365 cards

In the last month, I have discovered scrapbooking and now card-making. I have quickly become addicted! I am posting the 7 cards I made this week for the 365 card challenge. I couldn't resist a chance to win those Cosmo Cricket papers (as if I needed more paper).

#106
This was made with the Boho Chic kit from We R Memory Keepers. It follows the Sunday sketch.

#107 Sorry this came out so blurry. I've used my scanner only a handful of times. It didn't like the ribbon and there was no way I was untying it and retying! It took me long enough the first time. The papers here are from the DCWV sweet stack. The challenge was to use the word "Girl" and make it girly. It does say Bday Girl whether you can read it or not and I love these papers for all things girly.

This was for the little boy birthday card. I don't know what company's I used. I think they came from Michaels, though. This was such a simple card and I really liked the way it came out... unlike the two above.
#109
The challenge here was to use these colors: orange, green, aqua, ochre and brown and make it girly. I used the Boho Chic collection again (trying to use it up) and I think this will be a good b-day card for one of my friends.


#110
This challenge was to make a masculine card with argyle. I think the aim was to be more adult, but I couldn't stop myself from making a card for my nephew, Evan who will be 6 this year. I liked the affect even with some of the smudges I got on it (oops!).



#111
This challenge was to use bold stripes. I can't really say I had a plan here. I used a mat pad from Me & My Big Ideas ( I really love that company) and before I knew it I had a b-day card for my Mom.


#112
This didn't scan so well. I don't think the scanner liked the metallic ink. My friend Ashley is getting married in a couple months so this challenge was perfect timing! The challenge was to make a wedding card and use "love" in the title/message. I'm not in love with this card, but I'm happy to have gotten all the cards done for the week... win or lose!
Thanks to the host of this challenge! I plan to try to participate from now on... and hopefully get better!
