Getting back to it!!

Challenges that is.

It's been a while since I checked

my challenge threads everyday!!

So today I thought I'd go

through them and see what was up.

Here are a few that I decided to do!!

Of course my most favorite has to be first!!

Stampin' Sisters in Christ

Amazing message posted there again this week!!

Please stop by and read it!!

We are to use solid color paper and build on that.

So....I started with a plain white card.

Embossed it in my sizzix embosser.

Then I used tiger lily orange and

sunshine yellow glimmer mists to create

the front of the card.

I used an image from Far Far Hill.

I made the pansy, by starting with white paper,

and using watercolors to color it

before putting it together.



Because I love butterflies,

Flutter by Wednesdays

is also a favorite of mine.

This is also for Dutch Dare-a card for mom.

Paper is Paper Studio, Kaisercraft and Bazzill.

The image is from Far Far Hill.

Butterflies are a Fiskers punch.

For Paper Cupcakes-birthday.

Paper is K&Company.

Border punch is Martha Stewart.

And lastly,

I Did It-Mother's Day.

Paper is paper company and DCWV.

Image is from Far Far Hill.

These cards look a little plain,

but that is because they are for

the soldiers and can't be lumpy.

Thanks so much for stopping by!!

Until next time............tootles!!

Stampin' Sisters in Christ

Love them!!

The ladies there make the most

wonderful, thought provoking posts!!

I look forward to their challenge

every week!!

I just had to jump back in on the

challenge this week.

We are to make a circle card!!

Paper is DCWV and Bazzill.

Punches were MS and Fiskers.

Used my cricut to cut the white circle.

The sentiment is from Netty's Card Blogspot.

I hope you will pop over to

Stampin' Sisters in Christ

tomorrow and check out their new challenge!!

Thanks so much for stopping by!!
Until next time..............tootles!!
