Yes I have been trying to make a card ...

a special card was requested ..

and I can honestly say 3 other cards

in to the garbage they went ...

so here is my end product ..

and this is the inside of the card
and the poem picked for it
I have given the card to who ordered
and she loved it ...
 

Here is a neat little gift a very dear friend thought....

I might find  neat to have and use

I thought she was giving me a bush of pencils

and I said oh yes Bare can always use pencils in his shop

then she showed me the ends of the pencils

HOW neat...

 with the

neat pencil eraser stamps ..

Merry Monday Christmas Challenge #99

Merry Monday Christmas Challenge

This week's challenge is brought to you by Margaret Moody! She is looking for some Christmas cards using the colours: 

Brown, Green, Gold with White or Cream!

so this is the card I came up with and the reason behind it was
that my SIL Nina had put up a family challenge
http://www.splitcoaststampers.com/resources/tutorials/magicalmaskingtape/
you can go there and watch the video

so I decide to do the Merry Monday Christmas challenge

 using the masking tape

sort of wish I had used softer greens and browns

the picture below show  off gold

then I did another card just simply

to show off the masking again

now the colors used are all Memento

the sentiments are Stampin Up

gold is dollars store paper

and so are the holly used on the xmas card

Make sure you check out the challenge over at

Merry Monday Christmas Challenge

and check out the SIL Nina and Barb

for their awesome takes on the masking challenge

Xmas Card

Well I got it done my card for

so I used the layout for this challenge

and then did my sewing ..and also tried the faux thing too..

I add a button to the middle of the flower and tied a gold thread in it.

the paper used is a sheet I got at the dollar store

the tree is made of scraps

the poinsettias flower is a cut from my Cameo

the sentiment is a peel and stick

Well enjoy the day half way thru to the weekend .

Colour

Less is More Challenge

Week 161 - Colour

For our colour challenge this month we have chose real Spring colours

YELLOW & GREEN

LIMettes always come up with such imaginative creations... we can't wait to see what appears!

Don't forget to keep it Clean and Simple and remember that white space!
This week's challenge does not necessarily have to bee a one layer card, although we are always  happy to see them in any of our challenges

 

So here is my try at the challenge

The yellow flowers are pressed dried flowers

the butterflies are from Micheal's Recollections

the sentiment is from Stampin Up

and so is the green from a big wheel Stampin Up

the white is just card stock

Have a great day .
