I was lucky enough to have some crafty time this weekend, and played along in several challenges. First up is a card using colored pencils on kraft, part of the challenge this week at Make it Monday #276. I used the sketch at CAS(E) this Sketch #211.
Next up is this card, using a background stamp from MFT, as well as a freebie HUGS die from them and a PTI border die.
I am entering his card in the following challenges: Happy Little Stampers March CAS Challenge: Die Cuts, The Flower Challenge #6: Anything Goes, Inkspirational Challenge #129: Connect, and Paper Players #334: Cut it Out.
My next card is inspired by the challenge this week at Less is More #318: Mainly Teal. In particular, I really loved Jen's inspiration card. I was inspired to pull out an old Stamplorations stencil by a card I recently saw (but now cannot remember where--if anyone knows, please tell me so I can give credit).
I am also entering this card at Addicted to Stamps and More #251: Anything Goes.
And finally, a card inspired by this fun photo at Just Add Ink #349.
I am also entering this card at Seize the Birthday Anything Goes.
That's it for me today.
Thanks for Visiting
