Ways To Recycle

{If you are looking for the Flourishes Birthday post, click here}

Hi all!  I'm back today with Hannah's Ways To Use It challenge.  We are going green folks, right here in the craft room!  Hannah challenged us to recycle something onto our card.  I have to admit that I started off with my Cheerios box, but that my little Sissix die just wouldn't cut all the way through the cardboard of the cereal box.  Never mind that, I'm such a collector that I had some thinner cardboard used to separate some triplicate forms from work.  That worked magically, so I crimper the whole lot of leaves and flowers and inked them up to decorate my card!  My daughter was invited for an all day play date at her former daycare provider's house.  This worked perfectly for me as I have a ton of crafty work that I would like to get done!  If you will pardon me, I'm going to get myself a tasty beverage and head up to create!  Hope your day is fabulous!

I also played along with the Crazy 4 Challenges team with a fun bingo challenge!  I just love those bingo challenges as you can do just about anything you want with so many combinations available!

A Flourish Embossed

I'm busy today trying to play along with some great challenges.  This is my way late, Ways To Use It challenge hostessed by Teresa.  She challenged crafter's to use Versmark and I decided to do the emboss resist technique with a pale pink and purple!  This also uses the Card Patterns sketch for this week.  It's nice and simple and made such a pretty card.  Finally, this is for Flourishes Timeless Tuesday challenge to use pink, one button, ribbon and lace.  I'm heading back up to my craft room for a little more fun today, so I will keep this short.  Happy Monday!

Happy Sunny Day!

Yes, that's right!  The sun is shining and it is beautiful outside!  I will be doing some laundry and hanging it outside as soon as the hubby awakens.  He had a show last night and didn't return until very late.  That means that I had some stamping time last night and decided to play along with Lee's recipe challenge on StampTV from Friday.  It was a little bit of a bugger.  I hope I covered all elements of the challenge appropriately.  I'm just a wee bit concerned about whether I used 2 embellishments with all the rhinestones I used, but I did only use two types of rhinestones.  I also only use 3 images, but I used one of the images three times!

I hope you have a beautiful day!
