Although I used the colors from Challenge 138 over at ColorQ, I missed their deadline. I used the sketch from Mojo Monday (which I rarely do - I find their sketches difficult to mesh with my style sometimes). I think I was finally able to pull one off. :) My card is a 5" square.

Supplies:

Stamp Set: Afterthoughts, Circle Circus

Ink: Crumb Cake

Paper: Very Vanilla, Pocketful of Posies, Pool Party, Crumb Cake

Embellishments: Designer Buttons Regals More Mustard, crochet thread

Tools: 3/4" Circle punch, 1 3/4" Circle punch, Larger Scallop Circle punch, Scallop Border punch, Big Shot, Flower Garden EF

Hopefully, I can manage to continue to carve out time for my favorite hobby!! I hopped around my favorite Challenge Blogs and found a sketch over at Stampin 411.  Here is the card I made for the challenge:

Supplies:

Stamp Set: Fabulous Florets

Ink: Basic Gray, Wisteria Wonder, Lucky LimeAde

Paper: Wisteria Wonder, Basic Gray, Tempting Turquoise, Whisper White

Embellishments: Tempting Turquoise Brads, Designer Buttons Brights (I used an Old Olive!), crochet thread, Lucky LimeAde ribbon from SAB pack

I squeaked out this card a coule of weeks ago to give as a Thank You for a guy.

And this one I made yesterday for a friend who ordered a pack of 12 cards from me - I had 11 sitting in a box, but just needed one more. :)

 The "buttons" on the bottom are layered 3/4" and 1" circles with holes punched in them and a thin brushing of Crystal Effects.
