365 Cards #331 Nautical

365 Cards - A New Card Challenge Every Day  365 Cards - A New Card Challenge Every Day The challenge was Hmmmm - can it really be that simple? Why, yes it is. Today's challenge has a theme, and that theme is anything "Nautical".

My first reaction to the word, NAUTICAL was that what is it??? This was a new word for me to learn. I find it alittle hard to create something NAUTICAL. I have decided to go into my "BOY" organization stash and was able to find this sticker from a pirate collection for this challenge.

I am pleased with how it turned up. So here is my NAUTICAL card.

Thanks for looking!

365 Cards #333 - At This Moment

365 Cards - A New Card Challenge Every Day  wanted me to think about where am I at this very moment, whether it's the exact place or an activity I did today, that should be the thing that inspires my card.
 
Of course I was scrapping tonight.  I just knew what stamp to use.  I got this cute stamp of a scrapper from ScrapFest.  I decided to do this since I was scrapping, yet I was thinking of someone.  This card is specially made for Sharlene, my good friend, who recently made into the Design Team for Two Scrapbook Friends.  CONGRATULATIONS, SHARLENE!

 
I chose the chevon patterned paper because it seems to be HOT for this year, 2012 if you were looking through the CHA, many manufacturers have included chevrons this year.  So Sharlene, I believe you will keep this card and the chevrons will remind you of the HOT CHEVRON during the year of 2012!
 
I have decided to use the copic markers.  I still am learning how to use them....  The colours I have used on this cards are YR04, YR07, E00, E35, E33, YG03, R24, RV34, B00, E31, E11, E15, R81, RV 02 and 0.  I enjoyed myself colouring the cute scrapper!
 
The ScrapFest theme colour is PINK!  I decided to do their SCRAPFEST bag coloured PINK!
 
Again, CONGRATULATIONS to you Sharlene, here is your "online" card.  You will get this real card when I see you in person!

A Better Picture of What the COLOURS Are!

Since I wanted to do more cards this yea, a couple of days ago I decided to do this "Organization project",  I have been using my stamps and ink pad more because of cardmaking which is good.  It would be a waste to leave them inside the drawer.  I have the stamping ink pad holder holding the ink pads and it is now on the scrapping table.  While I worked on a card again, and again, I had to search for which shade of specific colour would be PERFECT for the specific card.  So I decided to clear up my table and started cutting up the index cards into halves.  Then the fun started.... I stamped a flower using EACH of the colours that I have!!! I also labelled them following their colour names which were identified by the Stampin' Up. I punched holes and installed a ring.  There is my new COLOUR RECORD BOOK!

The outcome of this orgranization effort, I see that it became easier and speedier I do the card!  Just PERFECT!  This will promote me keeping doing the cardmaking!

2SF - Tuesday Scrappy Challenges

For Two Scrapbook Friends, there were two challenges that I did for this double page layout.

The left side was to use the sketch from PageMap that Sharon (DT) challenged us to do.  I enjoyed doing this sketch.

The second challenge was to use the banners.  I have done this challenge before but I decided to submit it to 2SF's Tuesday Scrappy Challenge....  For this right page of a double page layout, I used a sketch from SCRAP MUCH?  They had a Sketchy- Friday.  I started following this sketch but at the end, most have been changed following my needs and to coordinate with the left page of a double page layout.

Together the double page layout here!

I REALLY love the orangutans!!!

Thank you for looking!
