A FEW CARDS

Last night I was able to complete 3 cards for a variety of challenges.  Here they are:

First up is one that was inspired by #216 Tic Tac Toe challenge over at The Shabby Tea Room.

I chose to do the bottom horizontal row which included gingham, flowers and vintage trims. (The lace is vintage found in the attic of my last church in NJ.)

I used card sketch #5 from Scrapbook.com which I rotated 1/4 turn clockwise.

I am also entering this in Paper Shelter challenge #156 Use That Ribbon! (the center stripes are ribbon as well as the tiny roses and bows) and The Crazy Challenge #170 It's all about the Stripes!

Here is card #1-

For my second card I chose card sketch #4 from Scrapbook.com.  

I am also entering this in Try it on Tuesday Springtime theme challenge and Paper Pretties PWC308 Springtime theme challenge.

Card #2-

and last I used sketch #343 from Mojo Monday which called for a tall and skinny card, Lots of Layers for challenge #17 over at My Mum's Craft Shop, the color palette from Scrapbook.com card challenge category #1 and Anything Goes challenge #130 at Word Art Wednesday.

SPRING IS IN THE AIR!

I am NOT a winter person so I am SO looking forward to spring.  Not that this winter has been dreadful as winters go - we haven't had too much bitter cold and really no snow to speak of but...I still long for spring.  There was a quickfire challenge over at Outlaw Woman Scrapbook Emporium about spring so that got me in the mood.  Then I sat down to work on challenges and needed to do anything but a square for Kaboodle Doodles challenge #159, a circle card for Paper Pretties challenge PWC246, and Use a Mojo Monday sketch for More than Favors challenge #81 which had a round option so off I ran to create.  Here is what I came up with:

My card:

Hopefully I will sneak in one more creation tonite...maybe...still have to pick the young son up from roller skating.  But...tomorrow there will surely be more!
