It was my turn to pick the challenges this weekend, and I have to admit, choosing three was a bit much for both me and my BFF. I picked the Paper Craft Crew sketch, Shopping Our Stash #288 "Days of Yore" (vintage/ shabby chic/ distressed), and the CAS Mix Up (stamping + corrugated + your choice from their "choices" sidebar). It was the SOS challenge I had the most trouble with, as did Barb.
I think part of the problem is I'm suffering from a knee injury which has kind of knocked the creativity out of me. I just want to sleep, but I can't find a comfortable position. (Same with sitting and standing.)
So anyway, this was all I could muster today. The corrugated cardstock is retired now. I liked that stuff so much that I stocked up when it was on clearance, and probably have enough to last me a lifetime, lol!

DeleteGreat job combining all three challenges Cindy! Your carousel horse is so beautiful embossed in gold and framed with corrugated card. And great colour combination with blue and yellow ... especially love the splatters in the background. Thanks for sharing with us at CAS Mix Up!

DeleteLovely card. I love the carousel embossed in gold. It really stands out. Adding that soft blue really made it pop. Great idea to mount on the corrugated cardboard.
