Double Trouble Challenge #213

 

Here's my card for Double Trouble Challenge #213,  

3-2-1 Recipe "SomeThing AnyThing and EveryThing"

complete with  

3 Shades of Blue Cardstock

2 Happy Frogs, printed, fussy cut, and connected with foam

1 Background Embossed in a basket pattern 

 

I used the sketch from Try a Sketch on Tuesday Challenge # 692

(but I can't seem to use their link again.

Any suggestions? )

Yahoo!  It finally posted!  Thanks, Sue! 

 

 

 The 2 striped pieces of patterned paper that I used on my card are leftover scraps from making these little Easter baskets for my Red Hat lunch today.  

 

 Good food, good friends, and chocolate!

Stay Pawsitive

Using a stamp from AI (Art Impressions),  this card is meant for a dear friend who is rehabbing from her second stroke. 

 

I am entering Challenge #176 at Lost Coast Design.

The theme is Cats. 

LCD is one of the many sponsors of the Christmas Kickstart Challenge. 

 

Additionally, I am entering the Crazy for Cats Challenge # 12 where Anything CAT goes. 

 

Tuesday Morning Sketches Challenge #702 (Second Week)

 If you stopped by to see this week's sketch, we have a surprise for you.  Last week and this week we are partnering with the

Double Trouble Challenge. 

This is the Tuesday Morning Sketch:

 

You may play in the Tuesday Morning Sketch Challenge, as usual, and enter your card here. 

However, for some extra fun, you can also follow the themes at the Double Trouble Challenge and also enter your card there.

Plus, you have 2 weeks to play and may enter up to 3 cards.

 

This is a super easy sketch.   In fact, so easy I made another card using the sketch and the rainbow theme at Double Trouble Challenge.

 And then I made 2 more cards using up scraps.

Paper is from SU; the boot /sentiment stamp is from Great Impressions; and the grass and tulip dies are from Lawn Fawn.

Have fun!

Double Trouble Challenge # 74

This afternoon I spent busily working on 4 quilts so I'd have something to enter in the current Double Trouble Challenge.  

The theme is "Cuddle Up Day".  

Papers are from CTMH.

Inside sentiment
 

I used my cuttlebug to cut the quilt die pieces, the stitched circle die, and the inside sentiment.  The kitty is a digital stamp, that I know is in the wrong digi folder on my new computer, but I have no idea where it should be.  Sorry.

The inside die is from Creative Expressions.

Challenges:

Double Trouble Challenge #74 - Cuttlebug, something warm, cuddly critter; Dies R Us Challenge #160 - AG with dies (I used one from Creative Expressions.); Funky Junkie Challenge - Put in a Good Word; Show Us Your Pussycats Challenge #62 - AG with a cat; Try It On Tuesday Challenge - Use an Uplifting or Positive Quote

 

 

Girls Play Video Games Too

 Just a quick post to share a card I am entering in the My Favorite Things Wednesday Sketch Challenge #514.

 

The sentiment is from MFT Level Up stamp set and the die cut game controller is also from MFT.  The little controller is so cute, but the larger one that comes with it is so much easier to put together.
I've used some pretty plaid paper from MFT, too.

 

A few more challenges I am entering:  Aud Sentiments Challenge #263 - AG with a sentiment; Fab n Funky Challenge #501 - Anything but Christmas; Allsorts Challenge week #596 - For Children or Teens;

 

Tuesday Morning Sketch Challenge #557

Welcome to my blog.
It's Tuesday and I have a new card for

Tuesday Morning Sketches to share with you.

Melissa Craig supplied this week's sketch.  Thanks, Melissa!

 

This is what I did with this fun sketch.

 I am giving myself a pat on the back for fussy cutting these little critters including the three legged, three toed reptile.  And, NO, I did not amputate any digits or appendages while cutting.  
Although, I may have trimmed a few cactus thorns.

Will you play along with us at

I've joined the wonderful Design Team at

Tuesday Morning Sketches. 

Every Tuesday I'll be sharing a card based on the sketch for that week and hoping it will inspire you to join the fun at 
Tuesday Morning Sketches.

Here is my first contribution:

I've used a new digital stamp set,
In This Together, from Sweet 'n Sassy Stamps 
for the image and sentiment. 
The image was colored with pencils and and then fussycut. The paper was a freebie from Cardmaking and Papercraft magazine.

And here is today's Tuesday Morning Sketch:

My teammates have also made wonderful creations 
to help inspire you.

 I hope you'll join the fun this week.

Have you seen the new CTMH Seasonal Expressions Catalog?

Hop along with us to see some awesome projects using the new products.

I decided to use the papers and one of the Picture My Life cards from the new Gimme Some Sugar Paper Pack to make a card for this month's hop.

 And then I used some scraps to put together a masculine birthday card, too.

 

Now, since this is a blog hop,

you might have arrived here from  Krista Hershberger's blog.

Your next stop is Andrea Sherman's blog.   

The hop is circular.  

If you are just starting here, simply continue hopping until you find your way back, making the full circle.  

If you get lost, the complete list of participants is on Joyce's blog.
