Flowere

I was  a bit leary of the color choices at Cupcake Inspirations.  they are not colors I would normally put together. But after  putting this quick card together I really like them.  Thanks CI for changing my opinion. Crafty Gals has an Anything Goes challenge.

Snowflakes

Another  quick  Winter card before  I move on to something else.  Sparkles Christmas Challenge has a Snowflake challenge.  U can't see the glittery  white  on the snowman but he really has a lot  of sparkle.  I first cut the snowflake panel in white but it didn't  pop as much as it did in  the dark blue. 

Christmas lantern

When Christmas  finally arrives I will have so many  Christmas Cards waiting for an early send out.  I've enjoyed  doing the Christmas in July Challenges.  It will give me a huge head start for the holiday season.  Cards Tv has a Christmas in July Challenge ending real soon.   I  just love all the  sparkle and  shine on this card. The  foil paper on the lantern and  greenery  just glisten and the  glittery star just sets the whole thing off perfectly.  Pinspirational Challenges  also has a Christmas theme.  Fab N Funky also  chose Christmas as their challenge this month.

Beach Umbrellas

This card shows the beach from an entirely different view.  It shows the beach umbrellas in  sort of an arial view. Its kinda  neat when it is finished.  I used a memory box die for the umbrellas and an elongated  oval for the surf board.  Dies R Us has a Water/beach challenge.  Little Tangles has an Umbrella Challenge.

Cat Spinner

I'm not real sure I  color  the paper  choices I made on this card and I may change it before I make another one. But I like these new  mini spinners from Art Impressions.  Jo's Scrap Shack has a coral blue and tan challenge.  I didn't start out to use this for that challenge but it worked out that way.   Crafty Hazelnut has her usual patterned paper challenge.  Craft Rocket Challenges has a spots and stripes challenge.  Crafty Sentiments has an Animal Challenge.

Rainbows

This morning  I had a couple  cute kids  here to visit.  Emily is  10 and wanted to make this rainbow card for  her friend  who is in the hospital. I helped her cut it out. She colored it. Hope it Cheers up her sick friend.  I'll post Jess's card later. She not quite done with it yet.  This works well for the Lawnscaping Challenges Rainbow theme.

Perry

I was reminded  yesterday that my Brother in Law has a birthday  soon.  He is an Alabama Fan so He most always gets and elephant card.  Cute Card Thursday has a circles challenge  so I chose this rocker card.  Creative Knockouts has a Birthday challenge. Little Miss Muffett has  an Anything goes challenge.  This darling elephant is a LMM image.  ABC Challenges has a Lots of Layers challenge.
