Picture Perfect Creations #74

Hello All!
A quick post from me today as I`m running late as usual.

This is the colour inspiration for this weeks challenge at Picture Perfect Creations. I love green and I haven`t played along with this challenge for ages so I thought I`d rectify that.
Here is my card,

I`ve been raiding the snippet boxes again so all the DP and card, apart from the base card are scraps.
The DP is by Kameo Cards and I`ve cut it into 4 pieces, 2 long and 2 short, matted them onto lime green card and raised them with foam pads.
The image is Stampendous Agapanthus stamped in Versa colour Evergreen and also matted onto lime green card and raised with foam pads. The sentiment is Papertrey stamped in Versafine onyx black.
As it`s a snippet make,I`d also like to enter it into Jules crafty snippet challenge.

Jules crafty snippets

Hello there.
Before you begin reading any further I must warn you that this is a picture heavy post. Get a cuppa and make yourself comfortable.

I mentioned last week that I was going to take photos of my snippets to shame me into using more of them. Well, I have....are you ready for this?...

This is my pile of paper snippets. It`s actually not as bad as it looks (honest) and quite a lot of them are digi papers. I`ve had to put them on the spare bed because there are too many to fit on the desk properly.

And this pile is my card snippets. Now this is really worse than it looks on here. You can`t see properly how deep the pile is. I am quite ashamed of this little lot. I was going to put them on our bed because it`s much larger but there is glitter card in among that lot and I didn`t think Alan would be very pleased to wake up next morning covered in glitter lol.
But....

Look at it now.
Being the cheapskate that I am I only bought 4 plastic boxes (£1 each from Poundland) and utilised some old biscuit tins for the rest. I will get more plastic boxes eventually. All the card has been sorted into colour and boxed up making it really easy to find and also keeping it from getting damaged. I used to keep it all in a large underbed storage box and then had to rake through it. The Papermill box has got gold, silver and sparkley card in and I`ve another one that all my paper snippets fit nicely into. So much better than before and now that I can get at easier I`m using it alot more already.
My white card is still in the large box for now and in all fairness to myself, most of it is the bits you get when you make a square card from an A4 sheet so that will get used for smaller images and sentiments.
I will take another photograph at Christmas time to see how the pile has diminshed.

Right after all that I`d better show you a card.

Both the DP`s are from Kameo Crafts but different sets.
The image is my old favourite Agapanthus Cluster from Stampendous, stamped in Versacolour Evergreen.
The sentiment is by Personal Impressions.
I`ve added 2 butterflies because I got ink on one bit and a faded bit on another. This was my 4th attempt at stamping this and I`d had enough lol.


Edited to add;  I`ve just seen Jules snippet stash. I don`t feel half so bad now ha ha !

Cheryls card

Hello again,
this is my second post today and couldn`t be more different to the first one.

Next friday it will be my eldest daughters 34th birthday. I find this very strange because I`m sure I`m only 35, ( I am in my head anyway) lol.
This is the card I made for her.

  Apologies for the photo, we had just had a down pour and I had to take this piccy quick before the light went. You can see the shadows of the raindrops on the window.

Cheryls favourite colour has always been red so ofcourse she always ends up with a red card.
The sentiment is computer generated.
I made a panel of white card and stamped the image in red ink then added some tiny gems to make it pop.
The image is Agapanthus Cluster by Stampendous.
I caught the edge of the stamp and left a mark so I`ve placed a butterfly on it and I think it looks like a butterfly trail. ( cough, cough)
I added some red ribbon and a bow although the tails are a bit short I`m still quite pleased with it.


Right, I`m off now to do some more crafting while I have the chance.

CAS 99 & Curtain Call 39

Wow, 2 posts in 1 day again.
Can you tell I`m having a very lazy Sunday?

This card is for the Clean & Simple challenge #99.
and also  Curtain Call #39.

Here is my take on both sets of inspiration 

 I`ve made a DL card from Kraft card.
Added a white panel stamped with Agapanthus Cluster from Stampendous in Versa Color Fresh Green .
Then I attatched a strip of Papermania Capsule Collection Green pack DP.
I raised the panel with foam pads.
The sentiment is by Papertrey and is also stamped in fresh green and raised with foam pads.

Enjoy the rest of your weekend.
