October Challenge Swap

Whaat? Me again? I needed to post our monthly swap cards. Neither Keri nor myself thought we would get them done but we both managed and on time also.

I used a new MFT die and I followed an idea I saw on Pinterest. Doubled it up so it had more depth and used my favourite Kraft and MFT stitched flowers (which were expensive so I'm making sure I get my monies worth by using them frequently).

When I find the time, I'm going to build a homemade light box and try and get better pictures of my cards. Hey, maybe that will make the 18 in 18 list.

And Keri used the Doodlebug Cream and Sugar collection for her card. Who doesn't love Doodlebug?

We are having so much fun with this monthly challenge. I can't believe we have kept it going for so long. It's a great idea to motivate yourself to get something done and use up those previously untouched items. It's also a great excuse to get together and have coffee with a friend.

More Bee Cards

I'm back with the remainder of the bee cards that I made for the Crop...

I love this one from Lawn Fawn.

Another one using the Sissix Bee dies and a great font set from Penny Black

This one might be my favourite. I bought the bees to go with the paper and used the Penny Black Sentiment set again

Oh wait, this might be my favourite, I just adore Kraft and the stamps on the envelope were a nice added touch.

Then I prepped 50 of these for a make and take using a cute foam bee sticker. Too bad its a little washed out. The colours were really vibrant and they all went for a toonie each.

Bee cards

Whaaat? Another blog post? I finally can share some of the cards I've been working on over the last few months. I actually made 120 bee cards and was able to use them at the fundraiser for prizes and to sell. I must admit that not all of my ideas were completely original but I tried to use the products that I had and each card quickly became a new favourite. There were a few bee themed items that I never got around to using but I had to draw the line somewhere.
Here we go....

I loved using Washi tape for this card

 

 

This card was simple but I liked the popped up bee on the flower

I'm a big fan of the Sissix flip cards and they happened to have a bee die set as well.

I love the trailing heart, I think? it's Lawn Fawn

This card was soft and pretty. Perfect just to send a note.

That's it for today. I need to save some "ammunition" for another post.

Loonies for Lindor Cont'd

I have a few more photos to share from the Fundraiser. Thanks, Lori.

Yep, I baked all that bread.

Guess the honeycombs

Me and my girl, Friday/Keri

It was a busy day. I have passed over the much appreciated cheque to Autism Dog Services and I finally have all of the boxes sorted and put away and thank you letters sent. Many businesses helped to make this event a success.
