I thought I'd have time to post this after I got home from work but I just realised that one of the challenges closes in only 4 hours! This card is for the Wee Memories Birthdays & Parties challenge and also for the Use It Tuesdays cooking challenge. I love the Cosmo Cricket Early Bird and Garden Variety collections and have been hoarding them for ages now. I also have a million Cosmo Cricket Tiny Type stickers that I use very sparingly. I really don't know what I think I'm saving all this stuff for. I'm sure all my stash would be much happier to find itself on a card than collecting dust in the Craft Cave. Thanks, Use It Tuesday for kicking my butt into gear and getting me to put this stuff to use! Okay, really gotta dash now - back later with the blog candy!
Happy Friday, everyone! Friday means it's Friends With Flair day over at Unity and it also means it's deadline day for the latest Paper Players challenge. I've used Unity stamps and the Paper Players' colours for my card as well as some Nestie and impression plate action. 
Back with one more card for today and this one is a Triple Threat. I wanted to make a card for the Pay It Forward Challenge at the Moxie Fab World - specifically one for National Day of Encouragement. I paired the theme with the colours from the Lily Pad Palette Challenge and the tag made it eligible for CAS-ual Fridays Tag You're It Challenge. Off to get lunch and stuff ready for tomorrow. It's my long day at work and I'm going to take Franklin for a walk on my lunch break. Busy busy! 
I was back to puppy sitting for Franklin today so I didn't get much time in the Craft Cave. I haven't played along with any Lawnscaping challenges in a while but I recently got the Quinn's ABC's set which I love and thought I'd put to use. The challenge this week is Thanks and at Simon Says Stamp the challenge is Thanksgiving/Thanks so I thought I'd enter this over there as well. Please forgive the rather appalling photo. Didn't realise just how bad it was until right now! Ack!
I'm taking part in an Art in the Park event in a couple of weeks as well as trying to finish up an order for a lady who wants two sets of 36 cards (all different!) for her daughters for Christmas. So, not much time spent on challenges today but I did manage to complete an entry for the Play Date Cafe. My orange is a lot darker than the orange on the colour picture but I'm going to blame that on my printer. I think I've mentioned that my computer is at the other end of the house from the Craft Cave. So, for challenges, I print out the colours or sketches or what have you and take them with me to work from. My printed copy of this week's colours showed a rust colour - hence my use of Cajun Craze on my card. I should have learned my lesson after last week's PDC debacle. I printed my colour picture and made a card that I was really pleased with and excited to enter. I gleefully wrote my post and added my pictures and then added the PDC colours. That's when I realised I had a problem. Last week's grey, pink and yellow came out from my printer as grey, pink and green! Doh!!! It wasn't until I was writing the post that I realised the error. In future I really have got to remember to double check what my printer spits out!
There's an awful lot of pink and purple going on in Market Street Stamps' Paint the Town Colour Challenge. Between the colours and the inspiration photo all I could think of was flowers. However, I have no MSS flowers. I have a number of their background stamps but only one set of stamps. (Note to self: Remedy this situation!) So working with the Here Comes the Sun background and the Hippie Chic set I came up with this. Funnily enough, when I then went over to the MSS blog I found that Sarah had created a card with the same two stamp sets! Go figure...
