Some days are all about challenges...

if the challenges are the crafty kind, then it is all good!

A new Your Next Stamp challenge starts today.   The YNS Color and Sketch Challenge #11 is open for the next 2 weeks through April 16, 2015 midnight EST.

I decided to go with the colors this time around and the layout is based on SCS sketch #534, which is flipped upside down.

YNS Ingredients:  Jessica with Cupcakes and the Hills Die Set

My card is also for the Simon Says Stamp Happy Birthday challenge.

Here are the YNS sketch and color combo so you can play along.  Check out all the rules on the YNS blog and remember that there is a prize for one random participant!

My Hero

Today's card features a super duper cute pup, Super Pup from Tiddly Inks. He could be my own pup, Bolt,who is a Westie.  Perhaps Bolt has an alter ego and when we are away he is flying to the rescue. That would definitely explain why he is always snoozing when we are around!

Ingredients:
Stamps - Image - Tiddly Inks Super Pup, Sentiment - YNS Whatnot Sentiments Set Two ,
Dies - YNS Clouds from Spring/Summer Scene and Large Film Strip Die
Other - Ink - Memento, Copics, foam dots, and Cardstock - PTI and SU

My card is based on the latest sketch from Case This Sketch, #116 and is for the Tiddly Inks All About the Boys Challenge.  I was inspired by Jane's card featuring Super Pup in the DT challenge post.  Minutes after seeing her card I was buying Super Pup!

Thanks for stopping by.

Smiles,
Julie

Your Next Stamp Challenge #10 is going on right now.  I took inspiration from the sketch.  Which one will inspire you?  Check out the YNS blog for all the details!

Spring...that season when flowers pop through the ground and birds sing.   Hopefully you live someplace where grass is visible and the sun is shining.  I will have to live vicariously through you, because unfortunately I am still surrounded by snow!

There is grass on today's card though and even some flowers {gasp}!

Ingredients: YNS Stamps - Dino-mite! and Happy Day Sentiments (Spring)
YNS Dies - Mini Tag Charm Die Set and Stitching Holes Die Set
YNS Accessories - Grape Jelly Gum Drop
Other - Ink - Memento and SU, chain from jewelry section, copics, Sizzix Dot embossing folder

My prehistoric card is based on SCS Sketch #532.  It is also for the Simon Says Stamp Spring Pinterest Challenge where I was inspired by the purple cupcakes - the confetti looks like flowers in grass.

Thanks for stopping by today!  Don't forget to head over the YNS Blog for your chance to win.
