Just Because...

Gosh, how do you folks routinely do multiple challenges with one card? Yikes! I'm still tired from my Skater Ian!!! lol!


I was too tired and too busy to post yesterday, so I have lots for you today! The first is a little card I'll call Just Because... this is for the Stamptacular Sunday Challenge, which was to use a bear on our cards! How much fun are bears??? No problem!

Stamp: TAC, Flowers: Martha Stewart Flower Punch, DP: Basic Grey June Bug, Kooh-I-Noor Pencils, CS: DCWV

Next up, "Dream", is a card that I made for the Midnight Madness Sketch Challenge 15. We had a sketch to follow. Below is the sketch, followed by my card! The main image was a $1 stamp from the bin at Joanne's this week when I took DH to the airport!

Stamps: Stamp Dimensions Crafts & Inkadinkado Inchies, Tim Holtz's Black Soot Distress Ink, Just a touch of Sakura's Starburst Pen on the stars, and that most fabulous soft and fuzzy trim, I found at For Keep's Sake this week!

This bright and cheerful card is one that I made for two challenges (hooray for two-fers!). Corrosive Challenges had a sketch this week, so I started by following it. 365 Cards had this incredibly difficult challenge (sorry Pam!), Mixed Message, of using 3 different ways to express your message. Folks, with 110 birth announcements in various states of creation, this one nearly put me in that white jacket that buckles in the back. Really....!

My recipe for this card is: DCWV CS & DP, Big pink tag from my stash, the Happy Birthday is a cloth tag, the #2 is an old (REALLY old) acrylic sticker, and the "YOU" is a rub-on. I sure hope this will qualify, as there are no do-overs! Stick a fork in it, because it's done!!! hee hee...

So Grateful is a set that Gina K. Designs sells, that is designed by Rupa Shevde. What a gorgeous set it is! This is another two-fer! The new challenge at Stampin' Sisters in Christ, had a theme of "FOOD", plain and simple!!! With Thanksgiving approaching, when I think of food, I think of plenty, and from there, this set came out... I followed Monday's Mojo Monday sketch for this card.

Stamps: Gina K. Designs, Kooh-I-Noor Pencils, Crystal Laquer, DCWV Indian Summer Fall Matstack.

The last card I have to post is for 365 Cards Challenge for today, which is simply (OMG Thank You Pam!!!!) to use peach on your card. I jumped up and down and whooped and hollered when I read today's directions!!! The dog thought I was ready for the white coat with the buckles...

I used the Mojo Maria sketch (Tuesday's) for the layout. As usual, I was the rebel that turned the sketch up on its end!!! lol...can't help myself.

Stamp: Shine Anya (from the Greeting Farm set of Rain, Snow, or Shine Anya), Kooh-I-Noor Pencils, Tombow Markers, and the DP is by Provo, found at Big Lots!!!

I quit! Back to birth announcements! I hope that you all have a blessed day, and if I have good luck, I will be back to do some blurfing later today! Caryl P., have you been watchin' those Cardinal's play ball???? muhahahaha......
