Hello friends and followers - happy last day of September, 2013. Wow - time flies right on by - sometimes so fast I can't hardly remember which day it is :o) That, I'm told is a sign of old age - but I refuse to accept that. Our challenge this week at ABC Challenges is to make a card using 3 or More DSP (designer or patterned papers). I've used 4 DSP patterns. Here's what I came up with to share with and inspire you:
Still having fun with my new Envelope Punch (Stampin Up!) to make coordinating envelopes for my cards. I got my order of new papers in the mail on Saturday so I couldn't wait to use them for this challenge. This paper is called "Sweater Weather" (SU) - how perfect is that for Fall? I'm so cold all the time that sweater weather for me starts rather early (sometimes late August - definitely early September) and sometimes lasts into June. I found this die cut in my Stash pile - I remember buying it years ago for a scrapbook page layout on Thanksgiving that still hasn't come to pass, so I thought I'd use it for this card. Honestly, I can't remember what the idea what that I had in mind at the time - and I'm not sure when I'm going to get back to scrapbooking much. I'm rather tickled with how it turned out! The overall size is 5 1/2" square.
I'm also entering my card this week in the Freshly Made Sketches Challenge #105 since I used their great sketch for my inspiration and design. As you can see I substituted a circle for the middle square.
The other lovely ladies over at ABC Challenges have also made some terrific cards to share with you this week. I sure hope that you will go visit them and say "Hi" and that you will decide to join our challenge this week. I feel very grateful to be part of such a wonderful team and to get the opportunity to visit each of your blogs each week to leave notes and get more inspiration.
Thanks for continuing to support us at ABC Challenges! Til next time dear friends and followers...hugs and happy crafting! D
