Unscripted Sketches #125

It's good to be posting!  I have family visiting this week (and that doesn't happen often!) so haven't had a lot of crafty time lately... I promise to pick up the pace next week.  I did fit in time to try the Unscripted Sketches challenge for this week, though:

Patterned papers & stickers are Marjolaine, Basic Grey; Cardstock is Cocoa & Kraft, CTMH; Stamp set is Birthday Script, CTMH; Ink is Cocoa, CTMH.  Spellbinders die.

Mojo Monday #207 & Color Throwdown #160

I'm so happy to have Mojo Monday back after they took a few weeks off... so I paired it with the Color Throwdown challenge this week:

Patterned paper is More to Adore; Cardstock is Chocolate & Colonial White; Stamp set is Birthday Script; Chocolate button & ribbon collection; - all CTMH; Cuttlebug die & Spellbinders die.

A Gift set for Heart2Heart

I'm a week behind on my Heart2Heart Challenges!  I've been busy, and also needed to make a donation item for a friend's silent auction next week, so I pulled out a little photo book that I made a few years ago (yes, years!) and pulled out the coordinating papers to make a set of 8 gift cards and a cute little holder.  The H2H challenge is to use die cuts.  Sorry for the hastily snapped photos!

Patterned papers are Sonata; Cardstock is Chocolate, Spring Iris & Colonial White; Ink is Chocolate; Ribbon is Lilac Mist Organdy; Pink and Clear buttons; Gems are Summer Celebrations Mini Medley; Stamp set is Say it with Style - all CTMH; Blessings and Sweet Treats stamp sets & dies by Verve; Spellbinders dies.

Play Date Cafe Challenge #98 & Heart2Heart Challenge

I couldn't believe that I had the absolute perfect papers for this week's Play Date Cafe Challenge!  So I took the opportunity to get another Christmas card added to my pile.  This week's Heart 2 Heart Challenge was to use our favourite colour combo, and while I can't say that I have an absolute favourite, I've always loved these papers, so that's what I'm going with!

Stamp set is Glad Tidings, Verve; Sweet Scallop Tag die, Verve; Patterned papers are Aspen; Cardstock is Outdoor Denim, Creme Brulee & White Daisy; Inks are Twilight & Outdoor Denim; Creme Brulee marker; Outdoor denim organdy & Bigger Brads; Snowflake buttons - all CTMH.

Color Throwdown Challenge #158 & RCC19

Here's an interesting colour combo for this week's Color Throwdown Challenge... it reminds me of CTMH's new Dreamin' papers:

I used a little Basic Grey Ambrosia for this, and some Verve stamps.  I'm also entering it in this week's Ribbon Carousel Challenge which is Anything Goes:

Patterned Papers are Basic Grey, Ambrosia; Sentiment is Blessings by Verve; Vintage Oval Frame die by Verve; Pacifica cardstock is CTMH; Liquorice Opaque Pearls are CTMH; Twine from The Twinery.
