DCM Golden and OpShop

Last week's Little Extra on DCM was left quite open really. It was simply 'Golden'

This is the card I made for it.

The background paper is far more golden IRL.

For the OpShop challenge i bought this Hawaiian flower chain thingy. Its was all they had. There was no bits'n'bobs at all.

Then this is what i did with it.

DCM Big and Little Challenge

Here's what was asked

Big & Little We'd like you to use items in pairs of Big and Little - so you need to have both sizes on your card ie big & little buttons, big & little die cuts, big & little hearts, big & little circles etc The theme of your card can be whatever you like this time, so that's nice of us, isn't it?

And here's what I did.



I used big and little sizzix hearts, prima flowers, eyelets and buttons. I wonder does the two different size fonts count too or am I just pushing it??

Pencillines Sketch #49

This is my take on this weeks pencillines sketch. This is a pic of me and my BF taken at my 21st bday a few years ago. (sorry for the poor pic but its nighttime and i took it indoors)

By now you've probably guessed that i like using sketches and i find that pencillines is really getting my mojo up and going. I suppose i reckon that if i keep up with the sketches i'm at least getting one LO a week done.

BTW for anyone who hasn't seen Scrapwest are doing a cybercrop shortly to celebrate their 1st anniversary. Sholud be great coz all the girls on their DT are fab.

Pencillines Sketch #48

This was another great sketch and I loved working with it. I really like how my LO turned out . The only thing missing is journalling. I might add a journalling spot in the bottom right corner of the LO but to be honest I don't really have much to say about the photo. I don't know when it was taken or who took it - I just like it.

Pencillines Sketch #47

This is my take on the pencillines sketch for last week
Really liked this sketch coz it suits my style - I tend to use straight clean lines. I really have to push myself anytime I want to try anything different.


Was kinda stuck with the title for a while coz I didn't want to write on photo - haven't done it before and I was a bit scared but gave it a bash anyway.


This is one I finished off last night. Started it ages ago but didn't have the smaller photo and it was just missing something.

Scrapwest Sketch

Audrey put this sketch up on her blog (http://faeriewingscraft.blogspot.com/) for ScrapWest last week

- she got it from SusieQScrapbook.

And this is what I did with it.

I love these papers and have had them for ages and never gotten a chance to use them. I actually have loads of pink papers but never had a photo that suited until now so I'm delighted to finally be able to do something with them and I loved using this sketch. Its simple but I think its really effective.


Also did this card. It was quite simple really but i like how it turned out.

A Trio of Welsh Barbers ...

... This is the challenge for Daring Card Makers this week and here's the explanation

( Dai is a common Welsh nickname for David and as there are a lot of Dai's around they are known by their jobs so a Welsh barber would be known as Dai Cuts.)

So this is what i came up with.

I used three different dies - the butterfly is one, the second is the banners and then all those flowers at the end are from a third die.
TFL.
