C for the ABC Crop at My Sketch World


For C we had to have at least one "CLOUD" on a greeting card.

ABC Crop at My Sketch World


Last month I took part in a crop run by My Sketch World. It was a total of 26 challenges going through the alphabet. It was run by one day being a scrapbook page and the next a card. I thought I would share what I created for this crop and will share two each time I add a posting. So here I will share A and B. A was a card with "ADORNMENT" - we had to add some bling or sparkle. The patterned paper I used had glitter already on the flowers and I added gems to the centre of the flowers.
The B was "BORDER PUNCH" on a scrapbook page. I used the challenge to put together another page for the album of my daughter's wedding. The photo was of the lovely couple dancing.

Week 4 - Christmas in July Card Challenge

This week's card challenge was to make a card with some dimension and we were not allowed to use any rubber stamps at all.
I used a digital scrapbooking image by Valerie Randall of the angel. Printed it three times and made a paper tole from it. Added some glitter. The background is the front off an old Christmas card ( nice to be able recycle it ).

Week 3 Christmas in July Card Challenge


This challenge is from the forum of Ideal Papercrafts. I nearly forgot to share this here last week. We were asked to create a card using non-traditional Christmas colours. I chose to work with purple and cream.

I am now editing and adding this information: Today I discovered my card was voted the best for last week so I won a prize of a pack of Christmas papers ( this is 12 x 12 papers used for scrapbooking as well as for cardmaking)

The challenge for this week was to have the word "Star" somewhere on our card. This rubber stamp by Stamp-It was just perfect for this challenge.
