must use a die cut.

I've used 2 scraps of paper from Hot off the press, then a gingham heart punched paper over the top.

I added pearls in the hearts. 

Next is a doiley die cut from Kaisercraft,  then a heart die cut. My sentiment is the last of my Cocoa Vanilla stick on words. 

My next card uses the half and half idea for the background again. It is for Colour dare challenge

I used another Kaisercraft Doiley die cut then put 2 strips of a dark red across it. One has part of the sentiment-Fun times.On the second one I added the word YAY . This card will be for a teenager. I added 2 tiny pearls.

The strip of red and white braid across the card adds some "Zing" to the colour scheme.

Here's the palette

I have the maroon, red,2 shades of green and white. 

Forgery on the Fourth

 For my Counterfeit Kit I forged (or rather decorated) one of my muted papers.

Using a negative from a set of Jillybean soup forgot hexagons, I roughly inked through the holes using old paper distress ink. I then dribbled red mist through on top and around the area then removed the negative sticker.

This left a Christmassy looking corner on an otherwise dull paper.

Keep your eyes out for it to appear.

Mystical challenge 3 plus another layout.

 This morning I've made 2 new layouts using my kit.

The first is for Mystical scrapbooking. This paper is almost the same as my old school uniform. It made me remember when our hemlines were checked each day. Mini skirts were in fashion and our hems MUST be 4 inches above the Knee.

We were asked to stamp on the background and use stars. I had a star stamp so scattered stamped stars over the tartan. I also added 3 gold stars cut from a Christmas card. 

My other layout used the Cocoa Vanilla Happy Days paper I included in my kit.

The lupins were a deep pink and I had cardstock that matches.It was such a happy sunny day that I thought of the song "walking on sunshine". That became my title. I purposely put the word sunshine crooked to look like it is skipping.

I also used a couple of cut aparts, washi tape, a random button, wood veneer ferns and flower. 

Farmquest challenge blog

 At Farmquest challenge blog  the theme is corn.

I found it hard top locate any corn then remembered I had a tiny cob of corn. So, I added it to this card.

My card is more about the farmer, but there is the corn on the left.
