Time for another sketch on 2 Sketches4You and this week the sketch is from the lovely and talented Kazan. Fabulous cards as always from Kazan and the mega talented 2S4Y Design Team. I love this challenge and all the lovely folks who take part each week.....so no more crafty doom and gloom....I am back doing what I love.....CRAFTING with a capital C.I know from blog hopping that quite a few folks have made some New Year Resolutions and one in particular that stands out.....is to use up stash we already have.....I am just as guilty of endlessly buying new stuff and forgetting about the old stuff.....so I thought I would challenge myself with this one and only use stuff out of my scrap boxes.....you won't believe some of the gorgeous stuff I found in there....yesterday I was sad...today I am ASHAMED.... that all these delicious papers have been neglected.....Does this mean I am on a STASH BAN......well I ain't making any promises.
Going to have a bit of a problem with the Ingredients List....have no idea who made this paper or indeed where or when I bought it....the Dark Olive is Bazzill and the flowers were cut from a scrap from a Wassail pad put through the Cuttlebug Swiss Dots Folder and sanded.....Apologies for the poor pic and the glare on the letters...they really are the most gorgeous dark red...so use a bit of imagination folks.
Ribbon: American Crafts
Buttons: Basic Grey Sultry Collection
Alphabet: 3 Bugs in a Rug...Chaos & Confusion Red Alphabet Stickers
Just goes to show what you can do with some left-over's.
While I am still on this crafting high.....off to get some DT work done....make hay while the sun shines as they say......catch up with you all tomorrow for hopefully.....some sneaky peeks!!! Hugs Kath xxxxxx
Beautiful take on the sketch. I love the colors you chose.

I obviously need a scraps box like yours Kath 'coz this card is AMAZING!!!! I love the dotty effect (I will have to copy that!)of the flowers!
ReplyDeleteThis is just stunning!!! I love those colurs together and the flowers are gorgeous. You are so talented Mrs and I am in total awe!!
ReplyDeleteWell I tidied my tip up as you know and I found all sorts, which did make me feel a bit ashamed I have to say. So I bundled some stuff up and gave it to my cuzz who came to my card club to start with cos she was being supportive, and ended up loving it!! She has been bitten by the craft bug now lol xxx She has hardly any stash so I killed 2 birds with one stone. I said I'm not buying anything else for a while but I don't mean it - I'll give it a week!!! Have a great day xxxxx
This is gorgeous Kath those papers are scrummy Mrs. I have been doing the same with the stash if I'm not found in a week call out the bloggy search party lol. Saving ones self for the SECC now. Have a good day.
ReplyDeletegorgeous cards Kath, I think we all the same when it comes to our craft stuff, there's just so much lovely stuff coming out ALL THE TIME!! We're only human after all lol

ReplyDeleteGorgeous take on this weeks sketch, not that we expect any less from you... hey we bloggers really do put the pressure on you don't we...
ReplyDeleteHaving started to sort through my craft mess (you've seen it, so you know what I mean), I must agree that I really do have to stop buying for a while & rid myself of the old to make way for the new...
Happy crafting
