RRC Ch #13 - For The Boys

I'm a bit late posting this challenge due to me not being used to new software on the computer but finally think I've got the hang of it!  The new theme on Ruby's Rainbow Challenge is For The Boys and I have altered another beermat using various papers and images from my stash.

R for Recipe

The challenge on the Alphabet Challenge Blog for the next fortnight is a Recipe - one image, 2 bps and 3 flowers.  I made a LO for my DT work using DCWV cardstock and K & Co and My Minds Eye bps.  Swirls are cut on my Big Shot but I can't remember the make of the die!

Q for Quick and Simple

Two weeks has flown by and it is time for the next challenge on the Alphabet Challenge Blog.  This time the theme is Q for Quick and Simple.  Sometimes we need or want to make a card quite quickly, without too much fussing and embellishing etc.  I cut an image from an old card that had been given to me, matted it, stamped an image and added some gems.  I used a tall slim blank lilac card I have had for ages.  It took only a few minutes but looked ok!
