ColourQ and Stamplorations




What would you do if you found almost 2 hours?  I was lucky enough to find about that much time when my oldest daughter did not need to be picked up from school early, as we had planned.  I'll bet you can guess where this is going....I used some of my extra time to make a quick card--my second for this week's ColourQ cQc #230, where I just loved the colors--and my first time playing in a new challenge for me, Stamplorations Challenge #7.  This week's Stamplorations challenge is a sketch, one of my favorite challenges.  I rotated the sketch 90 degrees.  I was inspired to use Circle Scribbles by this gorgeous card by Kim.




I do have just a couple of Stamplorations sets coming my way, but the gals at Stamplorations were nice enough to point out to me that I did not need to wait for my package, as any stamps are welcome in their challenge.

So, if you are looking for another sketch challenge, why not check out Stamplorations?  This sketch is going for the next couple of weeks, and it's a really versatile sketch.  I'm sure I'll be back to try it again once my new stamps arrive.

And, the rest of my 'found time' is now going to be spent taking Sherlock on a nice long walk.  Gotta wake up that lazy puppy first.


Also linking up to Simply Create Too, where their challenge is to shop your stash.  I've had those MME enamel dots for quite a while, and this is the first time I've used them.  And, The Paper Players #185, where the theme is Thank You cards.




Thanks for Visiting
