 Two cards today...

Card #1 was inspired by 1 challenge...

Global Design Project // #GDP306 ...A sketch challenge!!  This sketch was perfect for a "school" project!!  All "measured" and created with love for one of those teacher heroes that are out there getting things done!

Card # 2 was inspired by 2 challenges...

CAS Colours & Sketches // #433 ...A sketch challenge!!  I like the line up of multiple words called for in this sketch. I decided rather than repeat the same word over and over I would use a quote.  I may just be back with a second card that uses a repeated sentient.

Just Add Ink // #JAI569 ...A letter challenge!!  For this current challenge we are to add the letter "N".  Nautical is my added "N".  I kept this card very CAS...clean and simple!!

 2 Cards...

Card #1 was inspired by 2 challenges...

TGIF Challenges // #tgifc330 ...An "inspired by" challenge!! Be in inspired by the new Stampin Up mini catalog or on of the design team members.  This card was inspired by one of the design team members' card...Melissa Stout.  I just loved her card and decided that her card would be my inspiration!!  Thanks Melissa for the inspiration.

Time Out // #195 ...A theme challenge!! The theme for this current challenge...colored base cards.  I rarely do this any more but love the look!!  Thanks for the inspiration...you got me out of a rut!!

Card #2 was inspired by 3 challenges...

Color Hues // #TCH24 ...A color challenge!!  The color duo for this current challenge is Turquoise & Coral.  I used Calypso Coral and Tempting Turquoise (retired) from Stampin Up.

Try Stamping on Tuesday // #TSOT520 ...A sketch challenge!!  We were also challenges to get messy and try out ink splattering.  I got messy (always do when I am stampin) but opted for a splatter stamp!!

Retro Rubber // #rrcb165 ...A "mode of transportation" challenge!! The catch...stamps must be over a year old!!  My splatter stamp is from Stampin Up's Swirly Bird which came out is 2016.  The bicycle stamp (my mode of transportation) is just over a year old...got it in the spring of last year.

Just Add Ink #568 // Inspired By #183

2 cards...

Card #1 inspired by one challenge...

Just Add Ink // #JAI568 ...A sketch challenge!!  Another fun sketch perfect for using up designer papers from my stash!!  This summer I have made it my goal to not purchase any more designer papers and put a dent in my stash.  Slow process because I had quite the stash!! 

Card #2 inspired by one challenge...

Inspired By // #IB183 ...A photo and a sketch challenge!!  I used both the photo and the sketch.  My inspiration logic...instead of actually circles I let the flower clusters be my circles // Pink Mambo, Daffodil Delight, and Basic Gray were my color picks to represent the color combo in the photo
