Double Trouble Challenge #144 - YouNique Technique

Today I have a card made specifically for the Double Trouble Challenge #114. I bet the gals there been wondering where I've been. It's one of my favorite challenges. And usually, when I haven't played in a week or two, one of their dt members sends out a search party.

Here's my entry:

(The fussy cut Panda stamp is from SU; the Hooray die is from Honey Bee; the circle embossing folder is from Spellbinders.)

In keeping with this week's theme,

I made my background using circle stencils, ink and daubers to create the 3 circle pattern from Atlantic Hearts Sketch Challenge

and then dry embossing it with another circle pattern. I even used tiny circle stencils on the balloon.

I hope you'll come back tomorrow to see the 2 Christmas cards I made for Send A Smile 4 Kids. The card I made today will go in the box for SAS4K since it is kid friendly and can be used for multiple occasions. When my grandson was in Children's Hospital several years ago, he couldn't come home until he learned how to swallow pills to continue on with the antibiotic he needed. The day he managed to get his first pill swallowed, was definitely a Hooray! kind of day.

Thanks so much for dropping by!

MFT Wednesday Sketch

While sorting through a stash of paper, I found this scrap of cute pachaderm patterned paper. Not knowing where to file it for later use, I just made a card for my SAS4K box.

I followed this week's My Favorite Things Sketch.

The stamp and dies I used are from MFT.

Additional challenges I am entering:

Fab n Funky Challenge #497 - Birthday; Seize the Birthday Challenge #201 - Birthday, option/scraps; Cute Card Thursday Challenge # 655 - Dies & Punches;

Baseball Card

It's that time of year.

We spend a lot of time going to my grandson's baseball games, and as far as we are concerned, he is always a winner!

But this card won't go to our grandson. Yesterday I packed up a box of cards to mail off to SAS4K. This card will start a new box and eventually will go to a child in one of the children's hospitals that SAS4K supports.

I've used a House Mouse stamp and paper pieced the image, the "Hooray" is a 2 pieced Honey Bee Die, and the stitch frame is a My Favorite Things Die.

Double Trouble Challenge #25 Card 2 & Mojo Monday #513

The last time I made a card for Mojo Monday was June 5, 2017. That was sketch #500. Apparently, Julee Tilman has resumed designing her wonderful sketches and is sharing them every other week on her Poetic Artistry blog. Looks like I've missed 12 sketches, so I have some catching up to do. But, I've never seen a Julee Tilman sketch I didn't like and couldn't wait to try.

Today I've used Mojo Monday Sketch #513 as my inspiration for my second Double Trouble Challenge card.

I had stamped, colored and die cut a little owl to use on this card, but it was too big. Instead I just fussy cut one from the dp and popped it right over an owl which had been decapitated when I sized the paper.

That was the start of my second card of the day.

(I'm really supposed to be working on my income tax forms.)

I was going to follow the Mojo Monday Sketch for this card, too. But I didn't want to cover up the cute little fence with the rectangular layer. I made the layer. And then just decided not to use it.....on this card.

I used it on this card, instead.
