Double trouble

 At Double trouble they want a die cut plus ribbon.

I've used a bird die cut that came from Kaisercraft plus tartan ribbon and washi tape. 

I'm also uploading to Use your stuff which qualifies me for all the double trouble criteria. 

As you like it Challenge and cardz4guyz

 I've made a card for As you like it challenge.

It is anything goes so I made a summer card for a friend whose birthday is in January.

I used 2 strips of washi tape down the left hand side then vellum and a lovely seashell picture in the centre. I added 3 orange enamel dots as a final embellishment. 

At Cardz4Guys  they want gnomes or elves. I added 2 elves on this card.

The background was done by painting white through a doiley and the Christmas gifts are felt. 

Daring Cardmakers

 This morning I've been playing around with leftover bits and made this tag for Daring cardmakers.

The base was an offcut of another card. The flower was one made recently. The silver baubles were punched from small pieces of silver card I had. The black ribbon came off a previously received Christmas card. The bling is getting old and losing it's stick so decided to use it all up.

Unfortunately, the bauble on the right creased when I was adhering it to the tag. 

At least I'm joining in the fun!

Sketches in Thyme

 I've made a second page for my previous giraffe layout."Big Love."

The second one used a sketch at Sketches in Thyme.

I used the same paper and washi tape (finished that roll now-hooray!). I had 2 photos one portrait one landscape, but I think it works. One of my bucket list items was to feed a giraffe which I finally did recently at Mogo Zoo. 

For my title I smoothed red mist with a roller over the stencil which says "Turn your dream into a reality".I used all warm colours on this. For embellishments I used brads and enamel dots plus a toothpick star. 

Here's the 2 combined together

Stick it down card sketch.

 

I found this sketch at Stick it down.

Using some colourful papers I had, plus some gold bling pearls I made this card. I have used gold cardstock, so it is extra special. 

Lasting memories

My 3rd guest designer layout for Lasting Memories  has to use layers, brads, buttons and bling.

I've already used this for another challenge but here it is.

 I layered the ribbon and washi tape over the 2 papers. Then I put my title over the top. (4 layers). On the circles I used flowers and brads then wood veneer birds. The bling is down the left-hand side of the photo. 2 blue buttons sewn on the right.

Challenge YOUrself

 

At Challenge YOUrself I found it is anything goes this time.

I decided to scrap a photo from 1997.

My sister was presented with an award for minding children with Family Day Care for 25 years (Service to the community). She was nervous, so Mum and I went along as her cheer squad. 

I used lace and string (twine) plus a paper doiley and 2 brads. I found this design on Pinterest.
