I am still on a quest to reduce my "Awaiting Crafting" boxes. This time I used three papers from the digital papers box and a sentiment from the sentiment box.

CHNC Patterned Paper - January Challenge
http://craftyhazelnutspatternedpaper.blogspot.com/2020/01/craftyhazelnuts-patterned-paper-january.html
I have used 3 digital papers. I am not sure of the source of the blue one or the stripe one but the one with words on it is from Bearly Mine Designs. The image is from Sheepski Designs but I'm not sure of the source of the sentiment.
I followed the sketch at Creative Sketchy Girls - although I just noticed that I put the blue piece in the wrong place. You can tell I was a little on the tired side when I put the pieces together.

First Day Of School.
Some of our schools started back this week with the rest going back next week. Inspired by that I created a back to school card. I also managed to use a digital paper, image and sentiment from my "Awaiting Crafting" boxes. I still have a lot to work through but each little bit helps.

I added two metallic stars next to the sentiment.

Thank You So Much
I am still working through my rather large pile of digital paper, digital images and digital sentiments that I printed out some time ago. This card has used a digital paper and a digital sentiment so I'm still slowly making progess.

Christmas Owl
I am really pleased with how this card turned out - what I could visualise in my head actually came to fruition. I'm hoping that it meets the brief for the challenge at Marianne's Designs as the Google Translate version differed from the piece written in English. I have followed the Google Translate (to English) version.

For A Friend
I didn't think that I was going to have the time to join in with the challenge at Crafty Sentiments this week. However, I woke up at 2.30am feeling really hot and couldn't get back to sleep so I got up. As my unit touches two neighbouring units, I can't do anything noisy so cardmaking was perfect.

Manly Male
I am still working on reducing the number of digital papers, images and sentiments that I had printed out and failed to use. For this card, I used two different digital papers along with an image.

Christmas Cat
This week at CHNC, our optional theme is "No Sentiment".
I have used a digital paper and an image from Bugaboo Stamps. Colouring is with copic markers and Kindy Glitz. I also inked around the image shape with Distress Ink - Fired Brick. I added a santa hat embellishment.
I followed the sketch at Stella Says Sketch but substituted an embellishment for the sentiment so that it fits the challenge theme.

With Sympathy
I needed a Sympathy card over the Christmas period and discovered that I didn't have any. I had this image in the box of printed images that I am trying to actually use. The sentiment is out of the box of printed sentiments that I am also gradually using. It was perfect for creating a Sympathy card to put aside in case it is needed.

Success Is A Journey not a Destination
We are at the midway stage of the Character Traits Challenge at Path Of Positivity. The challenge is sponsored by Bugaboo Stamps and Scribbles Designs.
For the midway, I have worked with a different character trait of mine - and that is determination. I have a very determined attitude toward improving my swimmers' technique. I have used a retired image from Bugaboo Stamps called Beach Frog Swimming. The sentiment is Success Quote from Scribbles Designs.
I also used a digital paper from Publikado. Colouring is with copic markers.

Spread Your Wings And Fly
I had trouble photographing the inside of this card - and I tried more than once. The butterfly appears to be out of focus but I'm not sure if it is because it is quite sparkly.
I would like to enter:
Butterfly Challenge - Q is for...
https://butterflyspotchallenge.blogspot.com/2020/01/134-spin-butterfly-wheel-with-q-for.html
I have used all seven elements in the wheel. All three colours can be seen on the inside of the card.
Cardstock - Quinacridone
Paper - Queen Pink
Butterfly - Quicksilver
The butterfly is also on the inside. The quote and the quartz gems are on the outside of the card. I followed the tutorial for Quarto Fold Version 1.
