AND ANOTHER TWO

For today's post I have one Easter card which I made last night and one Sympathy card which I made this morning.  The Easter card uses a border punch to make the background.  I cut strips of coordinating paper and used the punch and then adhered them closely together.  I topped it off with a title sticker and a circle punch with a stamped cross.

Here it is:

I entered this in the Spring is in the Air challenge #4 at Sketches4All calling for distressing or punching.  All of my edges were distressed with ink and as I mentioned above the background is made with a border punch.

I am also entering this in the Easter challenge #84 at Sugar Creek Hollow. 

This morning I found out that an old high school classmate and former neighbor lost his Mom.  I put together this Sympathy card.  I am entering this in Word Art Wednesday Challenge # 128 Anything Goes. 

Here is my card:

I hope to complete 2 more Easter cards for my church to get mailed in the morning so I will post those tomorrow!

Thanks so much for stopping by to view my creations.  Have a great weekend, a Happy Passover and a Happy Easter.

SHARING SOME FUN FROM THE POT OF GOLD CROP!

This weekend on Colorful Creations we are having our Pot of Gold Crop.  There are lots of great challenges there and we are giving you until St. Patrick's Day, March 17th to complete them.  Please be sure to check out all the fun and games!  Here are a few things that I have done so far:

For my challenge, I wanted you to be inspried by the colors of St. Patrick's Day - mainly green and to use some shamrocks.

The next challenge I did was for Janet's challenge.  Her Challenge for the Pot of Gold Crop is a Card Challenge.

1.  You must make a greeting card.
2.  The Card must have the color GREEN on it.
3.   You must have at least 4 other colors on the card – colors of the RAINBOW (red, orange, yellow, green, blue,indigo, violet)
4. You must have bling, stickles, or glitter because… ALL THAT GLITTERS IS GOLD

I chose to create an Easter card for this one.  My gold is the embossed cross.  

Next I was on to Roulien's challenge which was to use this wonderful inspiration:

 ~  Use 3 different patterned papers on your project;

~  Use 3 different colored embellishment on your project;

~  Use something gold and green somewhere on your page;

For Anne's challenge you needed to use the word LUCK or LUCKY and I created another St. Patrick's Day card using the word LUCK.

Hopefully I will be able to work on a few more challenges later tonite!  Hope you are having an awesome weekend!

SHOW ME YOUR CHEVRONS
