Card Set Gift

365 Cards - Day #354 - PRICKLEY!

At 365 Cards, the Day #354 was PRICKLEY.... this challenge was rather hard as I had to figure out how to make my card to be prickley!!!  Well, it's because this challenge is all about texture. Specifically, we'd like to see something with texture that's not smooth or soft, but rather fits under the description of "prickley".



Here is my best I can do... I punched out some snowflakes and pulled some upwards to make them prickley.  The snowflakes turned into three flowers!

365 Cards - Day #353 - Just Hanging Around

At 365 Cards, for Day #353, we need to just hang around!  The challenge was to hang at least two items from floss, string, ribbon, twine, or some other similar material.

For my card, I have used two small buttons with twine.

365 Cards - Day #352 - Adding a Little Bulk - Cardboard

At 365 Cards -  A New Card Challenge Every Day, they wanted us to Use chipboard as the base for a decoration on your card. Any size, any shape, any theme.


For this flower shaped card, I used the cardboard from the back of the package of the cardstocks I bought,  I punched the card board with the jumbo large scalloped punch twice.  I scored both of the flower die cut at the very top and then I glue them together.

It was fun making this shaped card!

BLOWING IN THE WIND - (Sharlene's Sketch #1 Challenge)

At 2SF, Sharlene posted her first sketch challenge.  Of course she HAD to add a star on her sketch.  I was pleased when I saw her sketch.

Here is my layout.  I have decided to move the star (almost everything else) to the left side because of my second right page layout. I left the banners at that corner so that I can have some room for the clouds and the bird as a kite.

I realized that I did not include a square background a bit smaller than the bottom cardstock after I glued the stars on.

I have decided to move the title under the border. I fancy cut the two flowers from the pp and put them beside the pictures and above the border.

Some close ups...
 

Thank you Sharlene for the awesome sketch!

SNOWBOARDING - Sharon's Crafty Challenge at 2SF - Use TWINES

Sharon, DT of 2 Scrapbook Friends had a crafty challenge for us, the scrappers. 
I used the sketch from Sketchabilities. The wintery patterned papers I used were from Fancy Pants, "Arctic Chill".

Some close ups of the twines that I used. I have used the eyelets to loop the twine around. I have stitched some areas up with twines. I have wrapped the letters up with some twines. I even BRAIDED the twines. It was good to see how many different ways we can use with twines!

I am going for the second page layout. Hopefully soon I can start working on that one.

Sharon, thank you for this fun twine challenge.

2SF's January Product Challenge Kit

2SF had this wonderful monthly product challenge kit.  It is always interesting to look through what the store have prepared and put in the kit!

Last night I searched for the "RIGHT" pictures for this product challenge kit... and I found some! Janna was doing some kiting at the Deaf camp last August.

I really enjoyed doing this challenge. There were some "parts" in the kit that I was not too "fond" of.... but I challenged myself to use everything and to make the best out of it. And I DID! I am pleased with the outcome of this challenge project.

One thing was heartbreaking... but I had to do it. It was chopping off the Carolyn's Cutting Cafe checklist. Not to worry, I plan to put the remaining of the checklist onto the second page that will go with this LO.

For the butterfly, I decided to wrap it up with some delicious twines for its body and even the antenaas. In the kit, there were three teardrops. I added some more from my stash. For the cut off checklist, I cut one yellow rose from the rose strip to add to the checklist to show that she is sweet.

This picture was challenge as I wanted to show Janna running pulling the kite. I found this arrow on the pp in this kit, just perfect to point out the kite!

Just love this picture as it really showed the action of kiting!  I love the two signs - good times and memories. They were found on the pp in the kit!

Thank you 2SF for this fun challenge!

Thanks for visiting!

Always Dream in VIVID COLOURS (Sharon's #1 Sketch Challenge)

At Two Scrapbook Friends, there is Wednesday: Sketch Challenge and it was Sharon's turn to create a sketch.  It was her first one.  I think she did an awesome job. 

Here is Sharon's sketch challenge.

Here is my LO based on Sharon's sketch.

My favorite part of this LO is the cute owl!  Do you agree that it is very cute!?

I did this tonight for an online crop with three other wonderful scrappers.  We all four do not live close to each other so it was brilliant to have this online challenge.  It was my turn to throw in the challenge.  I threw in that we all had to do the "Tie and Dye" theme as I knew we all did the tie and dye activity at a Deaf event last summer.

I believe that the other scrappers enjoyed my thrown challenge!  I sure look forward to the next online crop with them!

Two Scrapbook Friends' Colour Challenge

Christa, a DT at 2SF posted a colour challenge.  Here are the four colours.

I looked through my scrap papers.  I found some good ones.  I was thrilled to be able to use the scrap papers and they matched the colours!

I started with this one card.

I was enjoying myself and that I ended up with FOUR cards!  I continued using the same papers that I started with and tried my best to use them all up!  I was looking at different challenges that were posted by other scrapbooking blogs.  I did one for 365 Days - A New Card Challenge Every Day, Clean & Simple Stamping, and Crazy 4 Challenges.

I am thinking of giving the cards as a gift set to someone.  I wrapped the cards with a bow!

Now you know why my colour theme continued for the below cards.  I just did not want to do 4 or 5 challengs on ONE card.  I preferred to do each challenge on its own card.  And I achieved this tonight!

Like I mentioned in the previous post about YELLOW.   I had to constantly remind myself that I must add yellow to the cards.... as the colour challenge included YELLOW!

"A Rare Opporunity" Layout - Belt Buckle Challenge

Today I decided to do this 2SF CRAFTY CHALLENGE!   The challenge was to use a belt buckle.

I am pleased with the outcome of this. I simply used PP and cardstock for the belt buckle with the punches. I did some stitching. I used the MIRROR butterflies. (REMEMBER that the butterflies are DEAF) This is about Braden (our Deaf son) sitting and so focused on this wonderful talented ASL storysigner (storyteller). This man flew to our school from the states. Braden just loved his ASL stories. Our school had a event, Deaf Hertiage Month to celebrate our ASL Hertiage! The "B" at the left top corner represents the name of my son, Braden.


"A Rare Opporunity" is the main idea of this layout.

Thank you, Sharlene, DT for 2SF for this fun challenge!  You can click on her name to see her wonderful layout using a belt buckle!
