Crafty Cardmakers Challenge #260 Create Your Own Background, what a fun challenge this is. I created my background by filling a dish with foam shaving cream, adding a few ink drops of different green shades to it, and stirred it very gently. I placed my sheet of white cardstock onto the foam and this was the end result.

This card is for a brother-in-law who is hitting the big one and he is officially becoming an
'old man' (I cannot wait to give him the gears)!!.  He was born in Newfoundland so I thought he might enjoy the nautical theme and I am actually quite pleased with the outcome.

A tri shutter wedding card for my niece, using the colours she had chosen (black, white and green) for her wedding. I love tri shutter cards but very seldom make them, but for this occasion, I thought it was an appropriate fold. I have had this card in my non published file for a while and decided this was a good time to post it.  The sentiment is a very old Lexi's Creations digital one I have had for many years.

So, we agreed to celebrate when things return to some normalcy. The waterfall pages contain sentiments and pictures of the two of us through the decades.

Kim is hosting today's challenge and the theme is Celebrations
ATG. As usual, anything you care to enter is fine, a card, scrap layout, mixed media piece,  some home decor as long as it meets the 'Celebrations' theme.

I choose to celebrate a best friend who I have known since grade 9, oh so many years ago. I have made this card while in COVID-19 seclusion and sent it to her as a small attempt to bring some cheer during this Shut Down of 2020, a just because  card.

I used a die-cut for the black swirls and the frame of the burlap sentiment which came from an old paper pack. The tag came from my stash, origin unknown. The stamped words on the tag are from Stampin Ups 'Amazing You' and ' Express Yourself' stamp sets.

Have a great shut-in- day!

Crafty Cardmakers Challenge #255 Green Album

Angela is hosting today's challenge with the theme 'Anything But A Card', therefore. anything you enter is fine, a scrap layout, mixed medium piece, or some home decor, as long as it is not a card.

I made this waterfall album for a dear friend and fellow crafter as a gift. The waterfall pages contain 'sayings', not pictures, some humorous, some not.  Had some trouble with the paper as I ran out of it and had to use my printer to print out enough to finish the project. Thanks be, my copier was up to the job and the colours remained true. Was pulling my hair out at time lol!

Marlene is hosting today's challenge, Easter.

I chose a wonderful digital stamp from Beccy's Place for my Easter image. This image is upgraded from a previous version but both are wonderful.  I love the bunny, he is just so much fun.  The image was pre-coloured so I just added additional shadows to it. The flower die was a gift from a dear friend. Hope you like!
