Double Trouble Challenge # 203

 Here's my card for Double Trouble Challenge #203,  

3-2-1 Recipe "Round and Round"

complete with Circles, Images and Twine.

 

 My niece loves owls, so this will be headed her way.

It will also be entered in DTC #203 and Try a Sketch on Tuesday # 682. 

 

 

 

Do you think I should turn that sentiment around so that it reads downward? 

I never know which way to put it vertically.

 

Thanks for visiting.

 

 

Double Trouble Challenge # 202

 First, I want to thank everyone who popped over to my blog to comment on my previous card.  I was so disappointed when I realized I had missed a recipe item and couldn't enter it in the challenge.  But you gals were so wonderful and encouraging.  

Thank you. 

I found a little window of time (I can clean the bathroom another day.  It's not like I'm expecting company or anything.) and made a second card, 

 which I'll be entering in the Double Trouble 3-2-1 Recipe, Shades of Fall and the Pearly Sparkles Challenge #112, Pumpkins and/or Autumn Leaves.

 

 

 

 Have a great day, and thanks for stopping by.

Any volunteers to clean my bathroom? 

Special Birthday Card

 Yesterday I came across 2 pieces of A2 sized patterned paper that a friend sent to me last year.  I thought it would make a lovely birthday card for my DIL, whose birthday falls on Halloween.  Usually I go with a Halloween theme for her card.  But I thought I'd go with more of an autumn theme this year.  I like how it turned out.

 I had planned to share this at Double Trouble Challenge # 202, 

Shades of Fall.  However, I am missing one of the required recipe ingredients (stenciled or dry embossed element).  

But I will enter it in the October 

Pearly Sparkles Challenge Blog #112 -

Pumpkins and/or Autumn Leaves. 

 

Thanks for stopping by my blog. 

Double Trouble Challenge #201

 "3-2-1 Recipe - SomeThing, AnyThing, EveryThing"  is the theme at the Double Trouble Challenge until October 12th.

 For this challenge participants are allowed to make their own recipe.  

My recipe is as follows:  1 sentiment; 2 patterned papers; and 3 circles  

 

Any guesses where I got the 4 little balloons? 

 

As usual, I followed the sketch from Try a Sketch on Tuesdays.

 

 

Thanks so much for visiting my blog. 

Send a Smile 4 Kids October Challenge

 

The theme for the October Challenge at

Send a Smile 4 Kids 

is

Favorite Holiday Color Combo

(Color combos can be for any holiday. Halloween, Thanksgiving, and Christmas color combos would be the most seasonal, but any holiday combo will work.)

Anything Goes for kids is always acceptable, too.

 

When it comes to Christmas/Winter cards I don't know that I have a favorite.

The last few years I've been seeing a lot of cards in shades of aqua and red.  

I kinda like the combination, especially when I'm making a card that is not specifically Christmas, like this one.  

 

 

 

 It would be great if you joined the fun at the

Send A Smile 4 Kids 

October Challenge.

(Cards only, please. And they need not be donated.)

 

Please take some time and visit the fabulous blogs of my teammates.  

They work so hard and are very creative!
