Soul Scrappers- tic tac toe

 

At Soul scrappers they have this Tic Tac toe board for April. I went across the bottom row. 

I decided to enter this layout

The chipboard are the slide frames which I covered by winding washi tape around them. 

Here's a close up.

My fussy cutting is the maple leaf cut out from a Canada brochure.

I'm on a mission to use up every Christmas paper in my stash ,so here's a Christmas card with hessian and a foam candy cane. No sentiment because I think it is obvious. 

Shopping our stash

 At Shopping our Stash they want "fun folds".

I decided to make an easel card using Graphic 45 papers

I cut out the 2 birdcages, one still attached partly to the paper on the top part. The other I mounted on the bottom section using pop dots.

The orange paper is also Graphic 45 and the bracket section is from "Lulu and Roy"collection (Kaisercraft). 

This will become a Mother's Day card. 

Sketches in Thyme sketch

 

Here's another layout for Sketches in Thyme. This time it used a variety of smaller papers which suits me. I'm running out of kit.

(In fact, I just ran out of D/S tape too.)

I kept fairly close to the sketch. My journal tag is on the right above the title.

Cards with scraps

 

My first card is for Sweet Sketch Wednesday and follows the above sketch.

I used offcuts of 2 papers from my CKC plus the kiss tag, Oval tag and the thin ribbon.

This will go into the Mother's day box.

Next card is for Li'l red wagon where they want stars.

Again, these are offcuts. The Star "ribbon" is from my kit as are the gold alphas. 

This one is for Father's Day.

Third card is for Daring cardmakers.

I could have used the first card for this challenge but hand more flamingo paper so made the following card.

That scrap of ribbon only just made it across the card. My 3 dots mid top of the card are flouro pink. They have come out as a washed out pink but they're bright! Everything on here is from my counterfeit kit. 

Sketches in Thyme sketch

 

This is the sketch at Sketches in Thyme.

You are meant to use stamps or inks to create the bottom half, but I used scrapbooking paper. I'm still working on my kit. 

I matched a floral with plain "Barbie" pink. My photos are of 3 items my daughter bought at charity shops. She loves the unusual type so rescued these. My title has a couple of weird elements to reflect that too.

I used chipboard buttons as my embellishments plus small pieces of washi tape for extra words or thoughts. 

Soul scrappers sketch

 

Here is the sketch challenge at Soul Scrappers. I'm concentrating on using my pinks this month and had a rather busy patterned paper to hide. I used a big pink doiley heart. Down the left hand side I've put strawberry border paper with pale lilac lace.

After positioning my photo and journal tag I added another small bingo card that says "cute". This became my journal corner as I also used washi tape which has phrases on it.

Next came the flowers top left. The mauve one has a mark on it, but it isn't visible except up close.

Here's my finished layout and everything on here is from the counterfeit kit this month.
