May Challenges - Just in Time

  


Today I worked on a couple of challenges. First, is the page above of my brother Jim as a little boy about 40 years ago. I entered it in the Creative Scrappers sketch challenge #210. The journaling isn't completed because the page is for my mom's album and I'm going to have her decide what she would like written in the journaling area. I used papers from the Paper Loft's Back Country line. The second page I finished was for A Cherry on Top May supply list and color challenges. This month's color was brown and the supplies I used were: 3 or more pennants, flower, oversized photo, ribbon, and a bird.


I really enjoy working on these old photos and making beautiful pages while accomplishing some of the wonderful challenges that are posted each month.

Kraftin' Kimmie Anything Goes and PP#358

Image
Kraftin' Kimmie's Anything Goes was the inspiration for these two cards. Using the August sketch and the KKS stamp Birthday Lulu for the first card I created a cute birthday card. The second card was made with the Zinnia Bouquet stamp from Taylored Expressions.  Turning the sketch and using different colors made them completely unique.  Also entering the second card into the Paper Players challenge 358 for emphasis on coloring. By using monochromatic colors the focus is on the colored image. Lulu's Birthday Wishes Stamp: KKS (Birthday Lulu), Taylored Expressions  (zinnia bouquet) PP: Daisy Bucket (At the Cape), Doodlebug (lilac grid) Dies: MFT (stitched circle, stitched oval) Other: rhinestones,  colored pencils Bouquet of Wishes Stamp: Taylored Expressions  (zinnia  bouquet ) PP: Recollections  (green gingham, green pindots) Cdstk: Bazzill (lime crush, tangerine) Dies: MFT (stitched circle) Other: ribbon, colored pencils

Retro Sketches #154

I really liked this card when I finished it today. I'm always being asked for birthday cards for boys so I used the sketch from Retro Sketches as my starting point for this one. The skateboarder has been in my collection for quite a while and I knew that it would be perfect. I paired the stamp with paper from the Echo Park Scoot 6x6 paper pad and created this fun card. Supplies Cardstock - MFT (Nightshift Blue, Blu Raspberry, Gumdrop Green, Orange Fizz) Patterned Paper - Echo Park (Scoot paper pad) Ink - Versafine(Onyx Black) Stamp - Stampendous ( Skateboard Kiddo) Dies - MFT (Mix & Match Banners) Button Colored Pencils Inside Sentiment - Sweet N Sassy (Birthday Innies)

Image
   Today's card is based on this sketch by CAS(E) this Sketch and features stars for the Merry Monday Challenge. I wanted a card that was bright and colorful so I started with the paper from Recollections that I've been holding in my stash. The sentiment stamp is from Inkadinkado set called Warm Holiday Wishes and it has stars mixed throughout the lettering. The red and green stars in the lower corner are affixed with foam adhesive to give some dimension. Supplies Stamp - Inkadinkado (Warm Holiday Wishes) Ink - ColorBox (Cranberry) Paper - Recollections Dies - MFT (Layered Label Die) Star Punches White Brad
