Card Challenge

When there's a challenge ... what can I do but create! Thanks to the wonderful (and funny) Joyce from Just Joyce I took up the challenge to create a card just using scraps. If you are like me, throwing away anything is very hard - everything can ALWAYS be used, at least that's what I think at the time. But, I do have to get a ruthless otherwise I would have so much scrap junk that there would be little room for anything else! And besides, keeping track of it becomes a nightmare.

So, thank you to Joyce, I grabbed a blank card (which happened to be yellow) and then delved into my scrap drawers and simply created this card.


I very rarely buy cards - it only happens if I am disorganised and run out of time to make one for a special occasion. I love to create a unique card for those people in my life who are important. I also like to have a stock of home made cards on hand. Using up all the bits and pieces that I have and creating some snazzy designs is so fulfilling. And best of all, I love spending time with my beautiful daughter Jenelle, sitting together creating and chatting ...

Why not organise a card making session with friends - each of you brings along your scraps and bits and pieces (ribbon, buttons, odd embellishments etc) to share. Saves having to plan for a crop session and you can get heaps done.

Or, have a Christmas Card crop in the next few weeks - get an early start and avoid the Christmas rush! Here are some I have made from scraps...



Happy scrappin!
