Today’s challenge project is for the Global Design Project Challenge, and it is a slimline card and a sketch, #GDP394. I love this stamp set and wanted a reason to use it again. I turned the card on its side and used 3 elements in the card to fit in with the sketch.

Back again today with another challenge entry. This time the challenge is with TGIF Challenges, and it is a sketch challenge

I love using frames in my cards and die cut words, I had fun with this one. This is my entry for tgifc420.

Today I’m entering another challenge I think for the first time, Freshly Made Sketches. This week it is Sketch #585.

I planned to combine it with another challenge, a colour challenge at Global Design Project, but I missed the deadline for that one. The colours are Stampin’ Up!’s Flirty Flamingo, Coastal Cabana, and Smoky Slate. I didn’t have any Coastal Cabana card left, so I decided to use ink for my colours. So here is my card for Freshly Made Sketches FMS585.

I made this card for this challenge at Just Add Ink and the Global Design Project Challenge but unfortunately missed the deadline for that one.

I used the colours from the Global Design Challenge (Stampin’ Up!’s Flirty Flamingo, Coastal Cabana, Smoky Slate) to make my card for this sketch challenge at Just Add Ink #652.

Last week I was honoured to be chosen as the winner at Retro Rubber Challenge Blog. Not only that, they have asked me to be a Guest Designer on a future challenge. I have been making cards for nearly 25 years, so this means so much to me.

This week’s challenge is a #RRCB206 Tic Tac Toe challenge, and I have chosen the top line for my project.

The stamp sets I used are Lovely As A Tree and On Your Birthday for the greeting, two of the earliest Stampin’ Up! stamp sets I bought around 12 years ago. I used designer series paper for the background, stamped the trees from the Lovely As a Tree set, and used a brick stencil to give the impression of a building.

Today I have a card I made for the Just Add Ink Challenge ‘Moodboard’.

My favourite colour is purple so I just love this moodboard and pulled out all of my purple stamp pads! I had fun making this card, all of my favourite things are in it, purple, flowers, a frame (partially hidden) and lots of layers.

Another challenge this week with TGIF Challenges #TGIFC419. This week is a colour challenge.

I have used a new stamp set from Stampin’ Up!’s new catalogue, Lazy Days.

Back with Sketch Saturday’s sketch of the week #725 today, and a new challenge blog for me, Colorful Options and this month it is Blue.

And the Colorful Options Challenge May Moodboard ‘Blue’ :

The Sketch Saturday optional theme with this sketch was to add a floral image, so I chose to use floral papers, and added a lovely tulip.

I won the TGIF Challenge #TGIFC418. Wow! I am blown away. Thank you TGIF Challenges!

This is my winning card :
