Simon Says Stamp Children's Challenge

 

Ethan has been busy painting the last few days, so I thought I would enter his monster picture into the Simon Says Stamp Children's Challenge.

10 Minute Craft Dash Challenge.

In an attempt to be more productive with my craft time, I'm joining the Pretty Pink Posh 10 Minute Craft Dash Challenge. This card took me 7 and a half minutes, a record time for me as I spend so much time faffing about. I used a bunch of scraps and PTI's Natural Beauties set. The leaves come from The Sweet Life. I also want to enter the Basic Grey challenge "Anything Goes". The green paper is from Basic Grey's PB&J paper pad. Thanks for looking :)

Stamp A Faire Ribbon Challenge

I managed to get time to try another challenge last night, so I decided to follow Dawn's bow tying project. I can't tie a bow to save my life, and even the clear tutorial from Dawn did nothing to improve those skills! Still, I tried!

Stamp A Faire Morning Make and Take.

 

I wasn't able to take part in all the challenges that Papertrey Ink were hosting yesterday as it was my son's birthday. However, I was able to get this card made at about midnight and just in time to upload. The rest of the challenges are open for longer, so I hope to make some tonight.

Nichole used the stamp set Natural Beauties, which I don't have yet, but you were allowed to substitute it with any other floral set. I used Beautiful Blooms II and cased Nichole's card. I didn't have any vellum either, so I had to use white card. It wasn't until I had it stuck down that I realised the card strip was too wide. Never mind, I will know for next time!

By the Cute and Girly Challenge Entry.

This is my entry for this month's By the Cute and Girly challenge. The brief is "Cute as a Button" I used Hawaiian Shores CS for the card base, layered it with black CS and stamped my own patterned paper using PTI's Rosie Posie stamp set. The flowers are die cut from Soft Stone CS and stamped with Hawaiian Shores and Spring Rain ink. The set is called Beautiful Blooms II. I stamped PTI's Library Card stamp on a Project Life journalling tag and added a thank you sentiment from Botanical Silhouettes. The buttons are PTI's Blueberry Sky, ribbon is PTI's Hawaiian Shores and the bling is from Kaisercraft.

Thanks for looking :)

 

 

The Kraft Journal Challenge

I had to do a 60th birthday card, so I tried to incorporate it into a challenge. I haven't participated in any challenges for ages, so I thought now was the time! This one is for The Kraft Outlet blog and the aim was to use Kraft cardstock and use up your stash. I've had this green ribbon for an age, and the scrabble tiles are something that I haven't used much at all.
