Well I thought I would give Mojo Monday challenge a try ...

then I had been checking out some over challenges and spotted this one

from Tuesday Throwdown

Our challenge theme this week is "Make Your Own Background"  Let's see those creative framings for your gorgeous images!  

 

so here is my try at both challenges...

Paper used for the four squares  SEI - Chocolat

Recollection brown paper..

the background butterflies are embossing fold

from Craft Concepts -Butterfly Kisses

I just wipe the butterflies with a bit of white to bring them out more..

the twine and button from my stash of stuff..

So what do you thing???

Have a great day.



Been a while since I did a Friday Mashup ...

so I thought why not give it a try...

so here is the challenge

make sure you stop by their site and give it a try.

Sketch by: Erica

Here's your Mashup Challenge:

1. Create a project using the "Sketch".
2. Create a "Birthday" project.
3. Or Mash it Up and create a "Birthday project using the Sketch"

so here is my try ...

I used a clear piece of plastic to make the square

then pop it up and then I cut the flower that match the one below

then pop the flower on the plastic...and cut two little flowers

and did the same to them ...



hope you like...

the paper used is Bo Bunny -Unforgettable Love

misc ribbon and bow

computer used Happy Birthday

have a great Saturday

hugs



Ok Nina put up another challenge for us ladies....

Cuttlebug Embossing with wax paper...

so here are my attempts and ladies

let me tell you this was a challenge ...

I had to borrow wax paper from neighbour

that's right ..bought some from the dollar store ...really no wax to speak of

Bare the went to Safeway for me and got some ...it was microwavable...

then I talked to my neighbour ...who said come see me if you can't found the good stuff.

So over I went ...she gave me a few ideas...

and a piece of really wax paper ...so here are my tries

I must say the dark ink looked good..

you can see where the wax  marks are and how nice it showed up..

had to give some other embossing folders I had

a try

black

then in

blue

and this like the first two ...but done in red ...

I have to say the red was my first try at the challenge

just did not seem able to put it into a card

but I will try ...with the others I made to create something...

all paper used was Recollections card stock

Misc ribbons...flower on green card..from Nina

Now make sure you stop by

Nina and Barb
