Just a few challenges:

• BYSHC Christmas In July Linky Party
• A Perfect Time To Craft - #7 Anything Goes
• Classic Design Challenge - Anything Goes

**STASHBUSTERS IG HOP** Week Eight - Card Three

Welcome to the Stashbusters 2024 Paper Crafting Hop hosted by @armenscraftroom, @avedamontedesigns, @bkeeleycrafts, @hilarygreek, @createwithkas and @touchofmagik.  Stashbusters post 3-6 creative paper projects every other Tuesday.  Our goal is to use the items we already own to create between 81-162 projects in 2024.

This week our challenge was to use any card sketch to make cards with a Graduation or Celebration theme!  I think that love is something we should always celebrate!!

Normally I put all my cards in one post but I’m changing things up.  I used the current month's sketches at Sweet Sketch Wednesday and this is their retro sketch #155.

Just a few challenges for this card:

• A Perfect Time To Craft - #4 Anything Goes
• Unicorn Challenge - #97 Use Dies
• Digi Chooseday - #14 Anything Goes 1/2
• Creative Fingers - #275 Anything Goes 2/3
• Sweet Sketch Wednesday - Retro Sketch #155 3/3

Thanks so much for looking and happy hopping!  Laters!!

31 Days of Crafting - Day Eighteen - Be Fearless

I don't really like CAS cards.  I don't honestly really even like this card, and I'm the one who made it.  But here it is anyway.  I'm not really inspired today at all, can you tell??  (I'll be honest again, I almost entitled this post, Spring?  Bitch, please.  So yeah, mojo went on vacay today.)

Honestly, I'm not crazy happy with this card.  I didn't adhere the background on straight and I couldn't remove it without destroying the background and I didn't have another card with me (the perils of crafting away from home!!) to slice the front off and reattach it to.  So, crooked it is.  Sigh.

Create It 3 Ways Instagram Hop!

Hi everyone!  I’m participating in an Instagram hop today called Create It 3 Ways!  Hosted by the lovely @amritapettus, this fun hop will take place the third Saturday of every month!  Super fun.  Our first theme is Father's Day/Masculine and I chose to use this amazing Erin Lee Creative cover plate for my cards!

Each of the cards has a different theme while using something the same, that's the point of this challenge.  I set out to do a birthday card, thank you card and a Father's Day card.  Two out of three ain't bad, right?

Initially, this was going to be the birthday card, but I just felt like the Thank You theme worked better here, I don't know why.

My favorite of the three!!  I didn't think this one needed a sentiment, it was almost like it detracted from its awesomeness so I left it as is.

I used all textured and handmade papers which I think really stands out here.

Just a few challenges:

• DLArt May Linky Party
• Word Art Wednesday - #596 Anything Goes 2/5
