365 cards day 330 - I´ve got it covered

This challenge at 365 cards is to use at least 2 different patterned papers for the background, making sure they don't overlap. I made a birthdaycard for my friend´s daughter:

KennyK stamp Download Diva, two patterned papers, I used Retro Flower punch to make flowers of the same paper I used for the background, and Fiskars borderpunch for the border, and a little glitterglue.

365 cards day 331 - Nautical

A very fun challenge at 365 cards, Nautical. I´m a huge pirate-fan, so I made a pirate birthday-card:

The ship (looks a little like Sparrows beloved Pearl!) is cut from a 12' x 12' paper, the palmtree an the rock in the right corner cut from the same paper as the ship. Gems as coconuts, a few flags and a crab. Yo ho, yo ho, a pirate´s life for me!

365 cards day 329- Color scheme

You get 5 colors to play with, here is my card:

Very simple, flower-rainbow. The gray cardstock is painted with glitterglue, but it doesn´t show in the foto.

I also made a bookmark, again very simple.

(the pictures are crappy, not enough daylight in this country in the winter..;) )

TUSAL

Since I´ll be doing both WIPocalypse and Crazy January Challenge this year, I thought it would be a good idea to join TUSAL(TotalyUselessStitch-a-long). I´ve seen fotos of jars with bits of yarn, and been wondering what´s it about. Then I found the answer in  Daffycat ´s blog: you simply put all the small bits of yarn that you cut of when you stitch, and put them in a jar. Then take a foto of the jar once a month, and post your progress on your blog, and on Daffycats blog. Now, time to find a nice jar and start working on filling it :)

365 cards challenge, day 328 Super sketchy sunday

The 365 cards sketch challenges are always nice, and I finaly got around to making a card:

A christmascard with unusual colours. Tilda and DCWV papers, the flower is from an old candle decoration.

All these starts are also part of the WIPocalypse.
