Some Recent Paper Scrapbooking

These are two layouts I have finished this week for a Cyber Crop at The Scrapbook Establishments. One featuring my friend Cathy and her Dog which was a challenge that we were given a photo to obtain inspiration from. I chose the colour chocolate brown from the photo and the heart shaped chocolates and also in the photo was tissue paper so I made my own tissue paper flowers for my page.

The Summer Holiday layout was for the challenge to use a Song Title for the title of the page and I remembered this holiday from back in 1996 which I had never scrapped and remember us sometimes singing the first two lines of that Cliff Richards song leading up to that holiday. Also on our page for the challenge we had to have two photos and use chipboard which I did with the letters and the two arrows.

Sherbet coloured card

This is for this week's colour challenge at Christian Paper Crafts. We had to use Sherbet colours of pale green, peach, pink and white.
I usually prefer to work with bolder colours but I did enjoy putting this card together using my Spellbinder dies and cutting up the flower shape to make it look a little like patchwork.

Sketch Challenge at Christian Paper Crafts

This is a card using a Sketch from the challenges at Christian paper Crafts and was one from a few weeks ago. I only got around to having time to use it yesterday and thought it would work well for a card for my Brother-in-law's birthday this month.

Sketch Challenge at Christian Paper Crafts

This is the latest card I have made for a Sketch Challenge at Christian Paper Crafts ( CPCST41 )

I have a Stamp Pal who lives in Illinois,USA and late last year we started to exchange a card each month. This month we are exchanging Valentine Cards so this is the one I will sending to her.

Colour Challenge at Christian Papercrafts

This week at Christian Paper crafts the colour challenge is to use Teal and white with one other added colour of your own choice.

I needed to make a Sympathy card for my Son-in-law whose 95 year old Grandmother died last week so decided to use the colour challenge for this.

Inspiration Challenge at The Scrapbook Establishment

On the forum of The Scrapbook Establishment this week we were given the challenge to create a paper craft item from inspiration gained from pieces of fabric shown by the challenge host.
I chose a fabric that was the colours I have used and it had a scalloped circle on which was a red dotty sunburst very similar to the stamped image I have used on my card.

This was a fun challenge.

Sketch Challenge at Christian Paper Crafts

This is the first card I have made for a Challenge at Christian Paper Crafts.
I joined their forum just before Christmas and of course did not have time then to take part in any challenges.

I am so glad I found this forum as the challenges are good ( especially for cardmaking ) but most of all the Scriptural devotions are so encouraging and uplifting.
