A card, some challenges and a winner

Today I have a card for you. It's for Nate for his first day of first grade on Tuesday. It's a big day — he's in "number grades" now, as he says. Now it's serious. *grin*

I used two challenges to make this card. The Cameo Spotlight wants to see your projects using numbers. I also used the color challenge #152.

I hope you all had a chance to look through the first issue of PaperHaus Magazine yesterday. If not, scroll down to yesterday's post to take a look. Here is my winner for the blog hop we did last week to celebrate the launch of the magazine.

Congrats to … #29 SHartl! 

Send an email to dianadesigns [at] rochester [dot] rr [dot] com and let me know you saw you won and I'll hook you up with the $15 shop credit to Paper Issues.

Thanks for stopping by to see my card today! Hope everyone is having a great weekend.

Some'bunny' is ready for spring

Here's a cheery little card to get you hoppin' with your spring or Easter cards. I know some of my friends are already having days near-90-degree days (cough...AZ...cough...), but up here in the northeast we are dodging wintery mix and 30-degree-afternoons. We need all the sunshine-y things we can get!

I made this card with a few different challenges in mind. The first is the Card Makin Mamas: Animals challenge. Who can resist a cute lil bunny?! Speaking of ... this bunny is from DigiStamp Boutique.

Second, I used Card Patterns: Sketch 107. (Which is a great sketch that I plan on using over and over again.)


And I also used this color challenge at colourQ. I have to admit that this color combo took me a bit longer to put together, but I realized that a lot of the colors in my Scrapbook Circle March kit worked out for this, so all of the papers on this card are from that kit. The papers are from Echo Park and Crate.


Hopefully I've inspired you to play along with some of these challenges. Hope you all are having a great week so far!
