C4C603 - Monochrome

For her final September challenge for the Crazies, Karen Ostergard asked us to make a monochromatic card -- any color.  One of my favorite colors is purple, so that's the color I chose for my card.  There is a little bit of gold (the scribble) on this card as well.

Actually, this card is one of eight that I made.  I have a card ministry at my church, and I have found that Crazy Al's Sheetload of Cards each month is the perfect way for me to make a bunch of cards at one time.  August's Sheetload made eight cards -- all similar, but not quite exactly the same.

Scor-Pal "More Than One Score" Challenge -- Handbags and Purses

The theme for this month's Scor-Pal "More than One Score" challenge is Handbags and Purses.  I'm not sure my tote is exactly a handbag or purse, but it's close.  

I recently discovered a cool Youtube series called "A Sheetload of Cards" by Call Me Crafty Al.  Each month Alicia demonstrates how you can get a number of cards (from 6 -12) using a couple of sheets of patterned paper and several sheets of  solid cardstock.  April's sheetload made 10 mini slimline cards made from two sheets of 12 x 12 patterned paper and 10 sheets of solid cardstock.  My Scor-Pal project was a little tote to hold the cards.

I modified a tutorial I found for a smaller 3" x 3" Note Card Tote to hold the 3 1/" x 6" mini slimline cards.
