Not One But Two

It is ages since I posted and such a long time since I did a Challenge. Apologies, but I have been so ill. What a way to spend my time in America, sitting in a chair or in bed trying to feel better with endless medications.

Anyway, today is the first day I have felt like doing anything so here is my card for the Lots to Do Challenge - using inchies - at least I hope it counts because each square cut out was one inch but they do not have any stamping on them.

When I first got to Mary's she had some of these cards down in her stamping room so I wanted to know how to do them. It took me almost three weeks to get one done - and I much prefer the ones she did as the colours are more subtle/pastel. Kind of like one of those patchwork blankets don't you think?

I also do not like missing the Challenge on Ready Steady Stamp so this morning I set to and made a Christmas card using the required things: - lilac cardstock for my main card, lilac cardstock for my skinny, edged in black, silver tree stamped on my skinny and also silver snowflakes on my main card. The letter "C" is cut out on the Cricut using my new cartridge "Storybook" and painted with Ranger's Crackle paint in black, and the lilac square underneath is also painted in Crackle Paint. I think that is all the criteria covered.

We fly back home next Tuesday so hopefully I will be back in harness with the Challenges next time.
