Back to Creating then.......

Well I have decided that my mojo is not going to come back on its own, and I haven't done my card order for the lady in church for a couple of months now, so that is long overdue, and I have loads of new scrummy stuff as well as old scrummy stuff, so really need to use that, so have sorted out some old scrummy stuff to use which is what I made this card with. I was inspired by 2 challenges and so I am going to enter for both of them.... one is the Simon Says Challenge which is a photo inspired one.....
And the second is the Mojo Monday Sketch Challenge

And here is what I came up with..... isn't the blue bazzill a gorgeous blue, probably would never have got around to using it if it wasn't for the photograph....

And as usual, I decorate the insides of my cards, so here is the inside....

Now I cannot tell you what the supplies are as they are so old.... ha ha but the butterfly punch is a Martha Stewart Punch.

I also made a card for another sketch challenge over at CPS......


And here is what I came up with, my first card for my church order too....

These are the same supplies as the last card but I have used PTI Ribbon for this and Our Daily Bread Stamp Set. So I will be back tomorrow with another card, until then take care and stay safe. xx

Tackle it Tuesday - Colour Challenge #4

Hi everyone, well today is the day that I make the draw for Colour Challenge #3. Thank you for the entries that I have had, it is great to see everyone's interpretations of the colours... I have used Random.Org to select a number and the winner is.....

Vanessa

Thank you very much everyone for taking part. I little something will be winging its way to you as soon as you let me know your address.

Now onto the next Colour Challenge which is #4. These are the colours I have chosen this fortnight.....

Now I know they look quite random, but I have made a card using these colours and I think it looks very good....

I have used the Kaleidescope Patterned Paper which has the Apricot Appeal Colour in it, I then covered a Chipboard Flower in more patterned paper from this set. The card blank is made using Certainly Celery Cardstock and the paper is backed with Pixie Pink and Tempting Turquoise.... the Thanks So Much sentiment is from the Trendy Trees stamp set and fits perfectly in the Word Window Punchout... I stamped the card blank with the little flower from the Level 1 Hostess Set Darling Dots with Versamark Ink so that it didn't give it too much colour.... all these items are from Stampin' Up! You didn't think I could manage not making a card from Stampin' Up! stash 2 days in a row did you.... lol

And here is the inside, again I used all the same stash as I did for the front, except I used a Martha Stewart Butterfly Punch......

Have a good day folk and I will be back tomorrow with another little freebie for the first comment left here.... have a great evening all xx

A Couple of Challenges

I am still busy making my card order and needed a bit of inspiration, so decided to look up some challenges. This card was made using a couple of challenge, a colour one and a sketch one. I used all Stampin' Up! Stash for this card, am trying to do this more often now... it is so lush!!

The colours I used were Ruby Red, Cameo Coral, Bashful Blue, More Mustard, So Saffron and Whisper White as we dont have Deep Red and Baja Blue in the UK.

And the sketch I copied almost exactly except I added a bit of bling in the bottom right hand corner.

I used the new SAB set Happy Moments for the sentiment "Thank You", Circle Circus to edge the inner circle and flight of the Butterfly for the main image, and the Butterfly Punch to punch out the butterfly. I used the Level 1 Hostess Set Darling Dots for the flower on the Bashful Blue Cardstock. It is very unusual for me to use no Patterned Paper, but I did manage it....

The snow is nearly gone around here, but I am having big trouble with my car since the snow. The battery totally died, so had a new one fitted yesterday at a cost of more than £100 and this morning something has drained the battery and the new one is flat.... grrr thats all I need electrical problems with electrical diagnoses costing more than £50 an hour....

Dont forget my card workshop on Thursday, should be good as I am loving the Stamp Set Flight of the Butterfly at the moment, such pretty cards, hope my ladies like them.

Take care all, have a safe day...
