Our hostess Robin Scott will be offering some great blog candy.  It's a Crafty Grab Bag!  That sounds like so much fun!  In order to be eligible to win you need to leave a comment on each of the participating blogs.  If you choose to follow all the blogs you will get an extra chance to win!

Here is a photo of the scraps I pulled from my pile:


I selected the color scheme from the July Colour Challenge on Life. Paper. Scrapbook.


For my first card I used all of those colors and sketch #3 from this months Scrapbook.com Card Sketch Challenge.



My first card:



My next creation was for the Kraftie Kre8tions Recipe Challenge using the following:

1. Any thing but a "plain square or rectangle" card

2. Must have 2 layers plus 1 embossed layer

3. Sentiment - Thinking of you, Get Well or Just Because

4. Must include a ribbon

5. Any other embellishment you like.


I chose to create a round monochromatic card.  I used my favorite Sizzix embossing folder, a Sizzix butterfly die and ribbon roses.


My Second card:



My final creation for this evening was another card for Kraftie Kre8tions. This was for the Sketch Challenge.

Here's the Sketch:


I opted to rotate the sketch 1/4 turn clockwise.


My Last card:




I still have enough scraps in my selected pile to create several more, but it is late and it's way past my bedtime!  

I hope you have enjoyed my cards and all the other wonderful creations made totally from scraps!  And now I will send you on your way to Lucy at http://love2createitall.com/ 

Happy Hopping!

    1. Thanks Camille - I normally don't do it that way but I chose a color challenge first. I think from now on that is what I was going to do as I was able to get more done because I had so many coordinating scraps pulled!
