365 Cards - #105 Sing Along Saturday Plus 3 Other Challenges

Edited to add: This challenge also fits this weeks challenge #11 over at Paper Blooms and the challenge was to include three flowers and challenge # number 1 at Pile It On was to have a non stamped sentiment, mine is computer generated straight from my mind lol (Thanks Rose) so I thought I would add my card to those challenges as well.

I decided to jump on the band wagon and make a card with other challenges made to fit hehe. So, first and foremost is the challenge at 365 Cards which is a Sing Along Saturday - Rainbow Connection and we had to use that song as inspiration for our card. I chose not to do an actual rainbow but play on the pot at the end of the rainbow but in this case it is a cup and not with gold but roses!!! The next challenge was over at ABC Challenges and your card had to include. . . wait for it. . . YES ROSES! Check. The next challenge was over at Cute Card Thursday and the challenge was Quotations and my sentiment was a play on gold at the end of the rainbow, check! The last challenges was over at Card Patterns and I have tried and tried to load the sketch onto my post but the stupid 'Add Image' button has decided not to work for now. So pretend that you see the sketch for Card Patterns but if you look at my card it is spot on for the sketch. So all in all one card for four challenges but that does not come close to Maz who made one card for 12 challenges and Rose and I are in awe of that so Maz is the Challenge Queen!!!!

This was fun to do as well. . . trying to get the different challenges to marry up. I will be doing that again I think. Well that is all for me today so until Sunday which begins a whole new week over at 365 Cards so. . .

In the meantime. . .

365 Cards - #104 Imagine This - GRASS & Cute Card Thursday - Punches

Today over at 365 Cards the challenge was Imagine This - "GRASS" or to be inspired by grass by using an image or just be inspired by an image. Also over at Cute Card Thursday the challenge was punches. So this is what I came up with. The green grass as the bottom of my card is another ancient roller that I have had for sooooo many years and finally it came in handy lol. The leaves and butterfly are from the Storybook Cricut cartridge. The flower punches are from EK Success and I cut strips of cardstock for the stems. I didn't get time to make my card last night as I usually do because by the time the party was over and we cleaned up I was too knackered to make a card but I certainly had it on my mind all night I can tell you, to the point where I had to get out of bed at 5.30am this morning to start on it. . . .sad isn't it? lol It has taken me this long because Soph was a little out of sorts this morning and wanted to be nursed (carried for the US girls not breast fed lol) so not a lot got done at first, but I finally got there. I said to Ash if you want to go on a picnic then I have to get into my craft room and get this card made so you take care of Soph and I'll go and create lol.

These next photos are of my grandaughter on the morning of her very first birthday which was yesterday. She is here in this photo with my husband after he had put her table and chairs together that we bought her which also included a tea set and toaster and two slices of bread hehehe. Look how impish she looks in this first pic hehe

There is no finesse about making a pot of tea for this little girl lol she just gets right into it. . .

Here is Poppa trying to show her how to make a pot of tea and she thinks "hehehehe I got Poppa to make it" lol the look on her face says it all doesn't it?

Well we are all going out for a picnic today so that is it for me until the next challenge.

In the meantime. . .

Walk about your day with beauty.
