A Happy Scramper

Card Challenge Combo

 Hey there....happy Thursday to you! 

What a GREAT day to be a QUEENSLANDER huh:-)))

(Source - Adam Head The Courier Mail)

Just popping in today to share a card for a few challenges.....the Waltzingmouse Sketch Challenge which looks like this...

...combined with the CREATE Blog Challenge which is to use Accordian flowers.....and last week's CR84FN Colour Combo (Yes silly me missed a week!)

So what did combining all those result in for me.....this.....

Background paper from Prima's Madeline paper pad; yellow paper from October Afternoon. I used the Doily Lace Punch on one flower and the Loop Edge Punch on the other - both Martha Stewart. Sentiment from There She Goes Day or Night set and black swirly line from Waltzingmouse.

I do hope to get time to do the new colours for this week's CR84FN challenge....amongst other crafting I want to do today.

I hope you have an equally lovely day...it's certainly a picture perfect Winter's Day here in SE Qld:-))

Play Date Cafe and Waltzingmouse Sketch Challenge

 

Hey there....how's your week going so far??

I'm popping in quickly tonight to share a card that was a   h u g e   challenge for me. Not only did I find the Waltzingmouse Sketch tricky (very plain for my liking lol) but I also found the colour combo from The Play Date Cafe HARD......I just don't use those colours....ever.....bright green??? - what the?......so it was a real challenge!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

So I can honestly say this card is not a favourite....in fact I'm not sure I even like it lol!

 
I used a little motif from the Waltzingmouse set Vintage Label 10 to stamp the blue patterned background.

 

Tonight I'm much happier to be playing with pink, black and cream for Mona's current CR84FN Colour Challenge.......much more within my comfort zone :-))

I'll be back soon to share...thanks for your visit tonight!

Sweet Sunday Sketch Challenge

 

Hey there.....how's your weekend going so far?

Another part of our beautiful world being affected by another natural disaster over recent days....hubbie was in Japan last year and our thoughts and prayers are with those we know over there. We haven't been able to make contact with them yet.

For us, today has meant more car shopping.....and we have finally made our decision. Too many cars means too many choices lol. We will soon be the owners of  this sweet blue beauty....

 
....it's the Hyundai i30 SLX Turbo Diesel.......very economic for all the driving I do each week.

I'm relieved to think that we don't have to take up next Saturday looking at cars again :-))

Last night I played happily with Karen's Sweet Sunday Sketch Challenge which looks like this.....

 
I had darling Waltzingmouse stamps that I wanted to play with again so here's my interpretation.....

 

 

Cardstock: Cream

Patterned Paper: Websters Waiting for Santa and Sweet Season

Stamps: Waltzingmouse Holiday Label No.14; Crafty Secrets Bird Notes Set

Ink: Versa Colour

Embellishments: Collections Chipboard Heart; Distress Crackle Paint Antique Linen; Kaisercraft Pearls; MS Pansy Border Punch; lace; Prima flower; string.

 
I had so much fun with these sweet crafty goodies.

Tonight I have big plans to stay up til the wee hours crafting my little heart out......wish me luck! Hope you are fitting in some crafty fun this weekend too.

See you again soon....thanks for popping in!
