Not VSN Cards!

I did make a couple of other cards this weekend (don't ask me how I managed to fit all these in especially with going to the hairdressers for a couple of hours and then looking at new cars for a couple more too!).

This first one is for Mojo Monday Challenge #231 for the sketch, Stampin Royalty's Challenge #144 to recycle something (my ribbon is the ribbon that my Verve stamps came wrapped up in. I always keep their ribbon as it's beautifully shimmery!) and for ColourQ's Challenge #127 to use these colours:

And here's my card. Excuse the boo boo as well! I used Pear Pizzazz patterned paper instead of Certainly Celery on the semi circle and didn't twig on until I was writing my recipe down and by then it was way too late to do anything about it! Nevermind, you can't tell too much I hope!

And my very final card from my marathon session this weekend is for Make It Monday's Challenge #56 to use partial die cuts, Ways To Use It Challenge #356 to make a card with boys' toys (I think guitars count seeing how many my BF has!) and Just Add Ink's Challenge #108 to use these colours. To do the partial die cut, I followed Betsy's video using Mat Stack #1, then masked it afterwards to stamp the guitars! Fab way to make the sentiment stand out just a bit more.

And my card...
