New Challenges!

Surfing through blogland yesterday, I found a couple of new challenges (to me).  The first one is Retro Sketches (have to start with a layout), and one I really have been looking for, a theme challenge;  [There aren't many "themes" out there - lots of colors and sketches.] Chocolate, Coffee & Cards challenge.  (I will admit, I was drawn to this site because of the word "coffee")  Anyway, let's get on with the challenges.

Here's the sketch:
Just your basic sketch, but I got a little creative (hopefully not too much)

Over at Chocolate, Coffee & Cards challenge the theme is Feathers & Fur- you must have an animal on your card.  I was so thrilled to be able to use my new Hero Arts Feathers set!  Gosh these feathers are beautifully detailed!  I also got some Hex cutters made by Lifestyle Crafts.  [ I told you I would find some - the best part - I found them at a close out online store for $12!!  cha-ching :)]  I think I met the qualifications.  Fun couple of challenges, I'll be playing again I'm sure!
Thanks for stopping by~
