It's Kinda Eclectic!

Hi everyone,

Happy World Card Making Day for yesterday. I didn't get around to blogging yesterday, but I did manage to spend about an hour in my craft room and ended up making another Christmas card, but I will save that one for later. Instead I will share with you some cards I whipped up this morning. DD10 has yet another Birthday Party to go to today so I thought would keep adding to my stock of cards ready to go. This time I pulled out Kinda Eclectic. Now I love this stamp set, but sadly don't really know what to do with it. All my inspiration has come from the web and if I have CASED one of your cards please let me know. I do like to give credit where credit is due.

The first card is a CASE of one from Connie Babbert  (just click on her name and it will take you to her card).

I loved the colours that Connie used and decided I would have to use them too. Island Indigo, Hello Honey and Tangelo Twist really work well together.

The next card I made is the one that DD10 decided to use today.

I think she just likes Melon Mambo. I have also used Marina Mist, Wild Wasabi and Daffodil Delight. Please excuse the retired ribbon.

This is the last of the cards.

Once again I have used Marina Mist, Melon Mambo and Daffodil Delight.

Cheerful Christmas meets The Paper Players Challenge

Hi everyone,

I thought today I would have a go at one of the many challenge blogs that I have subscribed to, yet never get around to doing.

The Paper Players is a great challenge blog and they change it up weekly. Sometimes it is a sketch or a colour challenge. I really recommend you checking them out if you haven't done so. Just click on their name at the beginning of this paragraph and you will go straight there.

This week it is a sketch challenge. Below is the sketch.

This is what I came up with.

I used Cheerful Christmas and Endless Wishes for the sentiment. I'm sorry about the colour but obviously the lighting wasn't that great when I took the photo. The colours I have used are Real Red, Garden Green and Soft Sky. 

I made another card the same, but used Island Indigo, Smokey Slate and Soft Sky. The colours look particularly bad. The sentiment is from Good Greetings, which you can get for free if you have a qualifying order.

Below is an image of the items used.
