Ooops, bye-bye Sunday morning

I can't believe it's already 1 p.m. and all I have to show for the day is my newly sorted cardstock scraps.

I knew those Sharpies would come in useful for something, but it appears that I am getting that September organisational buzz and well, the cardstock scraps were a good place to start. In theory now that any sheet of PTI or Bazzill Cardshoppe I cut into makes it here and into smaller little ziploc baggies if the scraps are small but still usable I won't keep on cutting into new sheets of the same colours - namely cream and white! Yes, talk about OCD. ;o)

I'll have to test that theory soon when I get onto my next card.

But first up, I managed to do a bit of crafting yesterday afternoon after finishing this lovely book:

A lovely summer read and enjoyed cover to cover in one sitting. :)

Naturally the sun finally came out again after I turned the last few pages. But I felt up to doing a bit of cardmaking and checked out the new challenge over on the CASual Fridays blog. I was really happy to see I'd made the contender list for from the last challenge. Nice one! :oD

This week's challenge is entitled "She's krafty and she's just my type" and I have a feeling I might have another go at this challenge. I've been a bit neglectful of kraft of late. 

Anyway, here's the card I made for an upcoming big birthday for my friend's husband.

Cardstock: PTI
Number dies and stamps: PTI
Fishtail die: MFT
Paper: MME
Other 3D foam

And as it was meant to be a manly card I really had to resist the temptation to add anything else that made it start looking too froufrou... but it was very hard to resist!

So, just to readdress the balance I may very well go for a more girly approach!

Anyway, best get down to it before the afternoon passes in a blur!

ETA: I managed another kraft + text card that fits the bill. Here it is:

Dies: MFT
Stamps: MFT
Paper: MME
Other: vellum, sewing machine

I thought it would be nice to combine a stamp set that actual fits the title of this challenge "just my type" and also have some more fun with those peek-a-boo chevron dies I got, this time with vellum. Also I wanted to add a little dimension without using 3D foam, so scored the "paper" coming out of the typewriter to give a bit of lift. :)

Wow, gorgeous cards, I love what you've done!
I'm a bit envious of your beautifully organised card scraps too :-)
