Basic Grey & Sketch Saturday Challenges and TLC207


I had a card in mind when I made this one - I was going to send it to a friend's son, but now it's made, I don't think it's really suitable for a young-un!! Anyway, I used the sketch from the Sketch Saturday Challenge, and used the challenge from BasicGrey Challenges which is to use two different ranges of their papers - I used Strawberry Jam - Lollipop Shoppe and the Sugared papers. Hope I've interpreted their challenge correctly! I also incorporated todays Splitcoast Challenge TLC207 which is "cut it out" which is exactly what I've done with my latest buy from Stampin' Up - Loads of Love (and accessories) - great set, wish I'd bought it ages ago! I was going to add some more detail to the card, but decided not to if it was going to be for a boy, but now it isn't, I might go and tart it up a bit!!
Stamps used: Loads of Love Stampin' Up
Inks used: brown stazon
Colouring method: n/a
Cardstock used: basicgrey
Other Embellishments: eyelets
Tools: crop-a-dile, guillotine, creative memories circles

Just thought I'd share this with you all, too - my little boy obviously enjoyed the snow, and wanted to replicate the scene in our utility room!! I dread to think what will happen if there's flooding next!!!

bless your little boy, better watch out if he starts making snow balls with the powder you would foam on impact :)
