The Flower Challenge #95 - Reminder

There's still time for you to play along in The Flower Challenge with your stamped flower. 

The flower is from a Grateful Heart by Altenew stamped in their Cool Summer inks.  The background is a pierced plate from Spellbinders and their nested four petal die fits perfectly in the center, layered for dimension. 

It's your turn to make a card.  For inspiration, please check out what the Design Team made.

Time Out #272 - Snarky

It's time for another Time Out challenge and this time we are to be Snarky.

Snarky is not my thing at all but I did find something I thought was cute.


The lures are from Honey Bee and the net embossing folder is from Spellbinders.  The sentiment is also from Honey Bee's Hooked on You set. 

Funky Fossil is our sponsor and they have a $25 store credit for the winner of the challenge so we hope you make a card for our gallery.
