Happy Friday!!

 Card #1 was inspired by 3 challenges...

Try Stampin On Tuesday // #TSOT563 ...A sketch challenge!!  Wanna make it interesting? Then and use their optional element...trio of texture.  I did...each panel was embossed using Stampin Up's Seabed folder.  

Global Design Project // #GDP351 ...A theme challenge!!  The theme for this challenge is SHAPE!!  I used rectangles...4 of them!!  Oh, and I also used a duo of stars!! 

INKspirational Challenges // #269  ...A monochromatic challenge!!  Pick your favorite color and create a monochromatic card.  Blue is one of my favorite colors...so you get 4 shades of blue!!

Card #2 was inspired by 1 challenge...

Atlantic Hearts Sketch // #481 ...A sketch challenge!!  This sketch was perfect for the peek-a-boo wreath die from Stampin Up's Bird & Branches bundle.  The two birds from this set make the cutest love birds since they face each other...perfect for an anniversary card.

CAS Colours & Sketches Challenge #398 & Freshly Made Sketches Challenge #463

Two cards...Two sketch challenges... 

Here is my take on the Freshly Made Sketches Challenge #463

Basic stamping using Stampin Up's Sailing Home bundle. The background was embossed using their Seabed folder...I love this 3d folder!!

This second card was created for the CAS Colours & Sketches challenge #398  This week they have a sketch challenge for us.  Since I have been kinda busy with Thanksgiving I kept this card very simple!!

#bethegift challenge:  Email a former school teacher and thank them for the impact that they had on your life.
