2018 card challenge - August

Morning everyone!

For this month's design element we're focusing on the theme of....

Pattern

Yes, my love of patterned paper needed to be addressed sometime! I've added a few notes over on my blog here.

The full instructions and details for this year's challenge can be found here in the January post.

And past prompts are all listed under the tag 2018 card challenge on my blog.

Also for those of you on Instagram, I'll be using the hashtag #2018handmadecardchallenge to share my projects there, so feel free to use this tag on Instagram as well!

Enjoy!

Oh dear and here am I trying to go more modern but my first love is patterned paper so this shouldn't be too hard. I've just downloaded a few new ones to try too. This is great Nat thank you.

Hmm I feel my many 6" paper pads calling me ..... LOL

Wendy

Thanks Nat.
6x6 papers, and lots of scraps me thinks :)

Love patterned pp too so this looks good
Thanks Nat

Grrr not with it at the moment i nade a really quick card yesterday for a lady in hospital which was patterned but didn't photograph it as in so much of a rush to deliver it to the lady that was going to see her

Thanks Nat I’ll see what I can come up with

Here’s mine .PP background.

Super duper card Ellie.

Great card Ellie :-) I think I have that die somewhere!!

Wendy

It is a really useful Die ,isn’t it Wendy.
It doesn’t look straight on the photo, but on the card it is!!
Ellie

Here’s a couple from me. Not my faves, I’m not really into cards at the moment...

What’s wrong with them.? I think they are very colourful and a bit quirky :)
Ellie

Attachment 199553One I made for DGS, who’s a Newcastle Football supporter.

Lovely Ellie , perfect stripes for him then :)

Two great cards Alison, I love the cupcakes with the bling and the way you've decorated the top. I think Ellie is right they are quirky, especially the top one, love the way you've cut the word happy.

Great card for your grandson Ellie and especially the stripes, perfect for a Newcastle supporter, he'll love it. Is the You Totally Rock a stamp Ellie? I don't recall seeing that before.

Meant to say... I feel ashamed I haven't even posted one card especially with the amount of patterned paper I have to hand. I think I'm struggling a bit at the moment Alison.

Yes it’s a stamp Susie. I think it was a freebi from a certain magazine :lol:

You will come back to it Susie, I’m sure.
Ellie

I’m sure you’ll get some inspiration again soon Susie. You’ve got lots of other things going on. I won’t make much in September with being away, will have LOADS more photos to add to my scrapping pile though :mellow:

Thanks both of you.x You will both have lots of photo's to scrap shortly and I'll look forward to seeing what you've been up to on your travels, talk about living vicariously.:lol:

Here’s another from me...

Attachment 199569

Oh you are just showing off now Alison.:lol: I really love that, you obviously have someone in particular in mind I reckon, very clever and well thought out.

Sorry Susie ! That one was for DH :)

Oh yes, as I recall you've posted photo's of him in the kitchen, was it with Lizzy - it's a great card Alison.

Lovely cards

Yes, he’s the cook in this house :)

Lucky, lucky you!:lol:

Here are my five BTCR cards http://www.ukscrappers.co.uk/photopo...0DD494092.jpeg

Great cards Elaine, brilliant for using up scraps :)
I may have to copy those if it’s ok


Yes Susie, I’m very lucky, although I’ve got quite lazy now. I don’t even know whats in the fridge half the time - hate food shopping too :)

Here are my BTCR cards, last ones from my Stampin Up kit :)

They are lovely Alison, I do like that banner greeting too. Off to check out yours Elaine now.

Great cards Alison. You did well with that kit!

Not sure if Denise has posted these anywhere else but they just have to go on here.

Love those cards !

Aren't they all gorgeous, our Denise has been a busy bee.:lol:

How on earth has she had time to create such pretty cards as well as fit in her trip?
