Cardigan Card Again

Mornin' y'all...insomnia must be contagious because I think I caught it from the hubs.  I was awake from midnight to 3am last night and I did NOT want to get up this morning, but Daphne and Ryan insisted.  Maybe I'll get to take a nap once I get Ryan off to school...

Anyway, I do have a card to share today and actually I might be doing multiple posts some days this week because there are a plethora of great challenges out there and I want to play with all of them : )  So here is today's card:

We have two challenges that were absolutely meant for each other, starting with Inkspirational:

And next is Inspired By...:

I had to get out my trusty Knit Together background stamp and the knit cardigan from Forever Friendship for these two challenges.  I could not for the life of me remember the name of the stamp set with the cardigan in it so I think it took me almost as long to locate the stamp set as it did to make the card, ha!  I couldn't resist adding some Mossy Meadow to my color palette even though there's no green in the inspo pic.  Also I think I've gone through half a package of Cajun Craze cardstock in the last six weeks.

Time to get the kiddo to school.  Cheers, y'all!

Mango Card-Again

Hey y'all!  I managed to sneak some time in my craft room yesterday while Ryan was playing video games.  I really miss playing with paper and ink when I don't get to do it on the regular!  So here's a new card for today:

I bought Forever Friendship from the holiday catalog on a bit of a whim and this is the first time I've used it.  I think the Knit Together background stamp was made to be used with the cardigan stamp, am I right?  Oh, I've had Knit Together for at least a year and I hadn't used it either, oops.  Guess that means I need to stamp more often.

I used this week's sketch from Global Design Project:

And the bonus inspiration challenge from As You See It:

Great inspo pic!  I could have gone with the violin as inspiration, or the flowers, or the oranges, but I decided to take the colors and warm, cozy feel for my card.  I used Mango Melody, Soft Suede, Garden Green, and Early Espresso for my colors.  My (now retired) Mango Melody Blends are getting a bit dried out, bummer.

That's it for me today.  I'm off to do my French lesson and then try to vacuum the living room and clean the kitchen.  Ryan and I are making cookies for Santa sometime this week...on second thought maybe I should wait and clean up the kitchen *after* that adventure.  Cheers!
