Hello everyone,

Do you ever get those thoughts…..where has the week gone?

Well I just can’t believe how fast time is going, and that “to do” list never seems to become smaller because there is just new things added everyday! Well if I could add a few extra hours each day that would be the remedy to my losing hours in each day problem! hehehe

 Well I have recently showed you the last challenges, and then yesterday being Thursday it was time for the coming weeks new Challenges…….

Okay so for the first one, I picked a Scrapbook page sketch. I can’t remember where I have seen it, I just saved it for a rainy day, so it is not my own sketch but if anyway comes across it, let me know so that I can credit the creator!

Well it thought this was a fun one. Here is the sketch :

And here is what I did with it….

Okay here I have used the Brocade Basics stamp set. The base is textured Sage cardstock which I have stamped with Chocolate ink. I also added some half pearls to bling it up.

The next Challenge is to make something Monochromatic. Now I don’t ever recal making something like this, so it is a great challenge for me personally. I didn’t have much time at all, but managed to throw two cards together. They are really simple, but hopefully if I get a little more time, I will do something a little more elaborate with this challenge.

Here is my first card. It is using the Close as a Memory stamp set, I have used More Mustard and So Saffron together. The DS paper is So saffron, and then I mounted it onto Mustard cardstock. Lastly adding the mustard grosgrain ribbon, and Mustard brads.

With this card I have used the Lovely as a tree stamp set, stamping the trees and adding a little glitter for highlight. The colours are Always Artichoke, andMellow moss. The DS paper is from the Holiday Harmony pack, and I also used some Moss Taffeta ribbon.

NOW FOR THE BEAUTY!!!

I recieved this beautiful card in the post yesterday from Jenny Cain who is a SU demonstrator! It was such a lovely suprise, and after I had taken photos of my other cards, I looked at this, and thought…..Hey this is Monochromatic too! So I just had to show it off to you. Thanks a million Jenny for your thoughtfulness!

Well that is the Challenges. Remember if you want to play along you are welcome. All you need to do, is make your creation, and upload it to your blog, and then add it as a link in the comments block after this post.

Well back to that “to do” list, which I think I will attack my craft room, and master bedroom as they are a complete shambles!!!

Take care, and I will be back soon!
