Good morning, crafters. Welcome back for a new challenge.   Glenda would like us to make a card that is inspired by a book.  I picked,

Around the World in Eighty Days by Jules Verne

Check out all of the inspiration by the team and join in the challenge.

Seize the Birthday #265 Circle/Circles - Colleen

The challenge this week on STB is hosted by my bestie, Colleen.  She would like us to use a circle or circles on our cards.  I was making this card and realized that it had a circle on it and decided to use it for my STB card.  

I used a new Pinkfresh stencil and stamp set that I got when Col and I went shopping in a real Craft store.  Delicate Floral Print.  We had so much fun and spent about 3 hours in there.  I made several of these in different colors which were a full sheet and was able to make two cards each.  

The Circle is Colleen's that I had ordered for her from Gina K, called Lots of Dots.

Butterfly from Pinkfresh Small Butterflies stencil set.

Embossed with Liquid Platinum.

I am also pleased to introduce our newest Surprise Party Guest for the next two months.  Please help me in welcoming, Isabella from Izzy Scraps. We are happy to have you joining us, Izzy!

AAA #243 & Paper Players #647

I am attending a retirement party for two of the guys I used to work with and needed two retirement cards.  Looking through challenges, I also found 2 challenges that I could enter my cards in.

I used Gina K. and Thermolweb's Tropical Sunshine Stamp & Stencil set.

Since Sail boating is both an outdoor activity and also at the beach, it was the perfect scene to create.

Also, used Gina's inks to blend.
