Money Holder ...

.. the next challenge was to make a money holder. This one measures 4"x4". The title is embossed, inspired by Audrey's challenge over on the Backporch Memories CyberCrop. And inside:

365 Cards - Gift Card Holder ...

... so in a bid to make more cards I decided to play along with this week's challenges on 365 Cards. This week is all about scoring, so the first challenge is a gift card holder. It measures 4"x3.5": Here's a peek at inside:

One last one ...

... have managed to squeeze one last LO out of the Scarlet Lime kit. It's a scraplift of Ronda Palazzari (the P-Man LO in this link) and I was really attracted to it as it's a great way to use up scraps. The journalling is about DD1's first time of the lead rope.

Happy Belated Easter...

... hope whatever you did it was a good one. I had an overnight stay near Chester and then off to see family in Torquay. So have finally managed to blog a couple of things I did last week. A LO from the Scarlet Lime kit - I now have no uncut sheets of paper from this kit, which I think is first, especially to use it up in the month the kit arrives!Secondly, a card for the UKS monthly challenge, which is to use predomiately Pink, Red or Orange. I went for Orange!

Using the stash...

... I'm more than happy to cut into a piece of new paper and to prove it, here's some LOs using my newest stash aquisitions!

The first is a sketch challenge from MOJOHOLDER using Sassafras Lass Yummy Vintage paper.
The second is also a sketch contest from PAGEMAPS using MME Bloom papers. That background paper has got to be one of my most favourite at the moment, I think I might have to get another sheet!

The theme for this contest is "What's On My Mind", as it's being sponsored by MME (you didn't have to use their papers, but seeing as though I had them sat on my desk!) The title is 'Fairy Thoughts' and the journalling reads "At the end of a busy party, in your new PJS, lost in your own thoughts."

Ooh and here's another cards - Cosmo Cricket papers and I even got the Stickles out!

Sketches! - {by Tamara}...

... I found this website when I was looking for card blogs, but it also does Scrapbookign challenges, including this sketch one I did. It documents about how DD1 has just met her American cousin for the first time and was completely smitten with her! Have used the new scrummy Cosmo Cricket Girl Friday papers.

Cards ...

... I'm not a card maker, but I really want to be. With so many scraps, it seems a shame not to put them to use. So I've been merrily bookmarking lots of card blogs over the last couple of days for inspiration. I've made this one for a friend's birthday next week from the Scarlet Lime kit. This SEI paper is gorgeous, you can't tell from the photo but it's got a matt foiled effect to it. This colour combo is turning into one of my faves.
