Hope you enjoyed the cards. See ya in the morning for the Three Clover's Thursday challenge.

One is late and one is early and one is on time.

This has been a fabulous week at VBS but it has really cut into stampin time, lol. I am certainly not complaining though, you have to experience it to know how wonderful it is to work with over 200 children sharing the love of God. Incredible. I teach music and let me tell you these guys are ROCKIN God's House! Too fun.

So my Whachadoin' Wednesday challenge should have been posted this morning but I honestly forgot, so now it is late. The good news is that it is the same theme as the Three Clover's Thursday Challenge so I can use it for both, one late and one on time! The theme for the week on both challenges was--super summery cards.

And then I decided to use the new sketch on the CPS blog. It's a fun one.


Come on and join me by playing at least one of these challenges--or why not all three? Here is my card.




Stamps: Get your Goggles On (SUINK)
Paper: Scrap in a Snap DP Tempting Turquoise, Whisper White and Basic Black
Ink: Basic Black
Other: flowers, ribbon copics brads, embossing folder

Mary Jo (I have no idea why I can not get the underlining to turn off. So I am just going to leave it. Hope you don't mind too much.

Another Triple Challenge Card

I have been missing so many challenges that I love lately so I decided to try to get back on track and I was able to combine three in one on this card. Be kind this is my very first time quilling. It was fun but not sure about the outcome. I obviously need a bit of practice, lol.

The three challenges are

The first on is from the Color Throwdown Blog
The second challenge was a sketch challenge from CPS Card Sketches.



And the third challenge was the Technique Lovers Challenge #231 to use quilling on your card.

So this is my combined effort.
