Chocolate Daisies - 4 in 1

Today's card is one I made for a few different challenges. Since I started working outside of the house I don't get as much time to stamp as I would like, so I've had to combine a couple of challenges that I like to do into one card. First challenge comes from the girls over at the OCC, the challenge was to use bling on your project. Bling you say?, I can do that! The next challenge was from the gals over at CCEE Stampers, their challenge was to make your own DSP. No problem in that challenge either, I LOVE my background stamps and of course my Cuttlebug! Last week's 'Ways to use it' Challenge 186 over at SCS was to use a quote, I love this quote from the 'Inspired by Nature' set. And finally, I am always looking for an opportunity to use up some of my scraps and I was able to use a few on this card, thus my 'Go Green' Challenge! Whew, 4 challenges in one!

Another Go Green Challenge Card

Sorry I've been so quite lately! I can't believe how busy life has been. My oldest graduated, my daughter has been busy playing hockey, and we have been planning our family trip out to Lake Placid New York. Whew!!!! I feel like my head is spinning!

This week's 'Be Inspired Challenge' piece is this dress by J.C. Crew. I decided the colors and the scallops in this dress were going to be my starting point. When I started this card I never thought I would be combining three challenges, but that is exactly what happened!

I couldn't believe it when I pulled out my scrap stash and found everything I needed to complete this card (Go Green Challenge). Talk about easy peasy! I also used Beate's weekend sketch challenge #49.

Go Green Challenge - #2

I'm a day late with this week's go green challenge, but it's better to be late than never right? This week I dug out a pre-stamped image of one of my favorite retired stamp sets 'Sassy Stems'. This was a quick card to complete as I only had to watercolor the image, stamp the polka dots on a scrap of Tempting Turquoise, stamp and punch out the saying and add a few brads.

Let's see what you can create with the scraps that you have just laying around. Remember, don't cut into anything new if you don't have too!!!
