Two Cards - Three Challenges

Okay - here's we go! Color Throw Down really "threw" me this week - if you will excuse the pun! LOL As I am not an SU girl, I do not always know which shade to go with for the SU colors. On this week's challenge, which is Pink Pirouette, Sage Shadow and Chocolate Chip - the sage was really giving me a problem! Well...problem solved! I was at Michael's tonight and went looking at paper - the patterned papers used here are from Basic Grey's Sultry line. I am thinking they're about as close as I was going to get. I had fun with them anyway.



This first one is for the Eat Sleep Stamp Sketch Challenge over on Tracy's blog. I have been loving these. I really like how this card came out too! The sentiment stamp is from Lizzie Anne Designs.





This next one is for the Stamps & Smiles sketch challenge. I am not sure I like this one. When I first finished it, I wasn't liking it - now it's starting to grow on me. Stamps on this one are Unity.


And since it is now officially National Scrapbooking Day - I will wish you all Happy Scrapping for today! (and hopefully you get to scrap today!!)

As always, thanks for stopping by!
