MM Stella and Rose 6x6 pack - 11 cards

Once again I was inspired by Kristie Marcotte and decided to use up another of my many 6x6 pads. I went through my stash and found this partial pack from My Minds Eye.

Most of the flowery papers were gone so I thought it would be great for masculine and Sympathy cards

 I used a lot of Stampin Up images and sentiments

Challenges:

Creative Craft Cottage - Masculine

Funkie Junkie - Masculine

Cardz 4 Guyz - Vintage 

and dies from Studio Katia - these are perfect for using up small bit of your patterned paper.

Challenges: Allsorts - Anything Goes

50 Thank You Cards - part 1

My daughter's friend asked me to make her 50 Thank You cards for adult males and females.
I had probably less than 10 in my stash so I went to work and this is the first batch.
I was watching Kristie Marcotte's videos about using up whole paper pads so I was inspired by them.

I used an older Bo Bunny paper pad  and choose images to fit the vintage feel of the paper.

Challenges:
QKR Stampede - Anything Goes
Addicted To Stamps and More - Anything Goes

SOS238 - Fishing Vest card

This week's challenge at Shopping Our Stash is called Bent Out Of Shape and we want to see shaped cards. This is not my forte, but here is what I came up with:

I used a template found here and added some extra touches - buttons, fishing fly (wannabees) made with feathers, hand drawn fish (since I didn't have any tiny fish stamps)
Challenges:
Challenge Up Your Life - No Designer Paper
House of Cards - Shaped Cards
