Christmas, Sketchbook Saturday Challenge 60

 

Morning all, here's my second card for today...my mojo is flowing and I think I'm realising the urgency of getting on with my Christmas card....thankfully all the sketch challenges are lending themselves to Christmas cards. Here I've used the sketch from Random Acts of Creativity - Sketchbook Saturday. I really do like this sketch and think it would make a great birthday card...one with flowers of course.  Thanks for taking a peek

Christmas, Merry Monday #20

 

Yesterday I found this new (to me) blog challenge over at Always Playing with Paper - Merry Monday Challenge #20 to help me along with my Christmas card stash.  I really like this layout and quite pleased with the earthy colours from my MME Lost & Found Christmas paperpad and how it turned out. Thnaks for taking a peek

Christmas, The Sweet Stop Sketch

 

Oh thank you, thank you blog challenges for your sketches today, they've all helped with my card stash.  Here I've used the Sweet Stop Sketch SSS159, with a spin - to also use ruffles. Thanks for taking a peek.

Christmas, Deconstructed Sketch

 

Here's my fourth Christmas card for the day using the Deconstructed Sketch #52 - I coloured this bauble with my twinkling H2Os and had to mix the colours to get some variety...it worked ok.  Thanks for taking a peek.

Christmas, Our Creative Corner

 

I seem to be on a roll today...although Vikki and I are experiencing a lot of trouble with Skype.  I was pleased to see a sketch challenge with Our Creative Corner this week and as my cards are it's good to see my card stack growing. I've just made to challenge post in time but I do like this sketch so will be making a few more with different papers.  Thanks for taking a peek.

Christmas, CardPatterns: Sketch 165

 

Well this Christmas card is using really weird non traditional colours...using the wreath patterned paper as the base colours - it's one of those sheets out of a pad that is really difficult to match. I used the Card Patterns sketch 165 for my layout...I'm not sure I'm that happy with the finished card-anyway thanks for taking a peek

Christmas card, MojoMonday 241

 

A quickie Christmas card I finished off this morning to add to my pile....it's been growing very slowly of late so my focus is to use as my challenges to add to that in the next 4 weeks. This one is an inverted version of the MojoMonday 241. Thanks for taking a peek.

Waltzingmouse Sketch, i(heart)sketches, Male cards

 

 

These top two Birthday card were made quite quickly as I needed to get them in the mail and so having a sketch for inspiration is a big help. My first card I made using the Waltzingmouse Sketch WMSC97 using some blockish colours and a bit of embossing. The second using the  i(heart)2stamp - May sketch with a bit more colour and a page out of an old dictionary....the photos don't do them justice.
The last card is for a friends 60th...didn't have any chipboard numbers so decided to wish him a belated 59th just before his big six zero. Thanks for taking a peek.
