Catch Up Club - October 2023

In a text conversation amongst friends in the fall of 2022, we agreed that we were all falling behind in creating with items from virtual events, kits, even groups we are in. From that conversation the idea of the Catch Up Club took formation. We decided it was time to work on those cardmaking projects that were waiting for our attention. 

On the last day of each month we've committed to sharing card/cards we have made from something we need to "catch up" on. (Yes, I'm a bit early this month, but my blog is busy with other things the rest of the month.)

You can view my original Catch Up Club post - HERE - for more details.

Normally I "catch up" on some virtual classes during these posts, but this month has been wild - we moved and it put me behind on MANY things. Most challenges and/or series, I decided to just allow myself to miss this month (or last month as I packed to move) but the Three Musketeers card just HAD to be made so that's what I'm sharing today. 

Barb, Kelly and I take turns sending out images to the threesome and we make cards with them and post on the 9th of the month. This month it was Barb's turn and she sent the adorable Spellbinders House Mouse Noel image and coordinating sentiment. 

Here's the inside:

Please check out the blogs of my Catch Up Club friends, too - as well as Kelly's blog (one of the 3M partners)...

Image/Sentiment (provided by Barb): Spellbinders House Mouse Noel - I colored it with Copic Markers

Paper: SU Real Red CS and DP from my scrap file

Dies: CC Designs Banners and Honey Bee Sweet Stacks Rectangles

Boo

One of my favorite challenge groups is the Challenge Your Stash group on SCS, under the capable and organized leadership of my friend Barb. The idea is we can't shop for anything when making our monthly challenge card (which we post on the 28th of each month).

We take turns choosing the theme. This month it was Suzy's turn. She challenged us to make a Halloween card with a moon as part of the card.

The sentiment inside my card is simply Boo.

I hope Suzy, Barb and the other Challenge Your Stash gals like my card.

SCS Sketch #SC981

I find that having a sketch to use can get my creative ideas flowing, so I love being part of the Splitcoaststampers Sketch Challenge team. There is a new sketch to work with every Wednesday. I encourage you to check them out.

Here's this week's sketch - SC981:

My card:

It's always acceptable to tweak the sketch a wee bit and make it your own (there are no SCS police), so that's what I did.

I hope you'll use the sketch to make a card, too.

Double Duty 2023 - Lawn Fawn

In January of 2021, my stamping comrades Barb and Kelly and I debuted a new series/challenge. Double Duty was Barb's idea... and it is a GREAT idea! I've had so much fun with this series. Thanks for inviting me to play along, Barb!

This is Barb's description of the Double Duty concept...

Each month, we get to pick a stamp set from a predetermined company. Then, we will use that one stamp set and make two cards from the set.  Different images and sentiments from the same set can be used, or use the same image two different ways—Double Duty either way!  But, as an added challenge, one item must be used on both cards—same color cardstock, same ribbon, same stencil, same something.  Double Duty Again!  Post both cards on your blog on the same day—the 22^nd of each month.  See-Double Duty again!  Have fun getting doubly inky each month with a different stamp company.  Let’s have fun!

Over the past year, things have changed a bit in who's participating, but not in the instructions. This year's Double Duty crafters are Barb, Carol, Darlene, and me.

This month's company is Lawn Fawn.

Card #1

Card #2

The thing/s that are the same on both cards (as per the challenge specifications) are: the color schemes, the embellishments, the same die for the main layer, the card base color, and I used stencils with ink blending on both cards.

Let's check out the other Double Duty cards, too...

SCS Sketch #SC980

I find that having a sketch to use can get my creative ideas flowing, so I love being part of the Splitcoaststampers Sketch Challenge team. There is a new sketch to work with every Wednesday. I encourage you to check them out.

Here's this week's sketch - SC980:

Here's a disclaimer: My card deviates significantly from the sketch. I tried (really I did) but I just couldn't seem to make a card I was satisfied with enough to share it. So I stepped back into my comfort zone and tweaked the sketch to make my card.

I hope you'll use the sketch to make a card, too.
