Virtual Scrap - Day 1

Hello Nomad friends.  Mr Mojo is hibernating so I decided to sign up for a virtual scrap and see if he woke up.   In exchange for a modest sum I have access to a private fb group and 16 bold challenges.  Yep, 16!!   I call em bold cos they are creative and challenging, which is just what Mr Mojo needed.  My desk has not recovered from Halloween, let alone Christmas, so I will be incorporating scraps and UFO's in an attempt to craft my way out of my mess.  In order to save reading I'm gonna keep adding to this post today, if I get anything made to add LOL.  I'd love to do a project for them all, but being a slow crafter, and only having 3 days, that would be a tall order.  So here we go..........  No particular order.  Just what grabs me first.......

CHALLENGE 8 - RECYCLE
Use something that was going to be thrown away.

Squeeeeeeeeeee!  First outing for this adorable dog from Kort og Godt.  I found a scrap of beige patterned card and stamped the dog on it.  I coloured with Promarkers and glitter glue and fussy cut.  My recycled item is that book spine the dog is resting on.  A Kort og Godt stripey card base and Merry Christmas stamped on another bit of the brown patterned scrap at the bottom.  

Rubbish remade!  Glad I saved that from the recycling bag!

CHALLENGE 14 - DIE CUT BONANZA
Use at least 5 die cuts (wasn't sure if this was 5 cuts, or 5 dies, so I went with 6 different dies LOL)


 I made a pocket tag with a hidden tag.

I used Poppystamps Pickering Snowflake Background and Snowflake Oval Collage (for the little glitter snowflakes), Stamplorations Luggage and Stitch Tag dies, Papirdesigns Vipps die and Winnie and Walter Pierced Circle die for the pocket aperture.  Vipps is a phone app here where you can send money to other people.  Better than the cheque is in the post........

Sounds like heaps of fun! LOVE that little pup so much and that you have a book spine hanging around. I have quite a few torn and aged pages which I love but never seem to use. Jo x
