Send A Smile 4 Kids - Tweens & Teens

This month's challenge at SAS4Kids focuses on tweens and teens, who are often forgotten.

Echo Park papers, Simon Says sentiment.  I made the enamel dots with perler beads, melted in the oven on parchment paper.  I made about about 1000 dots in 24 different colors for about $3.  No black or brown, somehow they didn't turn out as nice as the other colors.  Come join our challenge and create a card for a teenager!

Black, Red, and White Challenge

 Shopping Our Stash has a Black, Red, and White challenge.  The really cool inspiration cards were mostly Christmas-themed.  Like Maria from SOS, I am long past Christmas cards, and have moved on to Valentine cards.  

The pattern papers are from Carta Bella Words of Love pad, sketch is sort of Mojo Monday 460, sentiment from Simon Says.  The perfectly coordinating die cut heart is from the In Love Arts Multiple Heart Décor dies.  When I have a die set that includes a lot of small pieces, I often leave them connected.  Great variety in this set!

SOS - UFOs

Shopping Our Stash is a challenge meant to encourage using up what is in our stockpile.  The prompt to create something out of a UFO (Unfinished Object).  Great push to thin out an overflowing basket.  

I included a picture of what I pulled out of the basket.  I think I set it aside because I could see a few glue spots.  I need to be less critical of my work - no one looks as closely as I do!!!  Amy Butler paper, Simon Says sentiment, SU ribbons.  I made another 6 cards using UFOs I found in my basket!!  

Sunshine or Sunburst?!?

The Paper Players has a Sunshine & Rainbows challenge.  Maybe not sunshine, but a sunburst:

Bazzill paper scraps, Simon Says and old Fiskars sentiments. 

Not exactly sunshine, but will a sunburst work?!?
