Crazy 4 Challenges #47

Good morning to you! It's time for another challenge over at Crazy 4 Challenges. This week we have an inspiration challenge. Here is our inspiration:



Here is my card:






This is Peace Kaylee from Some Odd Girl. I loved this image when I saw it and the idea for this card came to me immediately. I went online and printed out a peace sign, traced it on black cardstock and patterned paper, and cut it out. What do you think? I hope you like it.

Paper Romance Challenge #8

Good morning! Today we have a color challenge for you over at Paper Romance Challenges. The colors to use this week are chocolate, teal, and white. Here is the project that I prepared for today:



I must admit teal was a hard color for me to find in my paper stash so I used various blues hoping that one of them qualify as teal.. ;) So, today I made a gift set that I thought my youngest daughter could give as a gift to her little friend (who happens to love kitties). I used 2 Meljen images for this project that I picked up here. This cutie is called A Girl and Her Kitty and the image I used on my gift bag is called Free Kittens. So cute, aren't they?

Here are a few more views:









I will enter this card/gift bag at the following challenges:

Some Exciting News - C4C

Good Morning! I am so happy to be back from vacation. My family and I had a great time in Disney World. Lots of beautiful sunny (and very HOT) days! This year we stayed at the Wilderness Lodge resort which was very nice! Great atmosphere and restaurant. We loved watching the boat parade outside our room every night and we were lucky to see fireworks at the Magic Kingdom almost every night too (sometimes from our hotel room). They do an amazing fireworks show! **Reminder to myself for next time - bring sneakers, my feet were killing me from wearing the wrong shoes ;). Well, I am glad to get back to my regular routine although I miss the "magic" of being in Disney. Now, I have alot to catch up on!

I have some exciting news to share this morning, I have been asked to join the Crazy 4 Challenges DT. I'm thrilled to be able to work with this fun and talented group of ladies! So, for our challenge this week we were asked to use lots of ribbon on our card (at least 2). So here is what I came up with:



I made a stair step card using all these Magnolia images that I picked up at Magnolia-licious. What do you you think?









Recipe:

Stamps by Magnolia and Alota Rubberstamps, copic markers, papers by Basic Grey, ribbon and daisy buttons from Michaels, Cricut to cut out letters, and MS border punch.
