CAS Colours & Sketches #500 // Festive Friday Challenge #0124

 2 challenges inspired today's card...

CAS Colours & Sketches // #CC&S500 ...A milestone challenge!!  500 challenges...wowsers!!  I have not been here for all of them but most of them!!  Crazy to think about how many cards have been created!!  For this milestone they are challenging us to use a sketch or color combo from the previous year.  Their last challenge only had 10 entries and I felt like it needed another one so for today's card I am using the color combo from #499.

Festive Friday Challenge // #FF0124 ...An inspo list challenge!!  For this challenge we are given a list of 10 items in honor of a festivity and asked to use at least 3 of them as inspiration for our project.  The festivity for this challenge is the 12 days of Christmas and from the list honoring this festivity I am using...Number//Square//Red.

 2 challenges inspired today's card...

Global Design Project // #GDP373 ...A color challenge!!  The color combo for this challenge is Bermuda Bay, Tahitian Tide, and Blushing Bride.  A beachy combination in my mind...well it seems I can make almost anything a beachy theme!!

Freshly Made Sketches // #FMS566 ...A sketch challenge!!  I love finding whole sand dollars on beach!!  And today you will find them on my card.  Since we will be without our kids on Christmas morning we talked about watching the sunrise at the beach but we are getting a crazy cold snap here in FL and it will be 22 degrees on Christmas morning so...no thank you!!
