5 challenges inspired today's card...

TGIF Challenges // #tgifc563 ...A color challenge!!  The trio of colors called for in this current color challenge: Melon Mambo, Black, and Bubble Bath.

Cupcake Inspirations // #CI634 ...A "cupcake photo inspired" challenge!!  My inspiration from the cupcake photo: the pink & black color combination and the hearts!!  Love is in the air!!

Allsorts // #AC842 ...An "anything goes" challenge with an optional theme!!  The optional theme for this current challenge is MAKE YOUR OWN BACKGROUND.  I did just that using Stampin Up stamps and inks.  I used a Lavina stamp for my focal image.

We Love Stamping // FEB2026 ...A "stamping" challenge with an optional theme!!  HEARTS!!  I stamped hearts in my background using Stampin Up's Work of Art (retired) stamp set.

Retro Rubber Challenge // #rrcb265 ...A "tic-tac-toe" challenge useing retro rubber!!  Retro, meaning that they want us to use a stamp that is over a year old.  The Work of Art set that I used for creating my background is over 10 years old.  While my Lavina stamp, that I used as my focal point, is brand new to me...all the other stamps fit the retro element of this challenge.  My winning three in a row on the tic-tac-toe board: die cut (two stitched ovals from Stampin Up), my choice (retro rubber), and gems (clear rhinestones).

Never Been Used Schtuff // #NBUS83 ...The NBUS blog doesn't give challenges but offers a great place to show off those items that have never been used...whether they are brand new or items that you have had for a while but haven't gotten around to using. Today I am inking up a stamp set that was gifted to me for the very first time.
