Jingle Belles and Krafty Chicks.

 My next card is for Jingle Belles and the theme is home. They wanted houses or something houses are made from, for example, wood.

I happened to have wooden looking paper with snowflakes, so here's my card. 

My daughter's partner (male) is having a birthday early October, so I made him this card

I'm entering it at Krafty chicks,

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

I'm adding this card as I've just finished it. I used a corrugated card piece that came off a take away coffee plus 2 cute gingerbread people I had in my stash.

Baby use those scraps

 I finished my Counterfeit kit early.

Here is what I had left over. As you can see there's not much!

From this I managed to make 2 cards. My first was for Tic tac toe

I went across the middle row. Although not whole cameras, the strip of stamped cameras was enough I thought. My sentiment is large enough I think and was in my kit. There are blue, yellow, brown plus black and white.

My second card is for Cardz 4 guyz. The theme is boats.

I tore the blue to look like the sea then placed a small card I had featuring a boat.

Tic tac toe challenge

 

I've decided to start on Christmas cards as I sell quite a few prior to Christmas.

The tic tac toe challenge has this grid. I've gone down the middle row: twine, plaid and red.

My next one is for Trimmies craft challenge there they want Christmas.

My next is for Sketch n scrap

and here's my card which I also entered at the holly and the Ivy challenge

3 layouts and a catch up.

 Here are my 3 latest layouts using my counterfeit kit.

On this one I used wedding patterned paper cleverly disguised by adding teabag stain and pinecone ink I dounle matted the photo then placed a scrap of inked paper on the left hand side and tucked a tag under the right. The feather embellishment on corrugated card is from a coffee cup holder.

I used 2 ready-made words with my own printing in between. The butterflies are from my stash.

Next is this one which was for a sketch challenge at Paper Issues. I was able to use quite a lot of the offcut branding strips. I fussy cut the 2 stamped cameras from a scrap and added some tiny TLC tags and shapes.

The third one is another sketch from Soul Scrappers.

It had 2 photos, but I used one plus a tag I created last year. It had a nature theme and the colours matched.

The chipboard row of flowers was painted with metallic paint.I used washi tape under that.

Freaky Fast formula

 

Here is this month's Freaky fast formula at the scrap room.

I used 3 of the 4 papers for layering then the 4th one as a large mat for my photo.I used one of my altered playing cards as an embellishment. The butterfly went with the garden theme. The J for my name and the map paper for travelling.

Challenge YOUrself and sketches in Thyme.

 I made the camera paper by repeat stamping. This is for Forgeries on the fourth at Counterfeit Kit.

I cut part of it to add to this layout.

also on there is another piece of paper I made by inking with "old paper" through a mask. I inked the wood veneer tag using "lavender" ink and dribbled "Tattered Angels" glimmer mist on my paper.

That's me in the pink top with the red face. It was hot in that restaurant. 

Here's the Challenge Yourself picture

Double layout of my fence

                                           

Today I made a double layout. I document changes I make to my house and make an album.

I recently got a new fence so put the pictures into these layouts.

The left hand side is for a sketch at Sketch n scrap. I used the left over papers on the right hand side.

I'm happy with how these turned out.
