Rebellion!

Sherry's challenge is at  Bits of Cheer - make a card for a child using paper piecing.
One of my favorite cards to make are cards for kids.  I don't do a lot of paper piecing, but this particular stamp looked like it would be perfect for it.  And, I think it turned out a lot better than if I had just colored the clothing.

Carol, my neighbor, 20 miles to the South, decided we need to use something we've been hoarding............well, I hate to admit it.....I've been hoarding pink poodle brads.   Yes, it's awful, I know.  And I'm so embarrassed.  But look, Carol, I did  it!  And I used three, count 'em three! 

 

Lisa, at Stamping With A Mission, has asked for cards with food as the focus.  I don't know about you, but I always have olives in my fridge.

Yvonne at Penguin Papers is being rebellious by asking for cards using bright colors.  I guess this is her answer to the April Fool's day request for brown cards.  (Which I fell for, by the way......)

I threw away two kites before I managed to get one that I was happy with.  Who would think a simple looking kite could be such a problem?

This next challenge threw me for a loop, "use any five elements".  I ended up with this.

Buttons, twine, patterned paper, stamp and sentiment.  I'm not sure why I pulled out Christmas stuff, but the paper was awesome and so I used it for the next challenge too, which was to use a die cut.

Yeah, I know, more Christmas.....But maybe I'll be ready this year!
Next on the list was Sketch 120, where I also used a piece of paper that I've been hoarding.

Here's my blue and gray card for Allison.. (I'm partial to the Navy.)

And my last post for today are my "sister cards" for Sybrina's challenge at Scrapping With A Purpose.

Thanks for looking!  I had a great time playing along all weekend!  ~Nancy F.
