Just Add Ink # 546 // Time Out #183

 

Two challenges inspired today's card...

Just Add Ink // #JAI546 ...A steampunk challenge!!  

Time Out // #183 ...A challenge to be different!!

Since a steampunk theme is new to me this style is very different for me!!  

 

Verse of the Day:

Cardz 4 Guyz Challenge #267 // Time Out Challenge #183

 Two cards....

First Card...
It is time for a new Cardz 4 Guyz challenge.  Our new challenge calls for a masculine "by the water" card.  For my card I am using Stampin Up's By the Dock bundle.  

This card also fits the Time Out challenge.  Their challenge is to be DIFFERENT!!  This card is definitely different for me...I rarely create a scene with my stamping.

Second card...

Inspired By // #IB ...A photo challenge & a sketch challenge!!  I used both the photo and the sketch.  In real life my tribe of girlfriends shows up much better than in this picture...I hate when then happens!!  We all need a girlfriend or two that are with us till the end!

 

Verse of the Day:

The Lord is my rock, my fortress, and my deliverer, my God, my rock where I seek refuge, my shield and the horn of my salvation, my stronghold.

Psalms 18:2 (CSB)

Freshly Made Sketches #477 // Addicted to CAS #193 // The Paper Players #533 // CAS Colours & Sketches #411

 3 x 3 CAS added to a sketch...

This 3x3 gift card was created for two current challenges.  The Paper Players challenge ( #PP533 ) this week was a CAS challenge with an animal theme.  This sassy little donkey from Stampin Up's Sale-A-Bration set, Darling Donkeys was perfect for their challenge.  The second challenge that inspired this gift card was the "shapes" challenge from the Addicted to CAS team.  I used punches to create the back drop of confetti shapes.

Next comes two more challenges that gave me the idea of adding it to a base creating a 6x6 postcard.  First the sketch challenge from Freshly Made Sketches.  The 3x3 gift card fit this sketch perfectly!!  Secondly, I used the color combo from the CAS Colours & Sketches challenge.  Thier color combo for this current challenge is So Saffron, Pear Pizzazz, and Mango Melody.  A great spingy color combination.

 

Verse of the Day:

But you belong to God, my dear children. You have already won a victory over those people, because the Spirit who lives in you is greater than the spirit who lives in the world.

1 John 4:4 (NLT)

INKspirational Challenge #234 // Just Us Girls #575 // Hand Stamped Sentiments #359

 2 cards....

Card #1 inspired by one challenge...

INKspirational Challenge // #234 ...A photo challenge!  When I first saw this photo I was thinking I would make a dog lovers card, but I remembered this soccer ball die and decided to make a soccer lovers card.  Drawing my inspiration from the red soccer ball on the bed.  Once a soccer mom always a soccer mom!!

Card #2 inspired by two challenges...

Just Us Girls // #JUG575 ...A trend challenge!  The trend for this challenge...embossing folders!!  I used my dotted clouds folder to create a blue skies backdrop for my card.

Hand Stamped Sentiments // #HSS359 ...A sketch challenge!!  This frame was laying on my pile of pieces and parts that got cut but never used, and I am determined to put to use the items that a piling up there.  So...this Very Vanilla frame became the start of my take on this week's sketch from the Hand Stamped team.

 

Verse of the Day:                                                                                  Now that I, your Lord and Teacher, have washed your feet, you also should wash one another’s feet.
