Male Room Challenge

Hello there...

My blog friend Greta is Guesting this month at The Male Room Challenge Blog and this week the challenge theme is Up in The Air (No Birds)


I thought I'd push myself to come up with something so I pulled out some unused bits and pieces I keep in a big box and made this card


I had my sweet great nephew Ross in mind when I made this ... He knows just everything there is to know about planets and would dearly love to be a pilot one day... But Ross is special needs and I'm not sure that would be possible...


My 'moon' is a scrap I had left when I made This galaxy card and the aeroplanes are a die from Simon Says Stamp  and as the Wednesday Challenge at Simon Says is Anything Goes I'll be linking my card there too


Quite a simple card really but one more scrap used up ... 10,000 to go Lol!

I hope your week is going well 
Have a good day

Wonderful card Ros! Great use of leftover bits, the moon looks amazing and I love how you arranged the planes like they're in orbit! Ross will love it! hugs :)

I do like scrap cards, Ros, love this one for sure, so clever and unusual! My scraps of card stock are sorted into low boxes again and I have been making tags using the bigger pieces. I seem to hoard a lot and then they are forgotten. Keep going, but I find that there will always be wasted scraps! Have a beautiful Thursday!

Wow, that was a tough theme...I don't know if I would have come up with anything, since birds weren't allowed. You nailed it! What a great card and Ross is going to love it!

I love those shiny planes - what a great idea to arrange them around the aperture. And well done for using your scraps!

Wow..made from scraps...beautifully put together, and I love that sentiment!! I know what you mean about 10,000 scraps, I have about as many, and try so hard to use it all.....it will never happen...lol!

What a great card, I'm sure Ross will love it. I really like how you made the moon and set it back by using an aperture, clever. Thank you for joining us at TMR.
