Initial Thoughts

This week's dare was set by the lovely Rein and it is a massively challenging one!

It's Rein (or Rika) here today and my,dare this week is:
"The First Letter"
I'd like you to put things on your card which begin with the first letter of your name.
You can use other things too, but see if you can use at least 3 things that share their initial letter with your own name.

For example my name is Rein so I could use rose, robot, radio, raven...

I made this;

Using a Journalling card, Jovial(!) Snowmen, Jolly(!!) holly, Jute, Jingle(!!!) bells, a Joy to the World rub on, and Junkshop(!!!!) buttons.

I used;
October Afternoon papers journalling card and rub on
Martha Stewart Punch
Kraft card
Melissa Frances rub on
Heidi Grace holly
Hand stitching and inking.

Scraplings

Paula set a fantastic challenge over at Daring Cardmaker's this week;

Scraplings are little narrow cards made from scrap cardstock. You know how when you make a card from a a piece of A4 or Letter sized cardstock you're left with an off-cut? Well that's the basis of a Scrapling. When folded in half, the Scrapling's card front will measure roughly 2 1/2" x 4 1/4" , though this depends of course on the size of card you were making in the first place!

So, dig out your scraps and make either a card or a gift tag!
The team have been having fun using up their off-cuts this week and have come up with all these ideas to get you thinking.

After a few false starts, I eventually made these;



I used;

Paperchase penguins (gift wrapping paper and stickers)
American Crafts papers
Vintage Manuscript
Lace and Scalloped trim from Abakhan
Doodlebug brads
Crafttime Snowflakes
Handstitching and inking

TFL :D
