TGIF Challenges #349

 1 challenge inspired today's card...

TGIF Challenges // #tgifc349 ...A "closure" challenge!!  I rolled this one around in my head for several days and just couldn't come up with anything...until...I was lacing up shoes!!! I decided to try a laced up closure on my card.  So using ultra mini brads I did just that.

CAS(E) this Sketch

Here is my take on the sketch challenge from CAS(E) this Sketch.  No stamping on today's card...just some die cutting.  The sentiment on this card was cut out and removed, creating negative space and the second die was layered over Stampin Up's amazing designer papers.  My colors are all blending together with not much contract at all but some times subtle is good!!

#bethegift challenge:    In the in-between space of today, stand in the gap in prayer for someone who is hurting.

Tic Tac Toe Challenge #058 & CAS(E) this Sketch #366

Another Tic Tac Toe board challenge....I'm using the diagonal--upper right to lower left--layers//ribbon//stripes.  Since this board called for layers, the CAS(E) this Sketch challenge was perfect for pairing with the Tic Tac Toe challenge.


#bethegift challenge:   Start looking for items that you have on hand that bring you joy!

Happiness Always

We have a summer/fall full of weddings this year...including our daughters.  I decided I better get started on making some wedding cards.  I do wish each couple...Happiness Always!!  


This card was inspired by the sketch from Hand Stamped Sentiments.  I used Stampin Up's Flourish thinlits die and some retired designer papers. It was also created for the Celebrations challenge from Paper Craft Crew...I think a wedding definitely qualifies as a celebration!!
