Quilted - Mojo 238

As soon as I saw this week's, Mojo Monday sketch my wheels started turning and I thought about all the possibilities this sketch offers.  This is one of those sketches I will be saving to use again.  (and again and again)

This card is a great way to use up all those extra scraps you have after you finish a card or scrapbooking layout.  It's also a fabulous way to use the scraps you get after running paper through your die cutting machine. 

The inside of the card uses up even more scraps, and it is cute enough to be the front of a card!

Here's a look at this week's sketch.  Feel free to join in!

Mojo Monday 238

 

My card is made easy using punches, but you could use your trimmer to create any size square you desire.  I don't have a scallop oval punch, so I cut apart a scallop circle and framed my oval. 

Next time I am going to make this look even more like a quilt by using a couple of different patterns.  Come back soon to see what else I come up with. 

Creative Blessings,

Heather North

Every week the Colour Queens put out a new color challenge.   If you know me, then you know what a challenge this week's color choices were for me.  But I am all about conquering those challenges this week, so I decided to give it a try.  :)

Part 2 was my Personal Challenge- Use my "stash".  In other words make what I already own work, no buying something new to make this card. 
These colors scream "MASCULINE" to me, so I went with it.  I have lots of boys/men in my life and never enough cards on hand for them.  Here is what I came up with...

Even though it is a masculine card, I still added some fun touches to this card, like the button brads from Vintage Trinkets...

...and FREE Sale-A-Bration (SAB) Ribbon you can get with any $50 purchase through March 31, 2012.

Overall it was a fun card to make.  I actually got excited when it started coming together.  Who knew I could work with a color like Dusty Durango and pair it with Lucky Limeade and Baja Breeze and end up with a finished card I would be proud to send to anyone in my life?

Overhead view so you can see the inside of the card.

There is still time if you want to play along with this week's Colour Q challenge.  Just go to their blog and share your creations.  :)
