Today begins a new challenge at...

CAS on Friday // #341 ...A "clean and simple" challenge with a theme!! The theme for this current challenge is MAKE A ROUND CARD!!  I used Spellbinders dies (circle and scallop) to make my circle card.  I stamped my tropical get away using Stampin Up's Waterfront stamp set.

Retro Rubber Challenge // #rrcb278 ...A retro challenge with a theme!!  Retro meaning that you use a stamp that is over a year old...I used Stampin Up's Waterfront that came out in 2018. And the theme for this current challenge is OFF TO THE TROPICS!!

A Cut Above // AUG2026 ...A "die cut" challenge with a theme!!  The theme for the month of August is FALL FLOWERS.  I think colored leaves are the true flowers of fall but I had a felling the design team really wants to see flowers so I added in to rows of stamped flowers even those my die cut is a leaf.

Time Out Challenges // #TOC313 ...A theme challenge!!  The theme for this current challenge is PLAYING MUSIC!!  Everyone playing music needs some sheet music (well...maybe not everyone).  This is a page out of an OLD songbook that I picked up at a yard sale...every now and then I pull it out to use on a card and today is one of those days.

The Paper Players // #PP787 ...A sketch challenge!!  This current sketch was perfect for combining this 4 challenges.  I showcased tulips & music with perfection.

As You See It // #AYSI373 ...A speed challenge with a theme!!  The theme...TULIPS!!  The speed?!? That just means that you need to make a card in under 10 minutes...my time 9:45!!  Just squeezed that one in!!

Make My Monday // #MMM278 ...A theme challenge!!  SAY IT WITH FLOWERS is the theme for this current challenge!!  How about saying "I proud of you" with a trio of tulips!!

3 challenges inspired today's card...

The Paper Players // #PP701 ...A theme challenge!!  BEACH TIME is the theme for this current challenge!!  How do you spend time at the beach??  One of my favorite things to do at the beach is walking and shelling.  I have shells all over my house!!

Time Out Challenges // #TOC269 ...A "inspired by words" challenge!!  The quote for this challenge comes from Lilly Pulitzer..."It is always summer somewhere."  The sand, the surf, the sun and lets throw in a few shells and that is summer here in Florida!!

Addicted to CAS // #264 ...A "code word" challenge!!  BEACH is the code word for this current, clean, and simple challenge!!  I cut my stencil down to just a column so that I would have lots of white space!!

A Duo of Cards

 

Card #1 inspired by 4 challenges...

Try Stampin On Tuesday // #TSOT634 ...A sketch challenge!!  TSOT always gives us an optional theme that we can incorporate into our challenge if we wish.  For this challenge that option is TREES!!  I decided a Christmas tree was perfect since we are now in December.

Just Add Ink // #JAI681 ...An inspiration challenge!!  My inspiration from the photo given...the colors, the FA LA LA, and the Christmas theme.  I love this bright non-traditional take on Christmas.

Inspire.Create.Challenge // #ICC157 ...A theme challenge!!  CHRISTMAS is the theme for this current challenge.  Very fitting since we are in the month of December.  A very bright and Merry CHRISTMAS to you!!
