Less is More 2 legs challenge & Freshly Made Sketches challenge

Father's day is coming, I guess a lot of the fellow card makers are making father's day card.  This one is for my hubby. 

I'm participating the "Less is More" 2 or 4 legs challenge, and the Freshly Made sketches challenge this week. For the 2 / 4 legs challenge, I was thinking about some kind of animals to put on my card initially.  But then inspired by the guest designer's card, I wanna make my own monster card too.  It might look a bit better if my handwriting is more artistic.  I guess it's time to get some calligraphy books to learn!

EDIT: I've also linked my card to AAA cards challenge.  Thanks for Sarah's suggestion! 

Less Is More Challenge - Use some Metal

This is one of the very few one-layer cards that I've made, cuz I usually find it difficult to make one.  But I think I'm quite happy with this card that I use it to participate in the Less is More challenge.  The "thank you" text is using the silver metallic embossing powder.  The card stock that I use is a bit creamy in color, I guess it might have better effect if I use a more white one.  Anyway, hope you like it. 

Fusion and TGIF challenge

While it's sad to see some of the card challenge sites closing, it's time to look for some new challenges to join.  I recently discovered two sites:  TGIF challenge and Fusion Card Challenge. And I'm participating their challenges for the first time. 

When I see this picture in the TGIF inspiration challenge , I immediately think of the card stock I got a while ago.  

Together with the sketch from this week's Fusion challenge, 

Here is my card: 

Retro sketches challenge

I think I'm getting close to the number of thank you cards that I wanna make. Next would be one more Father's day card. :)

I'm playing along with the retro sketches challenge this week.  I actually made the card two days ago but didn't get the chance to take picture and upload to my blog.  Thanks that the deadline got extended, so that I still have the chance to enter this challenge. :)

Thanks for stopping by!

Freshly made sketches -- thank you

Baby L recently starts to sleep less, which also means I have less time for myself including making cards!  I hope he would take longer naps once starting on solids. :) 

There are still a bunch of thank you cards I need to make for my son's school year end.  I'm playing along with the Freshly Made Sketches challenge.  Hope you like it. 

Thanks for stopping by.

Reverse confetti sketch challenge

Now that Mother's day has passed, its time for Father's day card!

It's my first time playing along in the Reverse confetti challenge.  Here's my take: 

CAS (E) this sketch

Now that its getting closer to the end of the school year, I'm creating a few thank you cards for my son's teachers.  How many do I need? I still haven't counted, but I know there are a few short.

Last minute birthday card request

I just realized that I'm so behind on cards.  Normally, I have one or two extra bday cards for emergency.  But it looks like I now have more excuse to make more cards. :)

Here is my another take on the Retrosketches challenge.

Retrosketches challenge

We usually give out thank you cards to teachers at my son's school.  Now that it's May, it's definitely a good time to start making some!
