365 cards- day 12 circle frenzy.

The challenge was to create a card using 20 or more circles from 2 different sources. I ran core' dinations CS through my circle cuttlebug folder and then sanded it to reveal the colour underneath. Then i used a stamp from my invitation as the second source.

365 cards- Outer Space

When I think of outer space I think of the images of the universe. So when i was comming up with my card that is where i drew my inspiration from. To begin with i sprayed glimmer mist on my backround paper, and then i threw white paint at it. Creating my 'outer space' scene.

Thinking of Outer Space...

One of the challenges on 365 cards blog was to make a card inspired by outter space. Alot of people would think spaceships, aliens, Buzz lightyear- My sons influence lol, but not me.

Ive always loved the stars and the galaxy, ever since i was younger. Astronomy was always my favorite subject. And lately ive been rediscovering my love of the universe lol.

One of my favorite things about the universe is the images it holds. Have you ever seen a pictutre of a nebluar? Pick one, they're all just gorgeous clouds of colour. the images you can forn in your head when you think of outter space are endless.

I love to paint. Couldnt paint a portrait to save my life, but i still love to throw paint at a canvas (literally) and create something.

This is one of my favorites, inspired by the night sky and outer space.

So when the challenge went up reguarding outer space, i was reminded of my paintings and got my inspiration from there.

365 Cards- Signiture style

This week at 365 cards was a  'style and scraplift challenge all rolled into one.' Each design team member made a card based on there signiture style. We were then to make a card in that style as well as scraplift an element of that card.

My first card is number 353 Sophies style. Sophies style is 'Clean and Simple'. The element i scraplifted was the embossed backround. I used a CS with a different coloured core so when i sanded the top of the embossing it brough through the pink underneath.

My second card is number 362- Amys Style. Amys style is fun, bright, and whimsical, and the element i lifted was the handmade embellishment/'flower'.

Super sketchy week @ 365 Cards

I spent last night and this morning finishing my cards for the 365 cards sketch week. Im really happy with the cards that i made. The first one is for card number 353- Audreys Sketch.  

My second card is for card sketch number 355- Amys skeych. I made this into a 13x8 cm mini card, and sent it to a friend as an acceptance card.

My third card was for card number 356- Sophies sketch. Butterflys are my big fave at the moment. I dont really make a lot of girlie scrapbook pages, so i like to make girlie cards when i get the chance. Alot happen to feature butterflys.

I loved doing all this weeks challenges. A whole week of skethces. I love working from sketches, alot of fun.

365 cards- day 352 Glorias sketch

This week is sketch week  on the 365 cards blog. Every days card will be a new sketch. For Glorias sketch-  number 352, I decided to make a clear card. Clear cards being my new 'thing' at the moment. But i just cant seem to ge the wow factor that i see in other clear cards. O well, gotta keep trying i guess.
This card also fits the stamp n scrap blog challenge- red , black and white.

365 Cards- 346 Tuesday Trio

I finally found some time to update my blog and challenge entries. I had infact made another 3 cards for other  challenges besides this one, but i really dont like them. So i think im going to give them all another shot, and make some cards i AM happy with.

This card was for card 346 Tuesday Trio. Use Scollops, Ink distressing and Ribbon. And the best part was, i made this card using all scrap paper.
I was FINALLY sorting out my scrap paper collection yesterday- by sorting i mean attempting to make it look a little neater. I put my coloured CS in  snap lock bags by colour to save me searching through all my paper to find the colout i want. Its working really well for me so far.
