The Scraps and Stash Challenge is on at Di's Digis Blog. It's a perfect challenge for me, I have heaps of both.
I have made a Christmas card.
Scraps and Stash products - shimmer cardstock, a background printed on photo paper that I was never really happy with, and doily and blue gemstones I have probably had from when I first started Scrapping and Cardmaking. Oh, and the sentiment was from my container which holds already printed and leftover sentiments.
My image is "Carol Crew BW"

This month over at Beccy's Place the challenge is use an item that represents your neighbourhood, city, state or country.
Well, I could not go past some gorgeous Australian flowers, the Waratah. Unfortunately, again I have picked my Beccy's Place images from my computer folder but forgot to check if it is still available. I am hopeless, I need to settle down and look at that first. As I said Waratah set is retired and I have done it again. Next time I will pick from my folder and then check the shop, sorry Bec.
I have used white cardstock base and a embossed background of leaves. Then I grabbed a portion of serviette I bought from Scrapbookingncraft and covered a piece of white cardstock and put a piece of red paper behind it, a leaf die and some dried flowers to add to my waratahs coloured in pencil.

The Outlawz Progressive challenge for April gave us an image sponsored by Sandra. The image is "Simple Tulip". For this beautiful image, I decided to print a few varying the size. and colouring with pencils. I found some sentiments in my digital stash. I used a pinstripe embossing folder to make the background for the tulips. I also put a smaller tulip inside the card. I hope Sandra likes what I have done with the simple tulip.

A Facebook group I belong to, Papercraft Secrets - Creating with Confidence, has a monthly challenge. April's theme is FAMILY. I am using these prompts to decorate my monthly DT journal which documents what I create. I decided to look through my Di's Digis to find a stamp to suit this theme. The digital stamp I chose is "Garden Friends", however I could not find it in the shop, it must be discontinued. I also wanted to use the Easter papers Alicia from Papercraft Secrets gave us on the Patreon subscription. Here is the result.

I would love you to check out this new Etsy shop, A & Jj Designs .
At the moment there is a 25% sale.
I can't get over the quality of these papers and images when printed. You need to take a look yourself, as these products are out of this world.
Here is a few of my cards and journal pages I have made with these products. I am so impressed with them, I have decided to dedicate a whole journal to A & Jj Designs creations. I will leave some space in the journal for writing.

This month's progressive challenge is sponsored by Kathy A. Thank you Kathy, what a great image to work with - "Little Viking". She also gifted us a little girl viking, but this time I chose the boy for a masculine card. I have coloured him with pencils and the shield clipart is from ThursdayPrintsMY and I placed the sentiment in the middle of it. The background paper is from AandJJ Designs.
I am entering Outlawz Challenges: Progressive ChallengeThis month I followed the optional Bingo grid for my creation. I went with the diagonal - colour with pencils, use a digital stamp and make it monochrome.
I have used "Gerbera Set" but I forgot it is discontinued. I know Beccy has to make room for her new stamps, but I am so glad I got this digital set before it went to the vault.

Thank you to The Outlawz Challenges and Sandra for the image "Woven Heart". Here is my creation.
I have also used a journal page for the background from Back to the Source. The patchwork cat is from my stash however, it was one of those images in my download files. I can't remember the artist so I can file it properly and thank them, but I just know it was purrfect for Sandra's image.

This month's challenge is challenging me to add washi tape to my creation. I could not go past those beautiful silhouettes "Cat Tails" when I spent my prize from last month. I love cats but the silhouettes have tails. My cat Emmie doesn't have a tail. She was a rescue kitten and they told me she had manx in her and she only has a little stumpy tail. It looks like a rabbit's tail when she runs. Anyhow enough of Emmie, here is my February Blog Challenge creation.
I have made an insert inside the card to make the front. I hope you can see my paw washi tape.I have entered Beccy's Place: February Challenge (beccysplace.blogspot.com)
