Fluttering Sympathies

This card was pretty quick once I corraled all the punched butterflies. I was using up scraps from a previous card and have enough to create one more. Butterflies are my go to for sympathy cards. The colors are outside my comfort zone, but the beauty of Basic Grey stacks is you know they will all coordinate.

Chocolately Goodness at the OSCC

Argh, still having blogger problems, or is it just a jelly bean overdose? :o) Thankfully I noticed before too many more days passed. I spent te weekend working so this is the first chance I've had to update my blog. We have a FABBY challenge for you this week over at One Stop Craft Challenge. This week we are being inspired by CHOCOLATE. Yummmmmmmy. Pop over to the challenge blog and see what the DT came up with. I went with an Easter Chocolate Bunny theme.

Quilted Sympathy

This card has been bouncing around in my head for awhile. I had fun making a paper quilt with some gorgeous Basic Grey papers. I was so inspired, I created 2 more cards using the rest of my 'quilt scraps'. I'll try to finish them off and get them posted soon!

Dotty Delmar

The DT at One Stop Crafts was given some fun images from Dude Time Doodles to play with this week. They are sponsoring our Spots and Dots challenge. When I first saw Downtown Delmar I wasn't sure what to make of him; but once I started playing, everything fell into place. There's still time to play at the OSCC, so come and show us your spots. You could win free images from Dude Time Doodles.

I was inpired by several other awesome challenge blogs and can't wait to give this card to the perfect cool dude.

Egads, I'm already a month into the 365 Card Challenges and I'm WAAAAAY behind (I still have a few from last year I'm trying to wrap up). I may have stretched the challenge a bit, but having a verse on the front counts as alphabet - right? And see all those dots - they are circles!

Play along with our Spots and Dots challenge and you could win digis! Check out the great inpirations from our new Design Team members here.  I had fun playing with Ollie the Octopus and went off the norm by not doing ANY ink coloring; everything is paper pieced.
