More Inspiring Challenges

I got the Paper Players #694 challenge in, and the timing [unfortunately] was rather perfect.  My friend's mom recently passed away, and I needed a sympathy card, quickly.  Hence the challenge - CAS with sympathy is what I needed.

I used an older cloud template from MFT, and a silhouette floral image. Both worked perfectly for a lovely sympathy card.

My friend appreciated the card.  My heart hurts for her - her mom was her best friend. 💓

Thanks Paper Players - your timing was perfect.

======================

This next one is off the wall for me!  The Scrapbooker Magazine is sponsoring a (2) $500 Winner prize for creations made with Tim Holtz products.  I made this tag using his distress inks.  I did try to upload it, but did not have success.  I still thought I would share with you all.

Miscellaneous products were used - not all Tim Holtz - but I loved this end result.  It's just so Summer!

I'll try again for the uploading - fingers crossed.  Unlimited uploading of projects too. I doubt I will make more, but this tag was fun.

Thanks for stopping by~

I'm sorry that our challenge turned out to be a timely one for you Vicki, however you created the most beautiful CAS card as a result. The black border highlights the silhouette perfectly and the stencilling is gorgeous. Love that fun tag too! Thanks for sharing with us over at The Paper Players this week!

Your sympathy card is just stunning. The shading behind the silhouette flowers is just perfect for such an occasion. Very nicely done! And the flip flop tag is adorable! So cute! Maybe you could try to upload it again! Thanks so much for participating in my CAS challenge this week at the Players!

Wow, two beautiful projects. So sorry to hear about your friend's mother. It's so hard. But your card is absolutely gorgeous. And if I were on the voting board for the challenge using Tim's products, I'd hands-down vote for your tag! What a fun creation!
