Have The Best Day

 

4 challenges inspired today's card...

Freshly Made Sketches // #FMS759 ...A sketch challenge!!  This sketch was perfect for combining today's challenges.  It was a fun clean and simple sketch with so many possibilities.  I may just have to use it again before this challenge is over.

AAA Card Challenge // #325 ...A "clean and simple" color challenge!!  I used Stampin Up colors: Pale Plum, Perfect Plum, Night of Navy, and Mossy Meadow on today's card.

Stencil Fun Challenge // OCT2026 ...An "anything goes" stencil challenge with an optional twist!!  I didn't use the optional twist today but stay tuned...I will use it on tomorrow's card.  "Crazy is our fame, STENCILS are our game"...their blog quote!!

Alphabet Challenge // 16OCT26 ...An ABC challenge!!  M is for MOTIVATIONAL!!  Sometimes you just need to be reminded to have the BEST day...and you might just need a card to motivate you to make it that!!

Just Believe (Retired from Stampin Up)

 

4 challenges inspired today's card...

Time Out Challenges / / #TOC323 ...A "pick two" challenge!!  From the six words given, pick two of them to use on your card.  The six words are: Harvest, basket, gingham, circle, baking and apple.  I picked gingham and circle.

Little Red Wagon Challenge // #LRW879 ...A theme challenge!!  STITCHING is the theme for this current challenge.  I used a stitched die for my sentiment (from Stampin Up).

Word Art Wednesday // #772-773 ...An "anything goes" challenge with an optional scripture as inspiration!!  My inspiration for the current scripture is the word BLESSED!!  Stampin Up's Just Believe stamp set seemed perfect for this thank you card I created because I feel blessed and wanted to let the other person know.

Stencil Fun Challenge // OCT2026 ...A stencil with an opitonal twist!!  Crazy is Our Fame...Stencil is Our Game!!   I did lots of partial stenciling on today's card...the background and the sentiment circle but didn't use the optional twist this time.

New Challenge at CAS on Friday #344

 

Today begins a new challenge at...

CAS on Friday // #344 ...A "clean and simple" challenge with a theme!!  The theme for this current challenge is SHADES OF GRAY!!  I used Stampin Up's Smokey Slate and Basic Gray for my take on this challenge.  I decided that shades of gray makes a great masculine card.  I pulled out the retired Guy Greetings stamp set from Stampin Up and got busy using my shades of gray.

We hope you will join the fun and play along with our new challenge.  We can't wait to see all the SHADES OF GRAY that will be turning up in our gallery.
