The Paper Players // #PP761 ...A sketch challenge!!  This sketch was the starting point for today's card.  It worked perfectly for combing these challenges.

Can You Handle The Pressure // 25OCT25 ...An embossing challenge with an optional theme!!  The optional theme for this embossing challenge is...Pumpkins or the color ORANGE.  I used Pumpkin Pie designer paper & enamel dots from Stampin Up...got the pumpkin and the orange...LOL...and of course I used an embossing folder (a very old one from my stash that I am not even sure where it came from but I love that it gave the look of waves to my sailboat card).

Addicted to Stamps & More // #ATS&M504 ...An "any occasion" challenge!!  I like to keep cards in my stash that are occasion neutral so that I have cards for "any occasion".  Today's card fits that perfectly and the needed sentiment can be added to the inside when the occasion arrises.

TicTacToe Challenges // #tttc282 ...A "game board" challenge!!  My winning three in a row on this tic-tac-toe game board: fall colors (kraft, navy & orange), enamel dots (a trio of orange dots), and free (I pick washi tape).

Little Red Wagon // #LRW830 ...A theme challenge!!  The theme for this current challenge is...NOT A CARD!!  If not a card, well then, how about a bookmark?!?
