Playing on Friday

So, today was an open day on the ole blog and I am taking advantage and playing in some challenges that interested me.

I am starting with Colour Me #24 - I really liked the colors this week, and they worked quite well with Freshly Made Sketches #140.  I was also able to use my brand new Clearly Besotted stamp set that I finally purchased, [Diagonal Stripes] which enabled me to play in Stephanie's Clearly Besotted Challenge #12, anything goes and enter again into Darnell's NBUS Challenge #1 too.  Cha ching - hit a few with one card!



I also went on to play in the Pals Paper Arts #207; red, white & blue, along with Card Concept #12; nautical.

I used Inspired By Stamping Masculine Tags and Background Basics, Clearly Besotted Diagonal Stripes and the anchor from Heartfelt Creations Seascape.

Gosh, I am so glad it is Friday - what a week.


Thanks for stopping by~
