Friday Challenge

Hi all. It's been a while since I've played along with the challenges and now I've had surgery on my scrapping arm it's going to be even longer! :(
But don't let that stop you. Since it's a long weekend I'm going to challenge you to complete a project that you've been wanting to complete for a while. It can be an unfinished page, an Off The Page Project or a technique you've been waiting to try.
Sorry I can't whip up an example (it's taken me long enough to type this left handed!), but can't wait to see what you create!
Happy scrapping..

CARDS - For the Guys

Hello everyone - here is your Thursday Blog Challenge (early on a friday...whoops!).

I'd love to see your card creations that are made for the guys! Lots of cards are shared that are more feminine, but getting inspo for some guy cards would be awesome.

Here are mine:








All cards made using the Kaiser "On the Move" range, with a bit of Basic Grey "Basics" range (trim stickers) added in for good measure. Also there is some Ruby Rockit "Nostalgia" PP (black scallop circle on the middle cards), some Kaiser and Carolees tiny alpha stickers, Basics Label sticker and American Crafts Thickers (the 30).

Thanks for looking, cant wait to see your Guy cards!!

Cheers

Lee

weekend challenge

Hi there everyone,

My turn for a challenge. Thought I would share a card that is going to be for this weeks class.

I saw this flower somewhere and thought it would be fun to make...

First get together the bits you need, to make this one I have punched 8 aprox 1 1/2" circles and cut a motif spellbinder circle...you just need one bigger than the little ones...IYKWIM. then your papers and card if making a card.


Now fold each of the small circles in half twice, as per the pic (sorry the flash was a bit bright) then you just fold on one half of the circle from where the fold lines are...check out the pic, bit hard to explain.


Now fold those bits back toward the middle..check the pic....then all you do it find the middle of your large circle, and sitck them all down....looks great and very easy.





This is the finished card, just popped a brad in the middle to finish the flower.

Please have a go and share with us what you come up with. Have a wonderful weekend.

Marg.

Thursday is all about Colour...

Hi all on this frosty cool morning,

I thought because it was so cold today (and winter is only just starting... LOL - how am I going to be when June/July come?) I thought that I would give you a nice warm colour combination to create a layout with.



Don't these colours just make you feel warmer????

So using this colour combination I would like you to create  a project that is warm.  It can be  a card, OTP or a layout.

Have fun, and hope you feel warm...

Tuesday Challenge.

Hi everyone,
My challenge for you is to do a page or cards using mainly one colour.
Have have used some green papers to make these cards that we did for our card class a few weeks ago.


I have used some Kaiser flower stamps, MS around the page punch, lots of spellbinder edge dies and other dies as well as Sizzix die for the green dot flower.

Have a play and share with us in the gallery or on the blog.

Have fun,

Marg.
