Core'dinations Sketch Challenge - January 2014



I love using my Core'dinations CoreColor cardstock
and when I saw the sketch challenge, knew I had to
take part.  I have some of this cardstock still and was
lucky to win a Core'dinations pad recently, but still
need to stock up with plain colors for lots of cards
I need to make.  I enjoyed doing the sanding and
distressing on this card.  Also the inks (see below)
I like;  love the colors and they are easy to use.

Below is also the sketch I followed.

Yehela's Scrapbook Page For Her 7th Birthday

As I have written before, I like to make each grandchild
a scrapbook page for their birthdays.  If I didn't have such
an occasion I don't think I'd get any done!  Here was my
opportunity to get started on the cardstock pad that I won
on the Core'dinations blog.  I love this cardstock, but
unfortunately cannot buy it in Israel.  So I'll have to
participate in more challenges until I can get to the
UK or the USA, not likely in the coming months!!

I am open to many styles of scrapbooking, but this is
the style I like at the moment.  I usually do a quick
print of the photos first, so that I have an idea of size
and colour, and then I use pattern cardstock that
goes together with the photos.  A couple of friends
asked if I'd missed out the word 'birthday' but I
explained I just wanted the word 'Happy"!  Isn't the
grey paper fab?  I sanded it and also went around
the edges to get a lovely colour coming through.

Time For A Guy Card

A friend called and asked me to make a card for
her son-in-law. She said he was keen on motor bikes,
a specific type, and after googling, this is what I came
up with.  I hope he will like it.

Birthday Card For Yehela

Hope I am not speaking too quickly but my new
computer seems to have settled down. It was back
in the lab within a month and when I got it home,
it wasn't okay again.  Why am I telling you this -
because after I changed the main cable with the new
one I received with the computer (one end goes in
the computer and the other in the electricity)
it seems to work!!  Thank you sis' for suggesting this!

Yehela will be 7 this week and here is the card I
have made for her.  She is still at the fairy and
Barbie doll stage, so I hope she will like what
I have made.
