The Paper Players Challenge #494

Sunshine and Rainbows!!  Here is my take on the challenge from Paper Players.  Today I am letting the sentiment and designer papers do all the talking!!  Happy Sunday!!

#bethegift challenge:   Call you Mom today or someone who has been like a mother to you.  Tell her you love her and 3 reasons why.

Hand Stamped Sentiments #340//Paper Craft Crew #370//Global Design Project #243

So....flowers//blooms//bouquets seems to be popular this week for challenges.  I created this card for the Hand Stamped Sentiments, Paper Craft Crew and Global Design Project.  All three of these challenges call for flowers.

         

#bethegift challenge:    Pick out a postcard that makes you smile and mail it to a friend near or far.

Paper Players Challenge #493

The Paper Players team has a fun tic tac toe board for us this week.  My three in a row runs down the right side...birthday//emboss//silver.  I used silver embossing powder on the bicycle and used an embossing folder for my background...both types of embossing included on this card!!  For the birthday portion, I used a cute little birthday tag as well as using a birthday embossing folder.  Got my three in a row for a winning card!!  Thanks Paper Players for the inspiration.

#bethegift challenge:   Be understanding today!  Assume the best in everyone, no matter what!!

Less Is More...One Single Layer//Dotty

One Single Layer and Dotty....that is what was called for in the Less Is More challenge.   By first look it might not seem like this is a one layer card but it is!!  The dotty starfish was cut out of the base and replaced with a brown one.  Now I have a white star fish to use on another card....maybe I'll save it and be able to use it on the next Less Is More challenge.

#bethegift challenge:  Call up a friend and invite them to share a meal with you...enjoy the gift of hospitality!

As You See It Challenge #226

Color challenge time from the As You See It team.  The color combo this time is...Lovely Lipstick, Soft Suede, Daffodil Delight, and Call Me Clover.  I decided this sweet combination would make a fun cupcake card!

#bethegift challenge:  Buy a cup of coffee for a stranger today!

Inspired By Challenge & Just Us Girls Challenge

Today's card was created for two challenges...Inspired By (photo challenge) and Just Us Girls (use two or more designer papers).


#bethegift challenge: Put in extra time today to make home extra nice for your people.

Tic Tac Toe Challenge #066 & CAS(E) this Sketch #286

Another Father's Day cards to add to my stash.   This one was inspired by the sketch challenge from CAS(E) this Sketch and the game board from the Tic Tac Toe team.  My win on the Tic Tac Toe board is the left going down...Vintage//Nature//Tan&Cream.  I love this new "birds on a wire" embossing folder that I was gifted.  It has a vintage feel to it...especially when sponged!!


#bethegift challenge:   June first...Today begins another month of #bethegift prompts.  These prompts were written several years ago by Ann Voskamp...She has such inspiring ideas.  Join me in "Being the Gift" this month.  Go grocery shopping this month with some pre-written thank you notes...slip one to the cashier and the bagger.
