Today I embarked on my first attempt at challenge cards. In fact, completing some card challenges is part of my monthly goal. This card came from my combining CASology W102: Float and Freshly Made Sketch 143.

I wanted to keep this card very clean and muted but with some interesting pieces. I love how it turned out. I stamped the Up, Up, and Away balloon multiple times and then die cut the piece. From there, I chose a few coordinating scraps from the blue scrap bag and started layered. I had to play a bit with the lengths to find what works. Overall, a cool and calm card.

I finally made it to one of our Meetup group's crop nights. I've been trying for almost two months. And it was so much fun! We got together to work on our own projects with some great ladies. We even got to create a make and take Halloween card. Very adorable! The card used SU's Pumpkin Pie ink that I've been contemplating buying for Arthur's thank you and arrival cards. After using it, I am convinced that it's the perfect color. Now I have to revise my stamp club order.

These are the other cards I created on Wednesday night. The first two are my stamp club homework. I flipped the sketch for the second card. I really love how it turned out.

The other three cards are just some fun cards I whipped up using scraps from my giant scrap box. I think the polka dots one is my favorite. It's clean and simple, but oh so pretty!
