My Crafty Weekend

Happy Sunday, and I am just starting to dig through the mess on my desk, from having been so crafty.

First up is a card using some MFT bears to play along with the MFT Color Challenge #143 and MFT Sketch Challenge #493.  My friends Kim and Tracey and I have decided to try to take these MFT bears on some adventures together, so I will be excited to see what they post also.  I am also linking this card up at Simon Says Monday Challenge: It's a Man Thing.

Next up is a challenge inspired by the sketch at Freshly Made Sketches #439 and the colors at Just Add Ink #509 (can you see the yellow sprinkles in the background?).  I am also entering this at Seize the Birthday #192: All About Summer (because...Popsicles!!)

This next card is for my mom, who loves pandas, tap dancing and Broadway musicals.  I know that she will love this chorus line of dancing pandas, inspired by the challenge at Less is More #421: Borders.

This next card will be my final and third entry at Poppystamps #69: Clean and Simple challenge, my go to style of card making.  I chose to feature these adorable Whittle Mice in some bright and summery colors.  I am also entering this card at Just Us Girls #540: Frame It, CAS on Friday #182: Sunshine, Inkspirational #215: Yellow Paint and  Seize the Birthday #192: All About Summer.

Another birthday card for my stash, featuring the colors from Color Throwdown #597.

How about a bunch of cute dogs all squeezing together for the sake of friendship?  I am entering this card at Inky Paws #125, Cupcake Inspirations #495: Friendship, and Just Us Girls #540: Frame It.

Last but not least, a card inspired by the challenge at Stay Crafty with Hero #10: Build a Scene,  Seize the Birthday #192: All About Summer (we always go to the fair in the summer), and SOSS #162: T is for Technique (ink blending).

My Crafty Weekend

Hello hello.  Another card filled post from me.  So many cards and so many challenges.  I'll just jump right in!

First up is this card using some stamps and dies I got for my birthday from Concord & 9th.  I will use this card to send to a friend to let her know I'm thinking of her.    I'm entering this card at Just Add Ink #505 and Addicted to Stamps & More #389: CAS.

Another card using birthday goodies from Concord & 9th.  I'm entering this card at The Flower Challenge #44: Monochrome (I used all of my Copics starting with R3), Addicted to CAS #184: Flower, CAS Colors and Sketches #370, Seize the Birthday #190: Monochromatic.

Next up, another graduation card.  I am entering this card at Perfectly CAS #9: Animals, Shopping Our Stash #420: Oh the places you'll go (my very favorite sentiment for graduation cards) and The Sisterhood of Snarky Stampers #160: Y is for Yellow (my 'yellow brick road).

Here is another card I can use for graduation or for someone who is embarking on a new adventure.  I am entering it at Cupcake Inspirations #493: Let's Roll and CAS on Friday #180: Use a Die (this card uses 3 dies).

.

This next card is inspired by the Thank You Challenge at Paper Smooches, the sketch at CAS(E) this Sketch #372, the colors at Just Us Girls #536 and AAA Cards #165: Up to One Third with optional repeating image (my paint splatters from I Heart Art).

It is always a challenge for me to create an anniversary card that is not too feminine.  I think I accomplished that with this card, and I am entering it at Paper Players #499: Men in Mind.  I combined elements from a Hero Arts MMH kit and PTI Gatsby Glamour.

Last up is a card using a fun stamp and die from Hero Arts.  I am entering this card at Stay Crafty with Hero #8: Small Joys (I used the tiny sentiments from Hero Greetings to stamp little messages behind each of the doors), and A Blog Named Hero: Hugs from a Distance.
