Anyway I'm back and trying to pick up on a few challenges I've missed out on while I was away, so I'm bundling a couple of cards together in a one-size-fits-all post.
First up, a card I made with odds and ends of leftover card. I really wish I'd remembered to back the card for that delicate die cut border with adhesive sheet before I cut it! But a cocktail stick and some PVA glue (and a great deal of swearing) worked as an alternative.......
I'm entering this card into
Less is More week 221 - Use a Tag
Addicted to CAS - #62 Black, white and gold
Pixie's Snippets Playground - week 174
My second card is also one for the Playground - in fact it used up more snippets than it appears to, because my first attempt used different wording, cut from individual letters, but I lost some and had to re-cut them (I think I may have a B and an S somewhere inside my bra right now) and then even with the help of my trusty post it notes I made such a pig's ear of lining them up that I had to go right back to the drawing board.
I'm also entering it into AAA Challenge #38 - There's a Hole in my card
Anyway, it worked the second time around and has the added bonus of leaving me with the die cut leaf swirl shape to use on another project.

Hey that gold is looking gorgeous Jane full of glamour, drama and opulence. Love it. I'm with you on the airport craft room idea - what an incredible idea! Hmmmm! Oh sorry your other card is fantastic too and an ingenious 'hole' in the card with the design paper showing through. Looks great. Thanks for playing along at both Less is More and AAA Cards. Sarah x

Two great cards Jane! I do so love the black and gold one and the open die cut on the front of your second card is a great idea! Clever girl!

Jane ... you are so funny!! I agree, they should have craft rooms for us where we have to wait for a long time! :) LOVE your gold tag card ... so shiny and pretty. And I can just imagine how much fun it was gluing down the intricate border (NOT!). :) Love the second card too .. so pretty with the patterned paper showing through. Thanks so much for playing along at ATCAS.

Welcome home! These are exquisite creations, Jane! And, boy, do I love your idea of craft rooms at airports!! Hugs, Darnell
How clever! I love the textured card stock which gives it an almost country feel to go with the vine and butterfly. And the pop of patterned paper through to the front is inspired. Thanks for joining us at AAA Cards! Jenny x
