Mojo Monday 251

A new challenge!  Having scoured other blogs and visited a few of the challenges they follow, thought why not? Let's give another couple a go too! :)  So, this week's challenge is this sketch ..

Last year, I saw a few of these Christmas cards floating around, but never gave one a shot.  I kept seeing it in this sketch, so here is the outcome. I hope you like it and thank you for looking xx

I have never...ever...done a Christmas card in July either! Scarey :o/

JAI 127 Colour Combo

Life has thrown me into a bit of a whirlwind lately, and with that, my paper crafting went with it unfortunately.  It is the one thing I love to sit down and relax with when time allows, but have had no oomph and a huge lack of imagination.

Anyway, moving along. 

This week over at JAI, it is a colour combo challenge and had had this idea in mind for ages....so thank you ladies for getting me to pull myself together and do a little creating.  :o)

JAI 90 - Sketch Challenge

     Having spent some time having lost my card making mojo, thought it was time to give another Just Add Ink challenge a go.

     Firstly I need to apologise for the fuzziness of the pics, it's nearly that time of the year and a camera is on the pleeaasse list :) - and forgot to change the date when I changed the batteries whoops!!

    I'm not completely happy with the outcome of this card, but will have another fiddle with it when a little more spare time comes my way.

What do you give a man that has everything??

A papercrafted tea caddy full of his favourite tea sachets!!                                         

I was at a loss as to what to give my step dad for Dad's Day this year and found an awesome template for this tea caddy.  I used up a lot of retired SU! product in his favourite colours, did a little paper weaving on the top, changed the template a little so the top flips open for refilling and ended up with a cute little pressie :)



New Baby Boy - Owl Card

Making this card was an absolute challenge.  All of my supplies had been packed into storage due to renovations and I was asked to make an owl baby card as an order for a school mum. 

I decided on an easel card, as they look a little more special and a layering I went lol. 

This was the final result.  (Sorry, the camera was having issues again!!)
