The Outlawz Tuesday Challenge - Red Monochrome
I have used some scrap patterned cardstock from my stash.
My washing is now hanging outside in the sunshine so it is now time to upload the final card from yesterday. After this one is uploaded, I can start working on some cards for today including today's prompt card.

I got distracted yesterday and struggled to get all the cards that I had ready actually uploaded. I have one more after this to upload but it may have to wait a little while as I need to do some washing so I can hang it out to dry.

I have used a scrap patterned paper from a previous card this month. The image and sentiment are from Beccy's Place.
I followed a card sketch by LV Handcraft from the Stress Free Cardmakers Summit.
This is the other half over the washi tape background from yesterday. I die-cut a different border from the same set as yesterday. The design is inspired by a tutorial by Lea Lawson at the Scrapbooking Fun Summit earlier this month.

The sentiment is by Beccy's Place.
Today is our third non-alphabetical prompt at Beccy's Place Month of Holiday Cards. For this one, the prompt is Black and White plus one other colour. I just so happened to have a scrap in my stash from an earlier card this month that fitted with that so my colour was easy to choose.
I had hoped to get another couple of cards uploaded today as well as this one but time got away on me. I may still get at least one of them uploaded as it is still a couple of hours before I need to head to bed. Otherwise, they will get done in the morning.

I have used an offcut of a digital paper by Far Far Hill. The image is the one provided for The Outlawz Progressive Freebie Challenge.
This is similar to yesterday's card but uses the inner piece of the die-cut. I'm so pleased that I was able to use both pieces to create cards with rather than it loiter in my scraps box for ages.

I should be in bed by now but when I went to bed, my head was full of the information from my Sign Group today. I am gradually learning Sign Language but it is a bit of a slog. Today was another week with an overload of information and I just couldn't get to sleep so I have got up again and hoping I can quieten my mind soon.
This is the first of a few cards I'm going to make with two similar sketches. I printed out a couple of pages of the backgrounds plus a sheet containing several images and several sentiments. All of the designs, papers, images and sentiments are from a tutorial by Sassy's LLC at the Stress Free Cardmaker's Summit.

This is another card from the Cardmaker's Christmas Summit. I coloured along with Alyce Keegan for this image. I still need a lot of practice but I'm quite pleased with how this turned out. I have a number of partially completed cards from Summits that still need to be completed. I decided to mat the image and then mount on to a white card blank. I debated whether to add a sentiment but decided against it as I didn't want to detract from my colouring.

The image from Kit and Clowder came as a freebie with the summit tutorial.
Day 23 of the Month of Holiday Cards at Beccy's Place. Time for another Tutorial from Beccy's Place that I haven't Tackled before.
With the lighting that I have at the moment, I photograph the cards with them standing up. This one really needed the photo of the card closed taken from above but that way I get terrible shadows. So, this is the sort-of closed photo of the card
and opened showing the inside.

I have used a couple of paper scraps. The image is by Beccy's Place. I added some puffy tree stickers.
When I made the card for the K prompt, I cut out a window using a die. I have the window frame that I used here and the centre of the window frame that I have yet to use. As soon as I looked at the sketch at Tuesday Morning Sketches, I knew that I could use one or both of them.

I'm back to a card inspired by one of the recent summits. This one is hand drawn and then watercoloured. As someone whose drawing consists of stick figures I'm really proud of this. After colouring the gifts, I outlined them with a Black Pigment Liner.

I posted a card yesterday that had the centre die-cut out of it. This is what I came up with for the die-cut. In the summit, Jess had left the images uncoloured but I decided to use the lightest pink, green and yellow copic markers on the images that I chose to use.

This is another summit card similar to the one yesterday. I flipped over one of the patterned pieces to use the reverse side as a background for the image. This one is inspired by a tutorial by Jess at the Cardmaker's Success Summit. The original intention on yesterday's card was to have the reverse of this one - except I glued the wrong side of the cross pieces. I left this one until today and took more care with it.

Christmas Cards All Year Round - Reindeer

The background was created using washi tape. I diecut out the centre and added a reindeer image by Beccy's Place. The sentiment is also by Beccy's Place.
I intend to create another card using the die-cut piece from the centre but not entirely sure what I am doing as yet.
I had intended on spacing out the uploading of the cards today as my eyes can't take too long sitting in front of a screen. Unfortunately, some other things came up during the day so I can't avoid uploading them around the same time. I'll probably pay the price for uploading a few cards in close succession. This one closes overnight so I can't leave it until the morning.

Last year I created a Christmas Countdown made of various shapes that I was struggling to get finished before the date came up in December. This year I am starting earlier in the hope that it is completed before December 1st.
The idea is that at the end of December 1st, you bring done the 1 and record on the back what you did that day. You continue doing this until you reach Christmas Day.

I managed to work on some more summit cards while I needed to take time away from the screen. This is the first one that has reached the point of being able to be uploaded - using papers from yesterday's prompt card.
