Crazy Card Party-- Anything Goes


This week at Crazy Card Party, Rosanne has made it easy on us...anything goes.

I haven't posted any layouts in a while. So here's a few I did at Scrapfest a few weeks ago.


Where we stayed in the arctic in Norway...


 























Thanks Rosanne for "permission" to post anything!

I can't wait to see what the other Party-Ers create this week!

Crazy Card Party-- Regan's Inspiration


This week at Crazy Card Party, Regan gave us this gorgeous inspiration.    




How stunning is that bedroom?? But I will admit that I would NEVER in a million years choose these colours to make a card. But I was SO happy with the results. That's why I Iove these challenges...gets you out of your comfort zone. And we all know Regs is very good at that lol!

So I figured it made sense that I should use Regan's stamp set too (☺). I pulled out all my neutral inks and had fun. And I almost never use patterned paper on cards either but I love how this matches the carpet in the inspiration photo. And my card ended up square...like the pillow!

Crazy Card Party-- Butterflies!


Well, it looks like my girl Patricia is back! This week at Crazy Card Party, she is asking to see butterflies.    

I just bought this gorgeous set from Clearly Besotted. I guess I have a thing for bikes! I love the cloud of butterflies flying out of the basket. So I decided to watercolour this up for Patricia's challenge...

Crazy Card Party-- Bouquets!


This week at Crazy Card Party,  it's my turn and I'd like to see bouquets!

Here are two cards I made at Crop and Create. They are similar to cards I have made in the past.


I put a "bouquet" of flowers in a jar, watercolouring everything with distress markers, Staedeler pencils and Peerless.








Here I made a loose "bouquet" of wildflowers, by scribbling on my stamps with distress markers and misting with water.
 


     




I can't wait to see what bouquets the Party-Ers create this week!

Crazy Card Party-- Use Scraps


This week at Crazy Card Party, Rosanne is asking us to use scraps. I dug around in my PTI patterned paper scrap folder and decided on a combo of classic kraft, hawaiian shores and summer sunrise. I stamped some Rosie Posey florals with the same colours.
 

    

I can't wait to see what the other Party-Ers create this week with scraps!
