8th Birthday Card

Here is a card that I made tonight for my Nieces birthday on Saturday. In case you can't tell her favourite colour is GREEN. The background is Cosmos Cricket Girl Friday collection "Tuesday" double sided paper. The base card and the "8" are Stampin' Up cardstock. The "8" was cut on a Craft Robo and accented with Rangers Diamond Stickles. The boarder was done using a Fiskars leaf punch. The image was a free download from Mo Manning and was coloured in using ProMarkers. The title was done using K&Co K-ology chipboard Addison Alphabet. The card was finished off with a button tied with floss and ribbon.

Scrap Like You Mean it Week 25

It's been a while since I've done one of Shimelle's Scrap Like You Mean It challenge over on UKScrappers. Actually been a while since I've done much scarpbooking at all. However, managed to do this quick LO for this weeks challenge to use Blue & Green. This LO is for my heritage album. My Mom has just sent me these photo's of my parents wedding, so I thought I'd use them. I used PageMaps June sketch for the layout and used Polka Dot Embossed Bazzill card stock, Basic Grey Wisteria papers, stickers and brads. Edges were inked with Ranger Distress Ink in Broken China. Title was cut out on a Craft Robo using Missed Your Exit font. Then finished off the LO with buttons and a flower.

Sketch

I've been struggling to make a birthday card for a male friend, and this is finally what I've come up with. I decided to use the ISMAKI challenge sketch # 16. The optional challenge was to use 4 different matching patterned papers. So I used Basic Grey Sublime paper pack for this card and backed it onto a piece of Stampin' Up card stock. The corner was stamped with one of my favourite set of stamps at the moment, Basic Grey Two Scoops Swirlie stamps. I added a computer printed image coloured with watercolour pencils and a Crafty Individual stamp coloured with Ranger Distress Ink Mustard Seed and Dried Marigold. The card was finished with ribbon and buttons. I hope my friend will like it, to make up for it being very over due.

Now I've got to start thinking about another male birthday coming up soon. Why is it so hard to think of ideas for male cards?

Green, Round and Four

Green Four Round, originally uploaded by Bio-hazar.

Found this new thread on UKscrapper today in which someone has started a photo scavenger hunt. The idea is that three words are list and you find things to photography that match the words. It all open to interpretation and you can take photo that represent only one of the words or two or all. This weeks words were Green, Round and Four.

The above photo is using all three of the words and the one below using just "round and green". I had fun with this challenge and hope to take part often.



Other new from the same forum is that my "Frosty Morning" photo from my previous post in February as been chosen in the final 20 to be voted on. So if you are on UKS I'd love your vote!
