MFW Ready Made Embellishment 2

I'm very excited about this challenge! I have so many embellishments just sitting there waiting to be used and I always feel guilty buying more, when I haven't used the ones I had previously bought because I just 'had to have them'!!! Know what I mean????

So here is my 2nd card for the Ready Made Embellishment challenge at MFW.

The paper, tag, sentiment sticker and chipboard house are from Dear Lizzy.
Please excuse the shadows, but I wanted the sunlight on the card.

MFW The Ready Made Embellishment Challenge

Cath has another challenge for us, to celebrate the handmade Cards magazine release.
This Moxie Fab challenge is to use any ready made embellishment to make a card.
What a great opportunity to use up all that stash!!!

My first card was actually used on the weekend for a friend of my daughter.

The journal card is from Dear Lizzie and I love the sentiment, especially when it's for a birthday party.
The paper is from Kikki K an Australian stationary shop.

It's funny, I was about to put 'store' instead of 'shop' - it seems that blogging is making me talk 'American'!!!

Penny Black Colour Challenge and Muse Card Challenge

Penny Black are having a Christmas Colour challenge to celebrate their new release. You can actually make Christmas, birthday or anything in between, so long as you use one of the colour combos.
I'm also entering this in the Muse Card Challenge #35.

Muse Card

I have used Penny Black Lace Trims and Sentimental stamps and butterfly dies. The tag was also made using a PB die. I coloured the butterflies with Pan Pastels. 

Case Study Challenge 157 take 2 and MFWTuesday Trigger

Moxie Fab World TT In transition

CARD No.2 for Case Study  and Tueday Trigger
My second card is the brightest card I've ever made!
I used water colour pencils and then swiped a damp sponge across to blend a little bit.
The feathers are my other brand new dies from Memory box - definitely in love with these!

Case Study Challenge - Kathy Racoosin week 2

Another quick couple of posts. Dad had a fall yesterday and he is very confused and unwell today so I'm going to sit with him for a while.

I made 2 cards for this weeks Case Study Challenge - I love Kathy's card.

CARD No. 1

 This is my 1st card. I white embossed and then sponged the card with distress inks to make it look like a fence. The stamps and dies  are  brand new from  Lawn Fawn - very excited about that!

Less is More #146

Here's another card made for the Less is More Colour challenge - Dark green and rust.
Well of course those colours just spoke of Fall, although it's Spring here and I had some *NBUD (never before used dies) from Impression Obsession.
I will also enter this in the Addicted to Stamps and More challenge - Make your Mark

I used a combination of Twinkling H2Os, distress inks and perfect pearls on the leaves.

* Borrowed (and adapted) acronym from Darnell

Muse Card Challenge

What a day! Sorry, just saying! It started with the school drop off drive being like a dodgem car ride (amazing how a little bit of rain can make people go crazy!). Then I got a call from my 87 yo Mum to say my Dad had cracked it (do you Americans know that expression?) with his nurse at Rehab hospital and refused to let her back in the room. Calmed Mum down, sorted the hospital situation, then went to visit my 92 yo Uncle in Nursing Home and spent 1/2 an hour explaining that there was no-one else in the dining room yet because it was only 11am and lunch was at 12pm. Next I went to visit my brother who has just finished chemo and got all clear last week, but then got a chest infection with high temp and elevated heart rate!

So I'm home again now and needed a bit of card making therapy - here is my 1st card. It is for the Muse Card Challenge - this weeks Muse is Therese Calvird.

Here is my take...
