A New Challenge Blog

Hello!

I just wanted to drop by and let you all know there is an awesome, new challenge blog I thought you'd all love to go check out!

Black and Neon Green

I had fun making this card! I've never been very fond of neon green, but after seeing some of the ideas the design team came up with on the Colour Create challenge blog I decided to take a shot at their "Neon Green and Black" challenge! I think it turned out pretty good, what do you think? Then on the Stamp Something Challenge Blog their challenge was to use your favorite embellishment. I love flowers. I think they're my favorite. I have a whole, big shelf of them - I figure that makes them my favorite! I also love buttons, ribbon, and brads; so it was hard to choose one, but I think I have to put flowers at the top of my list. :)

I used The Angel Company stamps to make that patterned paper.

Thanks for looking!

Back to School

To make this card I followed the Lili of the Valley challenge #35; this sketch:

I really enjoyed this sketch! I definitely wouldn't have come up with this exact layout without the sketch.

I also participated in the recipe challenge they have at Cupcake Craft Challenge this week. They wanted everyone to use 3 buttons, 2 papers (I used two patterned pieces in my card), and 1 ribbon. That was a lot of fun. I don't think I would have added the 3rd button near the sentiment without this challenge!

The 3rd challenge I participated in was over at Cute Card Thursday. Their challenge of the week was the "Back to School" theme. I was glad to have the motivation to try a "Back to School" card. Without the challenge I may have never made a card for that! It caused me to use paper I may never have used otherwise, too, which was fun. :)

A Spoon Full of Sugar blog is hosting a "distressing" challenge this week, so I inked the edges of all the papers except the black to participate in this challenge! It's a lot of fun challenging myself to incorporate so many challenge into one card! :)

Thanks for looking!
