Bugaboo Christmas in July Monday Challenge - Day 3

Bugaboo Christmas in July 2019   

Catch the Bug Challenge Blog

Day 3 Monday Challenge Theme: Anything but a Card   with the movie  Santa Claus is Coming to Town as the inspiration source. As it has the song "Santa Clause is coming to Town'  in the movie I decided to create a project (Gift Bag) based on the words 'He is making a list and checking it twice' as my inspiration.  Bugaboo's Ho,Ho,Ho stamp seemed to be close enough lol!

Stamp: Bugaboo's  AKV Santa HoHoHo (not sure it is still available as I could not find it on the Blog)

Day 2 Sunday  A Sketch Challenge with the movie source Jingle All the Way 
  

I used the wonderful image from Bugaboo titled 'Crabby Cat Christmas' (one of my favourites), coloured him with Copics and gave him a layout as per sketch. The sentiment was taken from an old ticket stamp set from Whimsy stamps.

Crafty Cardmakers Challenge #238 Here Comes Summer

Crafty Cardmakers Challenge #238 Here Comes Summer.  Chanya is hosting today's challenge and you only have to make a summer-themed project such as a card, scrap layout, mixed media piece or some home decor, the choice is yours.  Have fun!
I used a Stampin' Up stamp set titled 'Beautiful You, Stampin' Up Pacific Point and Whisper White cardstock and two Stampin' Up punches. The flower and leaves are from a die-cut. The white background was embossed.

I picked this stamp set because what better way to reflect summer than a  scene of a girl in blue water and a lovely blue sky!

Crafty Cardmakers Challenge #237 Dies or Punches

             Crafty Cardmakers Challenge #237 Dies or Punches

Welcome to another challenge at Crafty Cardmakers and Jo is hosting today's challenge.

The theme of this weeks challenge is 'Dies or Punches'.  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 Dies or Punches theme.

I decided to do a wedding/anniversary type card in white, creamy  colours. This was not a good choice as it was practically impossible (for me) to take a presentable photo  (the frustration level was high lol!) and this was as good as it got. I do like the card though.

I used two flower border dies, two leaf dies and for the sentiment a small rectangular die.  The large flower was from a package bought at a local craft store.

Have a great day!

Crafty Cardmakers Challenge #236 Anything but a Card

Crafty Cardmakers Challenge #236 Anything but a Card. Angela is hosting today's challenge and anything you care to enter is fine as long as it meets the no card theme.




As you can see I chose to make a calendar-notepad holder. I wanted to make one back in January but could not find the calendar anywhere. I happened to be in a Dollar Tree the other day and right before me was one lone 2019 mini calendar, so of course, I bought it. I had to remove some months from the calendar but that's OK. (it now reads June lol!) Just a fun thing to make and I quite like it.

Card Details:
 I used Stampin' Up card stock, some designer paper, a mini calendar and a sticky note pad. The larger embellishment flowers were made from a jar of flower petals I found hidden in my stash. I punched some petals to which I added rhinestone centers and adhered them to the larger flower petals.  I added three more of the small punched petals for added interest and adhered them to die cut leaves I had glued to the background.

                        Do come, join the fun and share your creations with us!

Crafty Cardmakers Challenge #235 Masculine

    
     Marg is hosting today's challenge

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 masculine theme.

Do come, join the fun and share your masculine creations with us!  I chose to make a card featuring die-cut dragonflies, Stampin Up cardstock, some designer paper,  two tags, and some punched embellishments. The sentiment is from Stampin' Up.

Wow, it is June already! I had my plants out by the Victoria Day May long week-end, the grass is cut, the garden is starting to bloom and my dog and I quite happy about it all  (it was a long winter).  Now if only the forest wild fires would go away, the smoke can be ghastly.
