A Saturday of Fun

Well here it is a Saturday a nice sunshine day to do a challenge or two

                      I was able to connect with SIL Barb and she was doing this neat challenge

Less Is More --Jingle all the Way!

For this we would like to see some reference to any of these things.... bells, reindeer, Santa, elves, stockings, presents, decorations, Christmas songs/music/instruments...

                                                  in fact anything Christmassy!.... and also

I had been looking at The Friday Mashup

                                                                  this week's challenge is:

• Create a project using "a Metal Embellishment (Staple, Brad, Grommet etc.)". 


• Create a project using "Weather as your Inspiration" think Storms, Winter, Clouds, Rain, Sun, Warm Sandy Beaches. 


• or Mash it Up! and create a "Weather inspired project with a Metal Embellishment".

                       so I joined in with Barb and combined the two challenges.

                                       this paper is so beautiful...I tried to do a close up so you
                                    could see the wintery storm and the trees in the background...

having Santa flying off and the little town below ...

                                       I used Memory Box Country Landscape for the town
                                          iodies - Die081-O for Santa and reindeer
                                      the paper is Bo Bunny from the Altitude Collection
                                                          sentiment Stampin Up
                                      I just gave the town a bit of color with my Tombows
                                   Have a great day and please stop by these challenges and
                                                            for sure stop bySIL Barb's

Well we are off on another adventure to day .

Have a great week.

                Was chatting to my SIL Barb last night she was working some cards and gave me the idea to look around and create a card to so here it is

It is what they call a spinner card the little van you see spins from side to side

in the that curve slot you can see.

Friends are moving and I wanted to create a card for them

I flocked the clouds with white and the trees with green

I printed the layout of house on to the card then did another copy

so I could colorand raise the houses.

this is Marlene and Bob in their van with some boxes and heading to their new home.

Again van is from a coloring page and I colored.

 

We have had a chance to visit the grandkids up north

one of my grand daughters likes to make cards ..

so when I got home I put together a box of stuff for card making and sent it up.

 

Here is her first 2 cards with some of the stuff...

birthday cards for her cousins

 good start Jordy ...love them

Challenge #114

 Well I got a card made  for the

Merry Monday Christmas Challenge #114

so here is my try at Sparkle, Shimmer  or Shine

 hard to see my sparkle and shine .....so here is a closer look

see I did get some sparkle

and the snowman were from Stampin Up called Flaky Friends

 I fussy cut them out then water colored or used my TomBow pens to add color to them

the 2 back trees are from Taylor Expression die cut and then layered

I added sparkle for the snow

make sure to stop by the challenge and give it a try.

Some beautiful cards have been created .

 

Well has many of you know our granddaughter graduated this June

this was here last project from here wood shop ...she was a TA

for grade 10 classes (TA means Teachers Assisted)

Her woodworking teacher wants her to carry on in wood classes

so she has and probably will be enrolling at TRU for classes on that and other interested.

We are so proud of her.

2 Challenges

        OK what started out has to do a challenge got me doing two other cards with their idea...
                       the challenge I had first chosen was Tuesday Morning Sketches

then I saw the Merry Monday Christmas Challenge

 

and thought maybe just maybe I could combine the 2 challenges

I loved the layout that Tuesday Morning had ..I must say It was a bit of a challenge

doing the Pink, White and  Silver

but here is my try at putting the 2 challenges together



just to show the card a bit open ...front paper is front Echo Park

the pink back is just a foil I had that it would give me that pink look.

Now this challenge from Tuesday Sketch got me to thinking and

well here are a couple of the cards I made up



took me a while to get the golfer and the card shape together then I cut it out

with my Cameo

just added a few items to get that golf course feel ...

then this card the little girls on the card are a Micheal Recollection item

the paper flowers scraps I really wanted the feel of a vine of flowers growing on a lattice



the paper I found was not really lattice but it gave me the look any ways

What do you think ?

 

Please stop by these two challenges and give them a try .

Have a great week.
