Crafting When We Can Challenges 71 - Leftovers (use your scraps, nothing new)

Sorry to miss the last Challenge but I had an amateur production on and I help with the wardrobe and I've not been feeling well so I just didn't get around to keeping up with my DT work. So sorry to my DT colleagues and Sponsor for letting the side down but sometime life just won't play nice.

Anyhoo, the Challenge this fortnight is sponsored by

Sassy Studio Designs

4 images of your choice

Theme

Leftovers

use your scraps, nothing new

We were given a choice of image to use for this challenge and I chose Latte Momma Sassy.

All my papers and embellishments are things I took out of my scrap box. The papers are years old, the spellbinder die used is one of my oldest, the ribbon is out of my scrap ribbon box. I did use my Spectrum Noir pens but I feel like I've had these for ages too. The teacup and teapot are about 2 years old and coloured to match my image. The newest item I used is my petite petal pair punches, these are about 2 months old but I think I'm allowed these. :-) The sentiment is "There is no trouble so great or grave that cannot be much diminished by a nice cup of tea" by Bernard-Paul Heroux (and American politician). I feel this is so true, I love a good cup of tea at any time happy or sad.

Hop over to the Challenge and leave us your projects using things from your scrap box.

Crafting When We Can Challenges 69 - die cut/silhouette/craft robo shapes

For Challenge 69 over at Crafting When We Can Challenges we have a new sponsor, Nicole from

Inky Impression Stamps

The Winner will receive a $10 gift certificate to the store

Hop over to the Challenge and see the wonderful inspiration from our marvellous DT.

For my card I used one of my favourite craft items, my Craft Robo. I don't use this equipment enough but I love designing things on the computer to use when I can have it set up again. It's such a pain to have to keep packing it away. My OH claimed the space I had for his stuff. I'm thinking it's time I claimed it back.

I cut out a frame design I designed a while ago. I had trouble with it because my blade is old and didn't quite go through the card but it was easy enough to just cut the bits that didn't release. I used card from my stash for the base card and papers from DCWV stack 6 for my designer papers, I embossed the stripey paper and used a ribbon from a chocolate box to cover the join the papers. I then printed out my image Work Out Cat onto coated card and coloured with my spectrum noir pens and cut an oval with my robo. I used stickles to add the glittery dots and my cropodile to add the eyelets to the top corner. The background for the image was made with spectrum noir pens and distressed inks.

Crafting When We Can Challenges #24 - CASE it

Didn't know what CASE was until I read the post on the Challenge blog. Apparently you take something you like from a card and make your own. If you hop over to CWWCC you can see the proper definition.

Our wonderful sponsor for this challenge is

The Stamping Boutique

They are offering the winner 3 images of their choice from The Stamping Boutique.

We were given given great images to use and I decided to make a side step card using Picket Fence. First I printed the image and a sentiment onto the base card, then added the 2 side images which I cut from the main image. It was then coloured with flexmarkers and organza ribbon (also coloured with flexmarkers) wrapped around the bottom. The colours don't really show in the picture as I used a pearlised paper and then couldn't get a photo without it bleaching out.
