Just Add Ink #593 // Retro Rubber #117

 Today's card was inspired by 2 challenges...

Just Add Ink // #JAI493 ...A color challenge!! The trio of colors for this challenge are Polished Pink, Coastal Cabana, and Daffodil Delight.  Fantastic party colors!!

Retro Rubber // #rrcb117 ...A game board challenge!!  My winning three in a row on the tic-tac-toe game board run along the bottom...birthday, confetti, twine.  For this challenge we are also suppose to use a stamp that is over a year old.  So...I used Stampin Up's Everything Amazing stamp set that came out in 2019.

Retro Rubber #114 // TGIF Challenges #352 // Global Design Project #327

 3 challenges inspired today's card...

Retro Rubber // #rrcb174 ...A photo challenge!! Not only should the photo inspire us but we also need to use stamps that are over a year old.  I used Stampin Up's Everything Amazing stamp set from 2019 and their thinlits alphabet die set that is even older.  I picked my colors from the pastels in the photo.

TGIF Challenges // #tgifc362 ...A theme challenge!!  LOVE!! With Valentine's Day right around the corner this is a popular theme.  While my card could be used for the upcoming holiday it was actually used for a bridal shower!!

Global Design Project // #GDP327 ...A theme challenge!! LOVE/VALENTINE!!  I actually made a second card just like this one to add to my Valentine's Day stash since the first one got used at a bridal shower this weekend.

Just Add Ink #530 & CAS(E) this Sketch #184

Two challenges inspired today's card...

CAS(E) this Sketch #397...The current sketch challenge is truly CAS!  And I followed it exactly...even down to using hearts!!  Are these hearts from Stampin Up's Everything Amazing stamp set adorable?!?

Just Add Ink Challenge #530...The current challenge was...use only stamps, ink, and paper!!  Go back to the basics!!  Use those first three items we started this hobby with!!

#bethegift challenge:  Give someone the benefit of the doubt!!

2 Cards...CASology Challenge #366 & Handstamped Sentiments #337

ZODIAC....that is the current cue card from CASology.  A black card for my base seemed fitting for this challenge.  All products used on this card are from Stampin Up but they have all been retired...still worth keeping around!!







Handstamped Sentiments had a fun photo challenge...festive with lots of balloons!!  Let the birthday party begin!!  For this card I used Stampin Up's Everything Amazing stamp set.

#bethegift challenge:  Let go of something you are carrying against someone today.

Paper Craft Crew Challenge #360

Here is my take on another fun sketch from Paper Craft Crew.  I used a new Stampin Up Set that was gifted to me by my up-line for my 21 years with Stampin Up!!  This was the first card I made with it...looking forward to getting creative with it!!  

3 Gifts Challenge: (using Ann Voskamp's 1000 gifts daily prompts) three gifts shining...Christmas lights//earring I just found hidden in a pocket that I cleaned...they look brand new//Christians shining brightly for their Lord and Saviour!!
