Cards, Cards, Cards, Cards!

*Mammoth Post Alert!*

No more Doctor Who 'til Christmas *sobs* but how fab was the 'season finale'?
Not watching anything much now, so more time for the art of papercrafting. Yay!

I tidied up too *gulps* and found some really old paper that came as part of my BOB prize - sheets and sheets of really garish K and Co paper that I thought I had better try and use up...It's like this pad but huge 12 by 12 sheets of brightness...

This weekend, I have mostly made;

1. A Card incorporating Melissa's challenge and the paper roses challenge from Justbex... *Birthday Cupcake*
Melissa's challenge was to make a card with the following rules;
Make a birthday card incorporating my favorite color, RED.
Must include something related to food---one of my other favorite things. (example--stickers, chipboard, die cuts, rubons---that have the image of a cupcake, birthday cake, candy---you know--sweet stuff)
Must have a bit of bling on it---glitter, jewels, gems---that sort of thing.
And, since I'm a July babe, and it's the 4th--must incorporate a star!
and... Sue set a challenge over on Justbex to use a paper rosebud on a card - you know those ones that you bought aaaaages ago and have since been banished to that box of stuff that you never use...

A red heart
A cupcake sticker
A bling brad
A pink star

and I found some paper roses eventually, and dismantled them to make them more user friendly :)
Paper is K & Co Patchwork, Basic Grey Chipboard, Bazzill Brads, Papermania Bling brad, Paperchase Cupcake, Staples and inking.

2. A card for CPS 20 and Esther's Die cut dreams challenge on JustBex... *Star*

Paper is again the K & Co stuff, with the addition of spotty 7Gypsies paper, Paperchase Ribbon, Prima, Sizzix Die Cut Star, Bling Brad is Dovecraft, Staples and Inking.

3. A Card for Caardvarks crop circle challenge and Esther's Fab Blooms Challenge on JustBex...

More K and Co paper, American Crafts Rub On, Prima, Bazzill Brad and Ribbon from Little Silver Hat.

4. A card for Sue's Flowers to Die For Challenge on JustBex and Jen's Challenge here to make a card using a white card blank with lots of the white showing.

Yup, more K & Co Paper, Bazzill Brad, my own design die flowers and doodling.

5. A Card for Samm's Challenge Doodle doodle do! on JustBex

I bought the flower at the Newbury show last year, Doodled frame, Printed sentiment and stitching and inking.

Phew if you are still here, TFL! :)
