More Challenges....

Hi all - I had someone ask me if I could make them a Tri-Shutter card to give to someone else and if possible could it have mauve/purple on it, my first thought was YES! I can then enter it in these two challenges, Scrapbook Boutique's and Fab 'n' Funky's LOL

I just love Tri-Shutter cards (even though they are a lot of work) and I am pleased with how it turned out... Hope the recipient is also... :)

PS: I apologize for the state of the photo as my husband has taken the camera and I had to use my iPhone and even though everyone raves about the cameras in them I don't think they are that good... But when it's all you've got....... LOL

And Yes, Another Challenge...

Hi all - Gosh I am on fire!!! LOL

Here is an entry to the Mojo Monday Blog Challenge.... They have a sketch challenge every week. I have made one or two cards over the years using their sketches but usually well after the challenge is finished.... but not this time!!!

It has turned out exactly how I envisioned it.... I wanted something simple but effective (hopefully) and I really liked how this turned out..... until I saw that this week's challenge is the contest one and now I think it is too plain LOL

Another one of my birthday cards down.... :)


Challenges....

Hi all - I have set some challenges to myself LOL - I am SO far behind with birthday cards for friends that I have set myself a challenge to get them sent before their next birthday rolls around LOL....

While blog hopping (procrastinating...) I came across the ABC Challenge for this week which is X is for crossed ribbons. I had no idea what to do for it until I can across a fantastic sketch at Fab 'n' Funky Challenges and thought that it would be perfect for the ABC Challenge. So two challenges in one LOL....

I have even made a second card (two birthday cards down LOL) because the design in the middle is what I had originally done for the top card but decided I didn't like it with those colours, so it was just sitting there after I finished the first card so I decided to have another go....

Don't know which one I like better... I like the colours in the top one but the design in the bottom one LOL...

Small Birthday Treats....

Hi all - here are a couple of little gift items that I made for one of my S-I-Ls. We had already celebrated our birthdays (our birthdays are two days apart so we always celebrate them together) but it was nearly a week before her's so we surprised her with a small celebration and I made these to give her as we had already given her a pressy. The box in the middle held a choccy bar (I think... LOL Has been a while...)

The card layout I took from another card that we made at one of my workshops, which was taken from a layout of one of Kristina Werner's cards. I just adore the simplicity of it....


Im not usually a blue/yellow person but I am loving these colours together... and I just love boxing things. It just turns anything into a really special gift...


And I was practising making one of these (saw the idea from a Convention swap) so I could show them at a future workshop.... They make such a beautiful gift...
