Welcome to  Crazies4challenges, it's Maryann here and I am the hostess for this month.

Firstly I would like to introduce this months guest designer Nicky Foden from My Messy Craft Room, I am sure you will enjoy her creations.

I don't like wasting things so I seem to have lots of paper off cuts, so here is a chance to use some of your leftover papers, make a card using paper or card strips/scraps.

There are many ways to incorporate leftover paper/cardstock scraps in our card making. If you need  more ideas here are a few tutorials we found which may help.

• Using Scraps for Cards 
• Stripe Inlay
• Rainbow Scrap Backgrounds

Thanks for playing along with my challenges this month. I hope it's been fun! Can you believe it's the last week of April already? It's flown by for me, the warmer months always do! For this week, I decided to return to the trend of metallics and combine it with another huge trend

FOILING!

Here are some tutorials that use heat foiling along with several other options.

Foiling with Glue

Simple No-Heat Foil Techniques

Foil Backgrounds

Introduction to Minc Machine

Foil Die Cuts 3 Ways

If you don't like to or don't have the supplies for foiling, try looking through your washi, stickers, chipboard shapes or patterned paper for foiled elements. If all else fails, use mirror cardstock which has a similar look.

Be sure to thank this month's guest designer, Cindy Lawrence, for joining us this month. Her cards were amazing and her colouring so inspiring!

Welcome back to Crazy 4 Challenges! I loved all of your entries for last week's challenge!

 

This week, the 3rd of the month, we have a sketch as usual. Feel free to take the sketch and flip, rotate, mirror or switch it to portrait orientation. As long as we can see you were inspired by the elements on the sketch.
