Let's Scrap - Scrapbook Frenzy Challenge

I signed up to play the Scrapbook Frenzy Challenge over on Let's Scrap.  The challenge is to only use products in the Clique Kit to make these four sketches.  I've got to say I found these sketches challenging.  I don't use many circles in my scrapbooking.

Here are the sketches:

Frenzy sketch 2

Frenzy sketch 3

Frenzy sketch 4

And here is my take on the sketches.  I did two double page layouts.

Mojo Monday Sketch 394 (MOJO394)

I keep planning to try more challenges but I never seem to get the pictures loaded and linked.  Maybe this post will be the start of a new pattern...well, I can hope.  :)

I created my card using sketch 394 from the Mojo Monday blog.

I really liked all the layers on this card and decided to use some of my Stampin' Up paper stack.  I just love Coastal Cabana and Real Red together.

The base of the card is Crumb Cake and the papers are from the Fresh Prints Designer Series paper stack.  I stamped the label using Real Red and the Four Frames stamp set, the trees are from the Serene Silhouettes stamp set and stamped in Early Espresso.  The happy birthday is from Papertrey Ink's Inside & Out: Birthday stamp set.  I punched the label with the Decorative Label punch, the flower using the Petite Petals punch and the scallop punch from the Itty Bitty Shapes Punch Pack.  The ribbon is Woven Satin Ribbon in Real Red.  For the Crumb Cake panel, I embossed it with the Spellbinders Simplicity M-bossabilities.

CAS(E) this Sketch #105

I thought it would be fun to try playing alone with some challenges.  I'm using up some scraps left over from the Apron Strings 2014 – September Smaller than a Breadbox kit.

Here is the sketch I was following from CAS(E) this Sketch.

And here is my card:

Shhh, don't tell my nephew Jakob because this is going to him in September.
