Two Birthday cards for a few challenges

 Happy Saturday!

I've made 2 birthday cards for some challenges:

The first:

The inspiration for this card came from Just Us Girls challenge #599, with this inspiration photo:

I loved the colors and the confetii look (although in the photo there're actually flowers).

I combined it with the OLC + spots challenge at Less Is More:

I used spot stmps, in different sizes, with inks that matched the colors in the inspiration photo.

And with the 1" strip challenge at AAA cards:

The 2nd card:

Honorable Mention

at Fusion

This one was inspired by thc colorful challenge at Fusion:

I didn't use crayons, rather cut a very colorful dp into a 1" strip, inked the edges and added the sentiment.

I kept my card very cas. For the long strip I blended the green inks, added 3 punched flowers with a glittery enamel dots, and a sentiment.

An all occasions card - FMS #487 plus CTD #644

Hi everyone, I'm back with a clean & simple card.

I loved the color scheme provided by Color Throwdown #644 - black, gray and yeallo:

I paired this color challenge with the sketch challenge at Freshly Made Sketches #487:

The daisies and the leaves were stamped and then fussy cut. A sentiment and some enamel dots in coordinating colors. I matted the main pannel with gray cs, and adhered it on the card base. 

Thank you for being you - CTD 625

 A flowery 'Thank you' card I made, using the colors

from Color Throwdown #625:

I used some flower stamps with Ranger's mini archival inks.

The sentiment is Doodlebug Design's.

Winter sun - CSI case file no. 343

I've been MIA for very long time, due to some health issues, but was able to make this layout for CSI Case File no. 343:

 

I used all 5 colors from the scheme. For my evidence I used: woodgrain background, winter-themed embellishments, snowflakes, lacing, string, wood, trees, hearts, tringles, chevrons and grid design (the blue paper for the matting has a gentle grid pattern).

I documented a boat sailing in Nantes, two years ago. It was freezing on the boat, but the winter sun poped here and there, and warmed us a little.

Here're some close-ups on the details:

Lovely Memory - CSI case file no. 336 November 1st

A new case file is up on CSI - case file no. 336, with beautiful photo inspiration and colors:

My inspiration came from the wall and the frames, and from this starting point I went on.

I used all 5 colors and from the evidence I used: stripes, wood plank background, floral pattern, frames, flowers, metal, something transparent (the black stickers) and cursive fonts.

The photo was taken on our last visit to Italy, we went to several countryside places, and this is one of them. I also framed my jouranaling.

Paper desk caddy

 A desk caddy I made from cardstock and pp, following Keren Skubach's great totorial - Part 1 and Part 2. 

It was so much fun, and easy to make, that I will defintely make another one preety soon (and maybe, just maybe, more than one..).

It helps keeping my most needed tools just handy and ready to use. It has a pocket for memo notes, small 'shelves' for all those small items that get lost in big pockets, lots of room for sccisors, pens, scoring tools, etc., and even one pannel of cork to pin notes.

Here're some more photos:
