HYCCT1504 - Undergoing Renovation Chat Thread

Challenge Title: Undergoing Renovation
Hostess: fionna51 aka Diane
Keyword: HYCCT1504
Date: Sunday, October 4, 2015


"Undergoing Renovation". That's one clever, and slightly humorous, way to put it...when someone has to deal with breast reconstruction after surgery.

Well, we are going to focus on renovation today. :grin:

Your challenge is to take a card you have made in the past, and that you like, and make another one that you like just as much...similar, but different and new and exciting.
Be sure to include a link to your past card that you are renovating.

[Shoe Girl]

I absolutely loved renovating one of my old cards and chose one that was a scrappy card because I love using up my scraps. We all have them and we all want to use them and not just toss stuff. Here is my card for this fantastic challenge: HYCCT1504 Flower Garden by Shoe Girl - Cards and Paper Crafts at Splitcoaststampers.

Diane- such a great challenge, thanks! As I love to re-purpose card elements, I took this distressed Noah's Arc panel with happy animals and added a striped background, along with some dc floral in lilac. Finished with a love, hope ribbon tie. Here's HYCCT1504 Happy Boat

Sometimes I need to go back and look at some of my old cards (that I usually have forgotten I ever made :oops and update them!

I read this earlier, but haven't had time to make cards today. It should be an easy challenge, because when I look at my gallery, I see quite a few cards that could use some reconstruction. Hopefully will get one made tomorrow.

Thanks for this challenge- here is my renovated card :-)

HYCCT1504 Nautical Thinking of You by Julie Gearinger - Cards and Paper Crafts at Splitcoaststampers

[Greywolf]

The hardest part was deciding which of my cards to reconstruct. I decided to choose a simple card and keep it simple. I gave my card a New Outlook.

This challenge was easy for me as I remake a lot of cards. In the Card Ministry we will often have cards that were put together wrong (by non-crafters), and I take them apart and make a new card. Also, I sometimes have cards in my stash that are old and I'm no longer happy with them so I'll remake them into something that I'm happier about sending out.
