May Challenge at 613 Avenue Create - Anything Goes W/ Optional Twist: Mother May I?

Time for another great anything goes challenge at 613 Avenue Create. The optional theme twist is "Mother May I.

This is my card I created for this challenge.

To create the card I used the following products:

Papers from a paper pack by Teresa Collins called Timeless Gray Damask

Window, background, and flower dies from my stash

Mother's Day sentiment by Embossing Arts Co (1993)

The last few months I have been consciously shopping from my stash. I really get mad at myself for sometimes spending to much money in the stores or online or go to use a product that that I have purchased and it is all dried up.

Thank you for stopping by and have a creative week. Remember to pop over to our challenge blog to be inspired by out talented design team.

ANYTHING GOES w/Optional Twist: KEY IT SIMPLE

Time for another great challenge over at a Place to Start this week. As always the challenge is anything goes and this weeks optional twist is Key it Simple. Just use a key and lock or just a key in your project.

I decided to make a farewell card for a friend that is moving away and starting a new adventure in their lives.

I drew my house shape and played with my dimensions. Then I layered the house shape first with the green craft paper then drew another layer to add to the front of the house.

I used a piece of my Mixed Media scrap of paper from my stash for the front of the house then added the door and windows. The sentiment is computer generated.. I inked the edges with distress inks, added my key, some doodling and stamped the chimney with a brick pattern stamp.

ThanK you for stopping by and have a creative week. Remember to pop over to our challenge blog to be inspired by our talented design tea.
