Seasons Greetings

Inspired  by some Trimgym papers that I still had in my Awaiting Crafting box, I decided to create a monochromatic blue card

Sweet Sketch Wednesday - Sketch
http://sweetsketchwednesday2.blogspot.com/2022/09/september-at-sweet-sketch-wednesday-2.html

I have used three digital papers from Trimgym.  The image is from Crafty Sentiments and the sentiment is typed on the computer.  I used a dark blue cardstock from DCWV for the matting.

I followed this sketch from Sweet Sketch Wednesday:  I slightly modified the sketch - the bottom layers are the same but the top layer (snowflake and sentiment) is flipped.

Some Are Born To Sweet Delight

I think this will be my last post for today.  I have some other things I need to do after dinner. It has been a fairly productive day so far today and hopefully I will get everything else that I need to do completed.

Gecko Galz - Gothic Challenge

I have used a digital paper, image and sentiment from Gecko Galz.  The matting is black cardstock.  I also added some gems to the background.

May Your Heart Be Light

I have finally completed my card using the September image at Beccy's Place.  I am just waiting on my lunch to heat through so thought I'd squeeze in another blog post.

Beccy's Place - September Challenge
https://beccysplace.blogspot.com/2022/09/september-challenge.html

I have used a digital paper and sentiment as well as the September image from Beccy's Place.  Colouring is with copic markers.  I am enjoying using this particular paper - it co-ordinates really well with blues and pinks.

I have followed a tutorial for a Faux Double Stepper Card by Sam Calcott.

 

Joyeux Noel

 The washing machine still hasn't finished it's cycle  yet so I'll sneak another blog post in.  I have more to do but that will have to be later in the day I think.

We Can Be Heroes

Where has September gone?  I looked at the date this morning and realised it is close to the end of the month.  It looks like the weather is going to be good today so I have put some washing on.  While I wait for the machine to finish, I'm going to try and get some projects blogged.

Thinking Of You

Condolence/Sympathy cards are something that I struggle to have on hand when I need them.  I am hoping that I have no use for this one for some time but sadly that is often not the case.

I had a bit of trouble figuring out the colours for the Butterfly Challenge this time.  I'm not entirely sure that all four are correct in the end.

Butterfly Challenge -  W is for ....
https://butterflyspotchallenge.blogspot.com/2022/09/173-spin-butterfly-wheel-with-w-for.html

I have used two different patterned papers from MME.  I followed all the prompts for the challenge.  The "wood" is the watermelon coloured butterfly.   The sentiment comes from Create with TLC.
