Today's Challenge cards!!

  Good Morning and Happy Saturday to all my wonderful craft friends.  How are you all doing? I am doing pretty well, despite the heatwave.  Thankfully my Fibro is actually a bit better and so nice to actually feel pretty pretty good...it also makes me happier and feel more upbeat! --  Woohoo!  It's been so nice to spend a lot more time crafting and working on challenges, my favorite thing.

    My first card is another card I made after being inspired by this week's challenge over The Cuttlebug Spot, it's not being entered, since I already entered a card, but I really love this whole idea and made this card to add to my OWH box. 

   This was the first one....

and this is my newest card

   I just love the look and know it'll be an idea I use often.  I have a bunch of 2" X 2" squares all ready cut and embossed and will all make all kinds of other designs and colors.  I had not used those mini folders in ages, but I will now!!

   My second card was created for two different challenges and this card was created with another won of the wonderful Lollipop Digi Images designed by Lori Boyd.  I just LOVE them and added two new ones to my collection earlier this. week.  If you would like to have them for your collection, then hope on over to DCRU and add them to you basket.  And while you are there, be sure to check out the  'Getting Ready for CHA Sale'.   My card was actually created for their new challenge, which you can find at here at the Claudia & Co.   It was also created for this week's challenge over at 'The Pink Elephant', which is Lori Boyd's Challenge blog.

 

  The challenge at Claudia & Co is to create a card using Pink and Aqua, the store colors and two of my favorite colors.  And, the challenge at The Pink Elephant is a recipe challenge - 3 Layers, 2 Die Cuts and Ribbon.  I created my card to work out perfectly for both challenges, with the adorable 'Gracie' digi image, designed by Lori and available for sale at DCRU.  She is such a cutie and always makes any card seem happy and fun.  That's also one of the reason why  I love Lori's images so much -- they always make me smile!!

    And now I'm off in search of another FUN challenge.  Have you been creating any FUN Challenge cards today?  Do you know of any new challenges that I would like?  If you do, please leave me a comment, so I can check it out!  Thanks!  

    Hugs and Happy Crating,
