Fun Challenges

I have a list of challenges that I want to join in this month.  I have decided I really like the monthly challenges -- they give me enough time to play along!

I joined into a new challenge with this card; Pinterest Inspired Challenge #1.  This is going to be a great challenge -- I adore Pinterest, and we all know what fabulous inspiration there is on that site.  I also liked the Happy Little Stampers Sketch for this month, which in turn lead me to the Addicted to CAS Challenge #69; banners.

I used the newly released STAMPlorations Dee's Balloons & Banners.  
[What a fun set this is!  All kinds of fun images~]



I went on to play in the Sparkle & Shine #11, a photo inspiration.

I used another newly released STAMPlorations set; Dee's Frames & Flowers
[This is another fabulous set with a lot of images!]


I had a great time today.  So much fun when cards come together!  Thanks challenges~


Thanks for stopping by~

Super cute, bright and bold banner card, Vicki! I really enjoy your style. I agree with you, I like the longer challenges too. Gives me time to ruminate over ideas. ;) Thanks for playing along at HLS's Sketch Challenge this month! Melissa - DT
