Brrrrummy Birthday!

Good morning!

It is time for our latest challenge at CAS-Colours and Sketches, and this week, as it's the 5th week, it's the double! Yup! A colour combo and a sketch!

So here is Jacqueline's challenge for you...

I was initially a little stuck with the sketch, but then in a flash of inspiration I came up with this...

I have used a retired stamp for the dune buggy, but the rest of the products are current. I stamped the chevrons from Work Of Art, in Chocolate Chip, onto a couple of Essentials Wooden Elements...don't you think they look like tyre tracks?

The sentiment is from Remembering Your Birthday, and I attached the ribbon with staples.

So after an initial struggle, I am quite pleased with my card!

We're looking forward to seeing your cards this week...go on...push yourself out of your comfort zone!

Less Is More - Sand

Good morning LIMettes!

How are you? I have had such a busy week this week, with various things going on...I'll be glad to slow down....eventually!

So when I woke up this morning I did my usual thing and grabbed my phone to check out this week's challenge at Less Is More before I got out of bed!

SAND

 Hmmmm....I will be honest and say that it didn't really rock my boat! Or did it? ;) Here is what I came up with...

I was going to be obvious and use Sahara Sand ink or card, as that was the first thing that popped into my head, but when I got it out it didn't look all that 'sandy' to me! So I went for a beachy theme and used Crumb Cake card as it looked a bit more realistic. I stamped the the boat in Soft Suede onto vellum.

The other colours are Bashful Blue and Baja Breeze, both retiring this weekend along with the fab Need For Speed stamp set :(

Supplies

Cardstock - Whisper White, Crumb Cake, Baja Breeze, Bashful Blue

Stamps - Need For Speed, Teeny Tiny Sentiments

Ink - Soft Suede

Keiran's Need For Speed!

Good morning!

So, as predicted, I didn't get any crafting done last night! So instead I'm going to show you what Keiran (aged 5) made for his Daddy for Father's Day...

Isn't it fab?! He used all my Stampin' Up! supplies, and he even cut out the letters himself using my Bigshot and my Alphabet Bigz dies. He even stamped the jet and the quad from the Need for Speed set all by himself!

Supplies

Ink - Chocolate Chip

Dies - Bigz Typeset Alphabet

Good morning!
Here is another card I made at Jen's on Saturday...can you see a theme yet? Yup! Men! I needed some male cards so I have made quite a few!

I embossed my Night of Navy card panel with the Argyle EF, and then trimmed the edge for some shape. It was supposed to be the other way round but I didn't notice til the whole card was stuck down lol! I stamped the car in Rich Razzleberry and fussy cut it out, mounting it on Stampin' Dimensionals.

Supplies

Cardstock - More Mustard, Midnight Muse

Designer Series Paper - Brights

Stamps - Need For Speed, Itty Bitty Banners
