A whole load of challenges - completed!

Ok so I had a long list of challenges I wanted to have a go at so this morning I started making a card to go with this sketch over at Cupcake Crafts Challenges.



I had a digital stamp I bought from Digi Stamp Boutique, the stamps are called Lilly so now I am thinking I could combine it with the challenge over at Dare u 2 Digi stamp, they want you to use Lilac and Lemon on your card.

On the Lilac background paper I added glitter to the ends of the swirls, the dots on the parcel and to the flowers so now it also fits with the challenge at The Secret Crafter. This is challenge #32 and they are asking for Glitter.

As it is a Birthday card it is eligible for the challenge on A Spoon Full of Sugar whose challenge is number #52 and is in celebration of their 1st birthday

So here is my card

It uses the sketch, it is Lilac and Lemon, it has both Glitter and Gems and it is a Celebration card, phew that has knocked a few off my list.

Hope you like it

365 Cards - Day 80 - You're so Plaid and Papertake Weekly #15

I am already behind with my challenges this week and it is only Wednesday, I wanted to get so much done yesterday but in the end I got nothing crafty made at all but I did manage to achieve something !

I went from this; which is a picture of my ribbon box tipped out on the floor which I normally have to do to find the bit I am looking for

To this

All neatly stored away in cookie jars I bought from Tesco for 94p each, a real bargain only; I have already bought 5 and will need at least another 11 as I want to use them for my flowers as well.

With the help of my Daughter Sarah we have completely transformed my office/craft room which was needed after a small shopping trip to the range yesterday where I bought a few bits then couldn't find anywhere to put them when I got home so that is why I didn't get anything made yesterday.

So this is the card for yesterday's challenge over at 365 Cards which is all about plaid. Whether you use plaid patterned paper or whether you create a plaid pattern on your card, make sure plaid is involved.

I used this sketch from Papertake Weekly challenge #15 which was by Dawny P

and came up with this card for both challenges

This is going to be for my Son's Brother In Law as they play Golf together every weekend if they get the chance and he has a birthday coming up.

The card was cut from Mocha Bazzill and the papers were from my scrap box so I don't know who made them, the image is Digital from Digi Stamp Boutique and is called Jim 'Just Chillin'. The golf Club is hung from a red paperclip, not sure where that is from either but it is amazing what you find you have when you have a sort out.

Well off to work today but I will be back later with Wednesdays card I hope!
