SnC CCC - Day 3

TGIF!

Here is my Day 3 card.  I read through days worth of challenges before I started creating and was inspired by several challenges in making my card tonight.

First I started with Christmas Stampin' All Year Long's challenge to use "A Pair of 3" and used 3 frogs, 3 patterned papers, stamped the sentiment three times and added 3 gems.  When I was selecting my paper I incorporated Do You Stack Up's challenge to use polka dots. Finally I tore the paper and inked it for 4 Crafty Chick's Distressing challenge.

Supplies~
Stamps: Jolly Christmas (Hero Arts)
Paper: Be Merry (My Mind's Eye)
Ink: Tuxedo Black (Memento), Creamy Brown (Colorbox Chalk Ink)
Other: copics (YG95, YG97, BG01, R37, RV21), rhinestones (Queen & Co)

TFL!

Don't faint...I crafted!

My crafty mojo has been zilch...zero...nada lately.  Lots of things swirling around in my head and it's really affected my craftiness. Trying to get myself out of this slump!

Today is my stepdad's birthday and I knew if I handed him a store bought card, he would have been really disappointed. So while dinner was cooking, I pulled out a card kit that I got from Taylored Expressions last year.  The paper is from the Imaginisce Birthday Bash line.

I cut the presents and banner from some of the dp included in the kit and layered it on another piece of dp and voila - a card is complete!

I am entering these challenges:
Birthday Sundaes #37 - Birthday card w/birthday wording/sentiment - my own challenge since I've been very absent :/
4 Crafty Chicks #66 - Birthday

TFL!
