Sometimes I amaze myself....

Okay - I am a challenge junkie and I admit it....is that really so bad? It is when I make one project for SIX challenges! I think this one is a record for me. So, without further adieu, here it is:
Now, you may ask how it all started. Well here's the run down:

• It started with Triple the Sketch and Project Tuesday. I had previously done this bag for Project Tuesday a couple of posts back. It was such an easy and cute project. When I saw this week's sketch for Triple the Sketch, I was thinking it was PERFECT for a bag!
• The next factor was Our Creative Corner - use your favorite color combo. My favorite color combo is black & white with a POP of color. Doesn't matter what color the pop is...
• This was then followed by Stamp Something - Showers or Flowers. I might go back and do the showers too. I have an idea for that one as well.
• Scrappy Frogs was also asking for spring flowers. LOVING these flowers!
• And last, but certainly not least, the Pink Elephant asked for Mother's Day or Mom Birthday. Now my mother's favorite color was always red, so when I was picking my POP, I went with her favorite color

That's it - count them up! It's 6!! (Yes Dalis - that's more than a triple dip!)

Below is a detail shot on the flowers.

So thanks for stopping by. I might do a couple more of these challenges with other entries, but...I am liking that I could fit six challenges into one entry.

Triple the Sketch Anniversary

I check into Triple the Sketch often. I can't say I have done a lot of their weekly challenges, but I have copied some sketches and they're in my inspiration file. I think I still have the "old" blinkie on my blog! Anyway -- it's their First Anniversary!

I created this piece in honor of their anniversary. You can see the sketch here. They are giving away some AWESOME blog candy to a random entry!

If you visit my blog often, you know I have a couple of children. My oldest who is 17 is currently sick with abdominal pain that we do not know the cause of. She has to go for a colonoscopy and an endoscopy on Wenesday to see if we can find out exactly what is causing her all this pain. As I made this card (because it is a 5.5" x 5.5" card in a frame) I thought of this saying, which is a stamp from Unity. LIVE ALL THE DAYS OF YOUR LIFE. Now I am thinking that her pain is something normal and easily treatable but you know there's always a possiblity that it could be something more. I am sure she is going to live a normal healthy life and she should do what this card says anyway and LIVE All the Days of her life. I love you Manda!

And the other details in case you'd like to know them: Paper is from an Apron Strings Designs kit, the ribbon was purchase at All That Scraps, Stamp is Unity, and I made the little crocheted flower.

Thanks for stopping by! I am sure there'll be more soon...I just can't stop creating these days and it's GREAT!
