CCW Card Challenge

Hello everyone!

We're back with a card challenge. Our sponsors this time are Bugaboo stamps.

and one lucky winner will get the prize below!


Our theme this week is 'Grandparents'. I went ahead and chose this cheeky chap since I thought of a grandson sending his grandparents a card saying he loves them even though he's a 'bit' naughty (maybe I can send this to my parents from my son since he's quite a handful! LOL).



I made a simple card with some basic stamping, wrapped some twine around the front and added a yummy peppermint looking button.

Hope you like it and hope you join us with our latest challenge!

See you soon!

It's a CCW card challenge again

And this time we're making cards for children!

Our sponsor this week is Stitchy Bear Stamps. I chose a cute little spidey and thought it would suit a birthday card for a boy.



I used some Cosmo Cricket papers again since the colours were bright and happy plus the numbers background was too cute to not use.

A winner will be chosen and will receive a selection of yummy digi images.

So I hope you do join us for some card making fun.

See you soon!

CCW Card Challenge

Hello again!

This time I'm going to show you the card I made for our card challenge this week. The theme is 'Birthday's' - I know you're all going to love that!

Our sponsors are The Crafty Pad and the digi image I used was this adorable teddy holding a huge heart!

Here's my take -


I went for a long shaped card and used some cute patterned papers from Cosmo Cricket's 'Joyride' collection. They had some really cute colours! I coloured the bear using my Promarkers and then used my nestabilities to cut out the doily shapes. I also used distress inks to reduce the stark white background of my image.

Anyway hope you join us for the card challenge this week! And hope my mojo will stay with me because I need to use up some stash so I won't feel guilty when I get me some new Summer CHA goodies! Have you seen them?! Absolutely delicious LOL!

Till then!

It's Saturday!

And we have a double whammy with crafty coolness at CCW!

There's been a change in our challenges and starting this month there's going to be only one Scrapbook challenge a month - so more time for submissions and a great chance to win some goodies!

Anyway for this month we have this sketch to base our LOs on -

and here's my take -

I'll admit that it did stump me for awhile on how to actually carry out the LO. Could be my mojo trying to run away, could be the papers I was using or maybe I'm just tired since we're in the fasting month right now.

Hope your mojo is with you so come on over and have a go with the layout challenge here.

I'll be back real soon with our weekly card challenge!

CCW Card Challenge

Hi all!

It's CCW card challenge day and this time the theme is 'Anything but birthdays'.

Our sponsors are Robyn's Fetish and I've chosen a lovely trio of flowers.

Here's my take and I've chosen to create a 'thank you' card.


I did some background stamping with texts and some simple colouring. Love the outcome.

Hope you'll play along and have some fun!

Ribbon Reel sketch challenge

Hello,

It's been quite a while since I joined any card/scrapbook challenges. Anyway for Ribbon reel's sketch challenge, here's what I made with some delicious Basic Grey 'Sweet Threads' paper line. I love the happy, girly colours here. Not my usual palette in layouts but love to use them in cards
.
See you again soon!

Layouts

I've had a scrapping withdrawal during the last month since there wasn't enough time or energy for me to get crafty. But when my relatives went to Paris for three days and we had the house to ourselves I just HAD to clear my dining table and scrap, scrap, scrap!

First off I took out my Echo Park paper packs - it's not usual for me to purchase an actual whole paper pack but with Echo Park you can't go wrong. Everything just coordinates nicely even if you don't add anything outside of what's available in the package.

Anyway to start off I used the 'Little boy' collection pack which I purchased at CCW. I created 3 LOs. The papers are perfect and went well with the pictures I intended to use.


Next off I used the 'Life is good' collection and created this LO of my mom and her sisters at the beach with my grandma on Mother's day. I love complete family pics such as this and couldn't resist scrapping it. Lucky for me Facebook is available for my family to share what's been going on back home so I don't really miss out on anything (apart from me actually being there!)


I've also used the same collection to create this LO of me and my husband in Hyde Park. The picture was taken by my friend who visited last March. Since there's only us here, it's rare that we get our picture taken properly apart from the usual self taken shots which thankfully I'm quite good at! LOL


Anyway those were the LOs I created using the awesome Echo Park and I'm happy to note the packs have reduced so much in size. I'm going to try and use up everything so maybe my next couple of cards will use up the small scrap pieces.

See you next time!
