one cute card, bunch o'challenges! (and an ATC)

another attempt at combining challenges over here! not something i tend to do very often, so i had a little extra fun playing...

here's the list of challenges:

La-La Land Crafts - their challenge is RIBBON (and i seldom make a card without it these days!)
Allsorts Challenge wants to see "furry friends"... i LOVE this little stamp and the poor kitty that Leah is holding (yes, this stamp is called LEAH!)
Passion For Promarkers wants ANIMALS!
Simon Says Challenge is looking for a Get Well card.
Practical Scrappers calls for PUNCHES - that's where my circles come in.
Daring Cardmakers - their challenge this week is "These are a Few of my Favourite Things"... to use at least 5 of your faves in a project, or to throw down 10 and thereby earn their "gold star award"... hee hee. i definitely have 10 faves in here!
1 - image coloured with watercolour pencils
2 - Creative Memories corner rounder (thank you, Adina-Dollie!)
3 - ORANGE!
4 - Basic Grey - the cut out circles are from the Lime Rickey collection. i have a slight obsesssion for BG paper. *drool*
5 - buttons - they've become something of an obsession
6 - big brads - they just make the flowers look BOLDER, and i'm all about bold!
7 - Cosmo Cricket paper - this is from the new Nutmeg mini-deck, and it's SO yummy!
8 - clouds - i seek out papers that have cloud patterns on them, because i think i'm a little in love. it may be unhealthy.
9 - the tag - i keep buying and buying tags, and while i LOVE using them, i can't possibly use them up quickly enough to justify buying more, but somehow, i NEED more. you all understand.
10 - yummy gingham ribbon. even better that it's orange! :D

okay, so here's the card...



and here's a little ATC i did with the Tilda and Friends ATC Challenge in mind, because this is their final challenge before they close up shop. it's a shame, because i really like their blog! anywho, the challenge is to use fall colours, which is a happy little combination for me...



and i am WIPED OUT. spent the evening chez Mom and Papa T, watching the Phillies kick the butts of the Yankees. i enjoyed the game more than i thought i would! go Phils!
