Whats Up Crafty?

 

Hello again everyone. I have started my

Whats Up Crafty post with a lovely smiling

face. To make me feel a little better. This will 

be my last post in this segment as DT for 

Beyond Grey Challenges. :( :( :(

I'm afraid my time is coming to an end.

 

As much as I would love to stay on I have some

other matters that I need to spend some time on.

I have LOVED my time here. Pooja and the rest

of the DT girls are awesome. Everyone is very

talented and wonderful inspirations. I will keep

coming back to Beyond Grey Challenges and join

in on some here so please keep an eye out for me 

and my entries. Any time pop on over to my blog,

I would love to see you.

I have to keep coming back also so I can see what 

you have all been up to with your wonderful designs.

I have loved looking at each and every submission. It has

all been so much fun. Now back to my Whats Up Crafty?

 

These two cards I have made with my scraps.

My New Years resolution was to use up my scraps

where ever I could. I have colored them with my 

Stampin` Up chalks. To make things stand out a 

little more I have used my markers around the edge 

of the papers. I used dimension tables on the stamps 

to stand them out from the card. 

These cards are simple but fun to make. They are always

good to have in the draw for the forgotten Birthday etc. 

If anyone else is like me it happens. I then get out a card

and no one knows I have forgotten them. The following 

are a couple more I have done in the last month.

 

Thank you Pooja, Kalindi, Ebba, Snehal, Lucille and Jovita.

I have loved working with you all. You are wonderful people

and so talented. Maybe some time I can come back. I'm sure 

you wont miss my lengthy emails LOL. It is hard to let go of

family. Hugs to you all. XX

For all those who follow Pooja's blog and submit to the 

challenges good luck with your crafting. I hope my last 

Whats Up Crafty? has given you some ideas. 

HAPPY CRAFTING

LOVE TO ALL.

 You are free to make any paper crafted project , card or layout as long as

1. Your project has a KNOT  (or many knots) of some kind on it .
It can be ribbons, twins, fabric, jute or anything that can be knotted . 

2. Your project needs to be a complete black project with only Maroon or shades of maroon color on it, that means Maroon should stand out on black.

Here is Pooja  with a tag all set to impress.... She has captured the colors so well in a small piece of art.

Now isn't that really a beauty???

BRENDA

Next up is Brenda with a super gorgeous card.... I absolutely love those big blooms and the MDF cutouts just add to the beauty.

Next in line is

LUCILLE

So here we have Lucille with a  Sun Hat Girl stamped card and some cute colouring. 

This is just the perfect image for a Summer Card... 

Then we have here

EBBA

What an Awesome gifting option .. A personally designed and handmade label for a bottle of Wine made by Ebba... She tells me that she makes these for friends and its a really appreciated gift... 

So a nice idea for you all for your next gift. 

Thanks Ebba

Then we have another of my favorite crafter's 

SNEHAL

Snehal has made a tag for a gift and i like the way she has used the colors from the palette in the base as well as the embellishments... Good job there.

And up last is my inspiration

JOVITA

Heat embossing and Distressing is a technique I have been wanting to try ... So here it is ... Also got some new dies as you can see the sentiment and the butterflies... 

I think I like this so much gonna give it to myself ....(Wink Wink ;)... Yes its my birthday this month... So happy to have to host this challenge during this time...)

I hope you guys enjoy these inspirations and start working on the challenge soon.
