Two projects, several challenges!

 For my Friends That Scrap Wk. 10 Challenge, I did the following layout. We were given a sketch and we had to choose one of the following: tearing, chalking, stamping, misting; and 3 from the following list: 5+ buttons, 8+ pattern paper, bling, glitter, 5+ eyelets, rub-ons. On this layout, I misted the two frames and also the flowers. Then I used 5+ buttons, 8+ pattern paper and rub-ons. The family pictured are part of our extended family.

I'm also entering this layout in The Pink Elephant's challenge for this week - a layout featuring something that makes you  happy.

The card I made used the sketch provided  and from these techniques - stamping, coloring, stitching - I chose coloring. We also had to choose two from the following list: 3+ pattern paper, 3+ flowers, an animal, glitter/bling, ribbon/twine. I used coloring, 3+ pattern paper and an animal. I also entered this card in Stampin' Sister's in Christ challenge to make a Christmas card. I'm sad to see that blog go dormant for a time - I've just started participating in their challenges and enjoying their inspiration. But I certainly understand, and feel that when God closes a door, we must be obedient to that. Family is more important than any hobby that we may have! So this will be their last challenge.

Thanks for looking at my creations!
