The Best Time To Plant A Tree...

3 challenges inspired today's card...

Time Out Challenges // #TOC246 ...A quote challenge!!  "The best time to plant a tree was 20 years ago, the second best time is now."  So of course I had to "plant" a tree on today's card.

TGIF Challenges // #tgifc436 ...A color chalenge!!  The trio of colors for this challenge: Crumb Cake, Blackberry Bliss, and Pool Party.   

Addicted to Stamps & More // #ATSM453 ...A theme challenge!!  BIRTHDAY!!  I needed some masculine birthday cards added to my stash so today's birthday card has a masculine feel to it but could also be used for a female.

Winner Winner...Another win over at the Time Out challenge!!  Looking forward to some new digis....thanks to Verda Sharma for sponsoring this win!!

CAS Colours & Sketches #496 // Fusion 11.10.22

 Card #1 inspired by 1 challenge...

CAS Colours & Sketches // #496 ...A color challenge!!  Soft Succulent, Early Espresso & Old Olive are the colors called for in this week's challenge!!  A wintry masculine birthday card is my take on this challenge!

Card #2 inspired by 1 challenge...

Fusion Challenge // 11.10.22 ...A fusion challenge!! Use the photo or the sketch or fuse them together and create a FUSION!!  I used both...the houses inspired me along with the colors & the sketch was my starting point.  

Thanks to both challenge blogs for giving great inspiration for creating the needed birthday cards.  My daughter asked me to bring a stash of birthday cards for her when we visit over Thanksgiving...so birthday cards are on my radar!!
