A school...of fish!

It's Keryn's turn to set the dare at Daring Cardmakers this week here is what she says:

"Early next week all the children that have been on holiday from school in New Zealand for approx seven weeks will be returning to their new classrooms. Mother's will all be breathing a sigh of relief as their routines return to normal.


To celebrate this I want you all to create cards using the theme of school. If you've got children at school what they're up to might inspire your card, if not maybe memories of your own school days might be your inspiration."

I have to say that I was struggling with this one as I don't have children at school and couldn't think of a card theme that would let me use the card for anything else later, then into my head popped 'school of fish' and I knew that would work for me and the dare!

The image came from the Collage group on Flickr and I coloured it with Copics, paper and sentiment sticker are from a little 6x6 scrapbook kit by Papermania. Ribbons from stash.

A single rose...

The Soartful Challenge image this week is this Rose postcard. I wanted to use a quote about roses and found this one "A single rose can be my garden...a single friend my world" by Leo F Buscaglia

A little vintage

I had to make a quick card to take to a relative in hospital. I've had that vintage image printed out for ages and hadn't found the right occasion. A quick shuffle through my scrap paper and scrap card boxes found these bits and pieces, the paper is from the Verbena kit and the image came from Flickr Group: Collage images.

Artarazzi Challenge 9 - Don't Shake

The image (from The Art of Costume Design Vintage Magazine courtesy ofTakeabreak at Flickr) on Artarazzi reminded me of the glamourous Bond girls of the 1960s. However, I have put my Bond girl with Daniel Craig and given her a glass of champagne rather than a martinim, so definitely no shaking! Bond image courtesy of hayashi nauhiro2007 at Flickr. This was fun to do.
