Bloom...

It's Monday and I have a card for everyone.  That's amazing since I don't post on Mondays very often anymore.  However it was my baby's 19th birthday yesterday so I had to make her a card.  She tends to like the blue cards that I make, so that's what she got. lol

I have more than one pic too.  Most of the time I take way too many pics just to find one, and if I'm lucky, two pics out of the whole bunch that I actually like.  Since I had a few that turned out I figured I share them with you.  :)

I can't forget to share where I got my inspiration for this card.  I started with a sketch challenge from the Red Hot Challenge blog HERE.  Like I said on my last post I'm going to be trying to play along with that challenge more.  Let's see how many I can do in a row. ;)

I also wanted to play along with another challenge and started looking around for colors.  After I decided to use some blues I stopped by the Paper Players and saw they were doing their tic-tac-toe challenge.  I love this challenge and I already had the blue and ribbon on my card and since it was a b-day card for my daughter I was good to go! :)

I managed to quickly do the inside of the card too.  I like to add just a little something so it's not just my boring handwriting in there.

Thanks for looking and have a great day!

Happy Friday, Everyone.  Today I have a pretty clean and simple card I made for this week's Friday Mashup challenge #166 from Holly and I know exactly who I'm going to be sending this card too. :)  What does Holly have for us this week?

Create a project using "Sequins".

Create a "Hello or Hi" project.

Or Mash it Up! and create a "Hello project with Sequins".

I  have to say I loved the challenge this week, but I don't have any sequins....gasp!  Nope, I haven't bought any yet.  So I used the basic rhinestones from Stampin' Up! instead. :) 

Make sure you check out the other great cards this week HERE at the Friday Mashup.

I'm also a part of the Red Hot Stampers group and never seem to get a chance to play along with their great sketch challenges (Thanks, Rachel!), so this time I was determined I was going to do it!  I hope I get this done in time so I can post it before time runs out...I literally have minutes! lol

And the colors for my card come from this week's Color Throwdown challenge.  Love how these colors look together.

Thanks for looking and have a great day!
