2nd POST TODAY - MORE CHALLENGE CARDS & "STASH CRAFTING DAY"




Hello again, All:

Once a week or so, I try to create using only "Stuff in my Stash" hoping it will reduce my leftovers. Today I made these two cards using only 'my Stash' (except the white card stock used for the cards):

Challenge Card on the Bottom I used a McMahon 5 Design their new butterfly digi for- Sweet Sketch Wednesday - "Challenge #92"; CCEE Stampers - "CCEE1110 - Monochromatic [Blue] Challenge"; Crafty Creations - "Challenge #109 - Baby Blue"; and Do You Stack Up? - "DYSU#10 Layers Challenge; AllSorts Challenges - "Challenge #93 Card for a Teenager"; HotSpot Studio 313 Monthly Challenges - HSC2 Channeling Your Inner Movie Star -Halle Berry's Gowns (I chose her blue gown); Southern Girls Challenges - Use Flowers Challenges and Simply Create Challenges - "#39 - Monochromatic [I used blue].

The challenge card on top is my own digital design (if you want to see the 'whole digi' just leave me a comment and it may get to be tomorrow's Digi #80??) for - Stamping Vacation - "Sketch Therapy Monthly Challenges - March 2011 Sketch" ; Craft Us Crazy - "Challenge #3 At one With Nature"; Crafty Cardmakers - Challenge#41 Fabric [ribbon] "; Paper PlayTime - Challenge #40 Digi "Any Thing Goes"; Catch the Bug Challenges - Anything Goes and Let's Craft and Create - "St Patrick's Green Challenge.

I really enjoyed getting in an 'extra day making cards' [Don't know HOW but: House is clean, laundry ALL done, folded AND put away and still not time to cook supper--?? this doesn't happen EVER!]. Not only have I made the cards, I'm getting to upload them, too!--and Blogger seems to be behaving [a little] better today too so I can-------WOW!

Hope you're having one of 'my days' today too--aren't we blessed!

Diane
