Tsuruta Designs Flashback Friday

I have to admit, I am actually not ashamed to post my first challenge card! The idea of this challenge at Tsuruta Designs was to flashback and remember the first challenge you ever did. Mine was for the EAD Color Challenge called Plum Shabby, not too long ago (June). Ever since then I have been addicted to challenges. I feel like i usually cant go without entering some challenge for every card I make! I have only been paper crafting for about 2 1/2 years and feel I am slowly finding out my style! Thanks for stopping by, and go visit the challenge and play along!

Wee Memories Challenge #23

When I saw this challenge at Wee Memories...I couldn't resist! I bought these adorable Halloween rubons at a craft sale for $1 (Cosmo Cricket) and I knew they would be perfect! Entangled in the (make believe spider web!) is an orange scalloped frame that I i snagged at Torendi (check them out....super fun stuff!) I wanted to use all three elements...scallops, string, and orange, and I think I pulled it off. My sister's favorite holiday is Halloween and I can't wait to send this to her! I hope everyone has a wonderful weekend...I know I am looking forward to yoga and crafting!

E.A.D Designs Color Challenge-September

I loved this color combo! I tried to match the peacock color as much as possible and the picture doesnt really do the color justice! The birdie and tree branch are EAD rubons, which i absolutely adore! I found the beautiful cranberry colored paper as part of a mat pack at Marshalls (Anna Griffin). I just had to incorporate my brick background stamp from Tim Holtz (I am addicted to that stamp). To all my followers...thank you for always stopping by! I think if I reach 40 followers I will give away some blog candy! Happy Tuesday!

EBTKS #22

Hair Accessories....Really....Are you serious! I had no ideas at all! I stumbled into my bathroom and attempted to rummage through all my hair accessories. And what did I find...A whole lot of rubber bands. I grabbed the most colorful ones, and sat down and stared at them for a long while! I finally came up with making a few shapes using the brads. After some debating on what to do with that, i think i went through every embellishment possible, before I found my joy ride chipboard! Finally it all came together! The picture didnt turn out as good as I had hoped, because there is a lot of glare off the chipboard! Anyways...hop on over to Everything but the Kitchen Sink and see what you can do! I dare you!

2S4Y #60

I made another card with these colors and I just couldn't stop! I wanted to challenge myself by using a unique sketch, so I chose a sketch from 2 Sketches 4 You, check them out here. I am so happy its a three day weekend...you know what that means.....3 days of crafting! Happy Labor Day weekend everyone! Enjoy yourself and relax! Thanks for taking time to stop by my blog! :)

Unscripted Sketches #71 & OTWC #23

I just adored this color combo from OTWC! I found the Martha Stewart ribbon at Marshalls...who knew that they randomly carry crafting items and for really cheap! I searched for another sketch to find something new and exciting...that's where I found Unscripted Sketches. Their design team had some really cute cards, so I figured I would join in on the fun! I flipped the sketch upside down to make it a little different! Check out both these sites and challenge yourself on this lovely Saturday afternoon!
