4 challenges in 1...

...to get me back into my groove! :O LOL! Yes...I think I'm back crafting wise! It took me 4 challenges to make me say 'I think I can, I think I can'...

I just found this cool challenge blog called JUGS! Isn't that a funny name? It doesn't mean the obvious though...lol...it's actually Just Us Girls. Check it out...it's new!

So here is the card and here are the challenges!

Challenge #1 is for The Greeting Farm's "No Frills". We're to make a card using NO ribbon, NO flowers, & NO laces or trims...hard for me...but I managed...lol. In fact I made 2 cards for that challenge and I'll be posting card #2 on Monday.

Challenge #2 is a sketch challenge (which I flipped)!

Challenge #3 is a technique...paper piecing (the stocking is pieced)!

and Challenge #4 is a color combo challenge!












So yeah...I think I'm getting back into the groove! :D That makes Gabby vewwy vewwy happy!

Thank you for playing along this week - with all three challenges! Way to catch up ;] Oh and I have to tell you the JUGS acronym IS in relation to...errr, JUGS...during October anyway! LOL Breast Cancer Awareness month and all...you know :O) Ha ha
