4 challenges inspired today's card...

Alphabet Challenge // 04OCT24 ...An ABC challenge!!  N is for Numbers!!  How about a bingo card??  That is all about numbers correct?!?  I think this embossing folder is just the perfect background for a birthday card.

Can You Handle The Pressure // 12OCT24 ...An "anything goes" embossing challenge with an optional theme!!  I decided not use the optional theme.  Showcasing this embossing folder fit the "anything goes" part of this challenge.

Once Upon A Time // #OUAT27 ...A monthly book challenge!!  For the month of October we are being inspired by the book The Gruffalo by Julia Donaldson.  I am sure most creators will design their cards by the monster but I used the mouse as my inspiration!!  Colorado Craft Company's little mouse seemed to fit the little guy on the cover.

Splitcoast Stampers // #SC1030 ...A sketch challenge!!  I loved this sketch with a pocket...perfect for using my Pocket Full Of Sunshine stamp set from Stampin Up (and the little mouse and star from Colorado Craft Company).
