It is time to start working on my Father's Day stash!!  So....today I am using the sketch challenge from Freshly Made Sketches to get started!!   Yesterday's designer papers that I used are just so perfect for masculine cards....that distressed look gives such a masculine feel!!

Fab Friday Challenge #189 & Color Throwdown Challenge #593



One card...Three challenges!  My inspiration for this card came from the Fab Friday sketch challenge and the Color Throwdown challenge.  This color combo this week was blue, yellow, and pink.   The third element of inspiration came from the Cardz 4 Guyz challenge...Vintage!!  These designer papers definitely have a vintage feel.  I love the vintage theme for masculine cards...but then I went and added two pink bows...that might just disqualify it as a masculine card?!?  What do you think??  I can't believe it is Sunday already...this weekend flew by with not enough hours for me!!

Hand Stamped Sentiments Challenge #339

Today I am playing along with the color challenge from the Hand Stamped Sentiments challenge.  Their color combo is...Rococo Rose//Seaside Spray//Mint Macaron.  I decided to use Stampin Up's Above the Clouds stamp set and matching punch to create my card.  The grassy fore ground was created with the grass stamp from Stampin Up's High Tide stamp set...it creates the perfect meadow!!

#bethegift challenge:  Knock on someone's door today...don't have an agenda...just love large!!

Global Design Project # 240

Graduates of 2020 are having to miss out on so much due to Covid-19!!  Don't forget them this year!!  Yesterday I got to hug a sweet graduate after she walked across the stage of a gym with empty chairs...actually not completely empty cause each chair had a picture of her fellow classmates!!  Today's card was created for her!!  I was inspired by the Global Design Project's challenge.   This week's challenge (#GDP240) was to CASE (Copy And Selectively Edit) a card created by one of their designers, Kerstin Kreis.  The ticket on my card was stamped using a retired set from Stampin Up.  All the other images were stickers I had left in my stash from my scrapbooking days.  Finished off my card with some squins and some ribbon.

#bethegift challenge:   Connect with one person today who is really different from you.  Ask them how they are doing...really listen!!

Inspired By Challenge #123 & Just Us Girls Challenge #535 & Paper Players Challenge #490



This cute little card was inspired by 3 different challenges.  The "hangy down" flowers and sketch from the Inspired By challenges.  The color combo (Melon Mambo, Granny Apple Green, Pool Party) from the Paper Players challenge.  The mini flowers and ultra mini pearls from the MINI challenge from Just Us Girls.  I had to add a close up picture as well so you could see the ultra mini pearls...so mini you can't see them in the photo of the card.







#bethegift challenge:  Spend 3 minutes today praying for a forgiving heart in relationship that has caused you pain.
