Cardabilities #79, Feeling Sketchy #65 and Kraft it up July

Well a fabulous Friday to you all!! I hope your week has gone really well.. they go so fast!!
I have done a few challenges in my spare time!

The CARDABILITIES #79 sketch was a really lovely one..
and my card...
For You..




The card sketch for FEELING SKETCHY #65 was another lovely one and I made 2 cards simply because I was using up scraps of paper and there was enough for 2 cards!!

My cards..
The challenge for KRAFT IT UP JULY is to use a style that is different from your usual style.. well I TRIED to do white space on my layout... but if you know me.. that is like leaving the last chocolate biscuit on the plate... I find it so hard to do!!! as well as that I did NOT use flowers on this layout.. another hard thing for me to do on a female layout... I can leave flowers off a male layout ok, but flowers and girls are made for each other!!! hehe!!

School is cool..


and a bit closer..
Well that was hard to not extend the embellies out further, I had to put this layout to one side and stop adding to it!!hehe! But it was a great challenge!!

Thanks so much for your visit today and as always thank you for your wonderful comments you leave me...

  16. Firstly, I love those cards. Secondly, I understand how hard that layout must have been. It is soooo different from your usual style! It's great to do this though cos it makes us think about our layouts differently and learn something along the way. Hope the rest of your weekend is very enjoyable.
