Look -- I made some cards!! :)

Happy Saturday --

I hope you all had a great week -- mine was BUSY!!!!
Family was in town and my son started his ALL day Pre-Kindergarten Summer School. He LOVES it so much! I emailed his teacher to see how he did the first couple of days and she told me that Brandon was a "GREAT kid, but that he does love to talk A LOT. " LOL
Yep -- that's my boy!!!
I'm so happy he loves school, that makes my heart sing!!! :)

Well -- I managed to get FOUR cards made. WOW -- that's really good for me.

My first card is for Mojo Monday -- Love the sketch so much! :)


Here is my card:



Recipe:

Paper - -3 Bugs-Snips & Snails, PTI - Cardstock
Stamp -- The Greeting Farm - Surfer Ian, PTI - Star Prints
Ink -- Copics, PTI -Chocolate Brown
Accessories -- Brown Ribbon, Stampin Up - Circle & Floral Punch, PTI -buttons & twine, Nestabilities

The second card is for The Pink Elephant. This week it is a Recipe Challenge to use 1 Sentiment, 2 Layers, and 3 buttons.

I really don't know how to count layers -- I used the "base" as one layer and then I added one more -- I hope that's OK.

Here is my card-- very clean and simple!!

Stamp -- Our Daily Bread - Verses
Ink -- PTI - Chocolate Brown
Accessories -- PTI - Aqua Mist Ribbon, PTI - Buttons & twine, Cuttlebug Dots Embossing Folder

My third card is for The Color Throwdown -- Here are the colors:



My colors are lighter in shade than what was suggested for the challenge--





Recipe:

Paper -- SU - Simply Scrappin Love Stories
Stamp - Our Daily Bread - Verses
Ink -- PTI - Chocolate Brown
Accessories -- SU - Love Stories, PTI - button, ribbon & twine

Finally -- my last card is for Ashley's Etsy Challenge -- I love this week Etsy Store -- such CUTE stuff!!!

I chose this very cute bow to use as my inspiration. I just LOVE the pink & brown color!



Here is my card:

Your cards are beautiful. I don't know if anyone has mentioned this, but the base is one layer, the dp is your next layer, and you can even count your ribbon and button as a 3rd layer!

I love all four cards but like Max the sentiment in the last one is just fantastic.

and believe it or not that card fits our new challenge at the Pink Elephant which is to use the colours Pink Brown and White. Spooky eh you've covered both week's challenges in one posting.
