Two cards and Two Challenges



Despite a very hectic weekend, which included one lacrosse game and three soccer games (me watching, NOT playing), I managed to sneak in a bit of crafty time.  My first card is for a new challenge that seems to be all the rage--retro sketches.  I made this card below for RS#2.

New Home

This next card is for the current Passion for Papertrey Challenge:  Colour Pop Challenge to use black, white and a splash of colour.

Celebrate

Supplies Used (PTI):
New Home:
Stamps:  MSS Neighborhood, Turning a New Leaf
Paper:  Kraft, Vintage Cream, Green Tea Leaves


Celebrate:
Stamps:  Rosie Posie, Think Big Favorites
Paper:  White


Thanks for Visiting
