Me and My Shadow

Now this week's DCM challenge was definitely an interesting one: to create two cards from the same materials (card, paper, embellishments), but to make them different! I like that! And once I'd chosen all my bits and pieces, both cards came together fairly quickly. It did probably help that I limited myself to just a few things, but I think the results are still quite effective and rather different.



Papers are We R Memory Keepers Silver Lining, stamps are Whispers, flowers are Papermania, leaves are QK-cut and buttons are from stash. I enjoyed this challenge greatly!

And I've been feeling so creative today that I actually made a scrapbook page, whoohoo! I don't know when I last did one, but it's been a long time. I have all these photos and great intentions, but then, there's usually another card that needs to be made first. Anyway, for this layout, I'd even bought the themed papers and stickers, so there was really no excuse, so I just got down to it and did it! Rather pleased with the result, too!

The first 4th of July party I ever went to - in Scotland! The location made for rather ineffective fireworks, because even at 9pm, it was still daylight... And then there were the downpours... But apart from that, it was a great party and we all had a wonderful time - thank you Becki!

No more creating tonight though, I'm off to bed at a reasonable time for a change. Thanks for stopping by!

  2. I do like your cards, I think the secret for this dare was to limit your card, paper, etc like you did! Now why didn't I think of that!!!!
