Challenges!

 What a difference it makes to have an organized craft room! Marc, my son who worked hard to make it happen, thought of so many details that would never have occurred to me. To each his own area of expertise!
The two cards at right were made for challenges; Take a bite is for the House Mouse & Friends group on Papercraft Planet, http://www.papercraftplanet.com/group/housemousefriends, and Just us chickens is for the Anything Goes Challenge on Art With No Boundaries, http://artwithnoboundaries.blogspot.ca/

The background for Mudpie and his apple was made by masking and sponging.

All of the elements on the chickens card except the sentiment are digital stamps from the Cock-a-Doodles set by CS Designs. The central element is a teabag fold. I love this set, but haven't worked with it for awhile.

In Case You Were Wondering...

...where I've been,  my younger son was creating a fantastic crafting space for me which is now finished.  I also just replaced my worn out printer/scanner. It's such a joy to have a place for everything and plenty of space to create!

The first two cards are Newborn Congratulations, the third uses Loreley Sands and Shells, a digital stamp by CS Designs, as is the sentiment, and the fourth is a birthday card for the creator of my crafting space.

The Peter Rabbit background was done with masking and sponging. The frames are SU Framelits Labels, popped up on SU Dimensionals. Peter is also attached with Dimensionals.

This is the first time I've used the babies from the SU set, Baby Firsts, but I've got to find an excuse for using them again--I love them! More babies were stamped on the background, using Versamark ink.
 
The background of the Loreley card was stamped with a PSX sailboat image and Versamark. The sea turtle is also PSX. My first stamps were from that company, which made such quality images. I treasure those I have!
Loreley will be entered in the Art With No Boundaries Bonus challenge, Rhythm of the Sea.

The sun in the birthday card background was made by sponging ink over a circle punched mask. The grass and sentiment are SU Inspired by Nature. I cased this card from Cat Spicer; http://wahoohaven.blogspot.ca/2011/04/live-with-passion.html
