Simon says stamp.

 They want 4 legged friends at Simon says stamp

I've used a reindeer stamp on the background of this card near the bottom, then added reindeer stickers across the top as well. Another Christmas card completed.

Shopping our stash

 Shopping our stash would like balloons, either party or hot air balloons.

I've opted for the hot air kind.

I used a transparency I have had here for ages and otherwise kept my card fairly plain. This will be good for a male card. 

I'm also entering it at Cutie pie challenges where it is something starting with B.

Farmquest grocery challenge and Farmquest challenge.

 At Farmquest grocery challenge They want aisles 1,3 or 5.

Aisle #1 is produce and I have used a photo of fresh cherries on this layout. WE saw these beautiful foods on our Trip to Vancouver market.

It makes my mouth water just looking at them.

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

At Farmquest challenge  there is a forest woodland theme.

I've tried something different on here.

I used heassian as my background. First using a stencil I painted the tree on the hessian. I used liquid pearls to add snow on the branches.  When this was dry, I glued on my reindeer and star. Both also painted.

This will be a Christmas card. 

Creative Fingers

 Creative fingers is a new challenge blog for me. It is anything goes, so I made another male card because Fathers' Day is coming up here in Australia.

I kept it simple by using 2 random playing cards and a pre-prepared sentiment.

Farmquest desert challenge.

 At Farmquest they wanted things found in a desert.

I've made this layout using strips of paper plus 2 photos of butterflies I saw in Arizona. I misted the background using 2 different colours. I also added some wood veneer butterflies and chipboard fleur de lis that I painted and stamped.

Outlaws challenge

 At the Outlaws challenge they want us to upcycle or recycle. 

In my case I've done a bit of both.

Someone gave me some racing car stickers they had from a deceased estate clearance. I found 2 scraps of grey/black papers that aren't very pretty so used those as my base. On the first I added a yellow "ladder" shape which someone at a crop had used to punch out squares then threw away the ladder.

I added the ladder down the side then scattered the racing cars on my card. Added a sentiment and it is done.

On the second one I covered the words on the background with strips of blue paper. Then added the two biggest racing cars and the sentiment.

All made from scraps that would have been thrown out otherwise. 

Cardz 4 Guyz

 At Cardz 4 guyz they want metallic. 

I've chosen a silver backed card with kraft mat, plus 2 large metal brads for eyes a small black brad for a nose and a paper moustache.

My daughter's friend is into space and aliens etc so this will suit him for a birthday card.
