I Get To Play!

I have been busy scheduling out my blog and  I was able to find an open day!  So, I jumped on my computer and went looking for some challenge~ Oh happy days I found some of my favorite  challenges:
Let's start with my card




I started with the sketch from Deconstructed Sketch #33 and used the beautiful colors from Playdate Cafe 113; juniper, mint and vanilla.  Ribbon Carousel is anything as long as you have a ribbon.  I used Gina K Designs All Occasions Tags.







Again,with this card, I started from Freshly Made Sketch 16, and used the gorgeous colors from Pals Paper Arts 126; night of navy, baja breeze and vanilla.  For this card I used Gina K Designs Follow Your Dreams, along with my favorite butterfly dies from Cheery Lynn.


 Well, I certainly had fun playing today!  I am so thankful for the fun challenges out there in blogland!  It just makes it so fun to make cards~ :)
Thanks for stopping by~
