Found 3 Challenge Sites

So, yep, I'm back. [The SCS Color Challenge post is HERE] I went to my new BFF, Paper Playful, and found 3 challenges that inspired me!

I started with a sketch from Tuesday Mornings #692 - (it is fabulous!)  I was inspired from Hand Stamped Sentiments Inspiration #406; graphic, and lastly, Try Stampin' on Tuesday #591; Layering Technique

I'll start with my card;

 
Here is the sketch.  (I am in love with the staples!)
 
Here is my inspiration graphic - red and hearts


I love the clean and simple look of my card.  I let the sketch speak for itself by just adding a fun dimensional heart, and a clean sentiment.  Again, though, THE STAPLES!  I love staples on cards. The layering works beautifully too. - Total win with all these challenges!
 
Thanks Challenges -


Thanks for stopping by~
