Why don't my scraps look like this?

Kirsty Wiseman has done it again and made a fab scrap page out of scraps! I can barely manage a card, but she has pulled off a lovely scrapbook page and a card.

Go and see her genius for yourself here:

365 Cards Challenge - Day 193 - Geography

The challenge on day 193 was to make some cards inspired by a holiday destination. I've chosen the Botanic Gardens in Wales, hence the flower inspiration. Why stop at one card when you can have 3:

• Bazzill Card


• Ribbon from stash


• Die cut flowers from old QVC kit


• Giant brads from Papermania


• Chipboard from Autumn Leaves


• Bling from stash


• Stamped sentiments (Papermania I think)

Here's the link to the challenge:

365 Cards Challenge - Day 187 - Past/Present/Future

When today's challenge was to use the following...

1. Pick an item/technique/tool from the past that you haven't used in a while



2. Use your favorite color at present



3. Use a theme that is relevant in your life in the near future (a holiday or upcoming event)

... I struggled a bit, but eventually came up with:

1. Making Memories transfer roller thingy - used for the flower stalks



2. Green is rocking my world at the mo



3. Theme is gardening as I am spending time trying to sort out the garden

Very simple this one:

• Paper from scraps box



• Scalloped and plain circle punches from Woodware



• Bling from stash



• MM transfer runner
