Just Scraps Challenge #14 - Make mine a Double Double

Hurrah! Hurrah! Holidays at last. Two months of R and R. Gotta love it. Started digging out a little yesterday - and I have a lot of digging out to do, trust me.

ONE: My house needs some major attention. The dust bunnies have taken over and

TWO: my craft room is in disarray with serious need of organization. So, my challenge this week is TWOfold.

ONE: Get rid of some of that unfinished business on your desk - I have tons of stuff started and not finished and suspect many of you are in the same boat.  And

TWO: Whatever your creation, try DOUBLING something up.

Got my inspiration here. Made a trip in over the road yesterday to do a little shopping and brought back these outfits for the two boys - DOUBLE everything these days when I shop. lol

Tonight I did a little organizing in the loft and also finished these cards - parts of which have been lying about as ‘unfinished business’. This first one repeats the word Memories. There are also two clocks on the card front. The image is Mo Manning’s Late. I saw the most fabulous creation using this particular image on his blog - gorgeous - mine comes nowhere near that and I’m not sure what I’ll do with such a large clunky card - but I do like the whole Alice think I see going on in cards these days. I read Alice in Wonderland as a child - have to say I didn’t particularly like it. My Mom had this whole set of children’s classics and I read them all. Tales of Arabian Nights was probably my favorite.

This next one has two flowers. Have used this image before. I think it’s darling.

This one has the two mice. The cute little crochet flower is the corner is one of several my Mom crocheted for me. At seventy-nine, her fanciwork is second to no one’s. The card is no big deal - not my best coloring for sure but it was lying around and fit the bill.

Can’t honestly say I’m particularly pleased with any of these cards - though I do like the froggie - but perhaps I’ll have better luck today.

Also sent off a stack of cards for a swap I’m participating in. I love receiving all the cards in return. I haven’t entered in many but if you know of a good one, drop me a line. I think these are really pretty. I like the pocket on the front and the 3D flower. Doesn’t fit into the challenge but thought I’d post anyway.

This challenge will run for TWO weeks - ends Sunday, July 10th at which time I am going to choose my favorite entry for the blog candy. I usually make a random draw, but this time I’m changing it up a little, to make it just a little more interesting.

Be sure to link up to Mr. Linky below and have a great day. This is officially Day One of my holidays and while the temp is only about 15 degrees, I’m sure I’ll find something to do outside.

(Not sure why these little red x’s appeared - ignore while I try to get rid of them)

And Congrats to Design NeAl who won this week’s little bit of blog candy. Contact me at justscraps.ca@gmail.com with your snail mail address and I’ll get a little package in the mail to you this week.
