You can tell how much I hate packing and how much I'm going to miss my little sanctuary when I tell you that this afternoon I snuck in some time to make a card which I managed to make fit FOUR challenges! What?! I would wait and post it tomorrow, but time is running out over at LIM and I'm not very good at math and the card is made, so why take chances?
Here they are, in alpha order:

Less Is More (LIM), where for Week 109, the funtastic Design Team of Ms. Chrissie and Ms. Jen have presented us with a very challenging color scheme:
After fourteen trips to the bakery and a 14-pound increase in my weight, I finally was able to overlook the dough-doughs and concentrate on the colors!
... and ...
Retrosketches #53, where there are coffee stains to go along with the dough-doughs on this schweet sketch by Arielle:
There is an amazing Design Team at Retrosketches, too!

With Easter fast approaching, here's what I made:
In my head my card is covered with polka dot sprinkles! Num-num, I hope you like it.

Love all your polka dots. Phew that's a lot of challenges! x
ReplyDeleteLove the way you used the sketch to make your gorgeous spotty card Darnell, it is fabulous! I am going to really miss my daily 'fix' of fun when you are away but hope all goes well with your Sisters. Take care my friend! Big Hugs, Annie xx
ReplyDeleteWow, I'm impressed! I can barely make a card fit two challenges, let alone four! This card looks good enough to eat! ;)
ReplyDeleteI hope you have a wonderful trip and I look forward to you getting back into your craft room! :)
Gorgeous card Darnell!

I'm so glad you played along with us this week! I love the Easter Eggs, what a cute idea and great mix of polka dot papers! You did a wonderful job with the sketch and color combo too!
ReplyDeleteThanks for playing along over at ABC Challenges :)
Oh, this is so sweet, Darnell! Great job combining all of the challenges!
ReplyDeleteI can see why that donut photo had you distracted, Darnell! It has me drooling too ;-). Your card is super sweet :-) Congrats on all those challenges!
ReplyDeleteA fab Easter card, Darnell, love the polka dots and it's a great use of the sketch. Thank you for visiting my blog and your sweet comment. Sue x
ReplyDeleteI love reading your posts, I am always smiling all the way through them. Great card! Love all the polka dots!!!
ReplyDeleteWow! SPOT on dear girl! You know that I felt the same way when we went away on our holiday...I could hardly wait to get back to my craft room!
ReplyDeleteFOUR challenges, one card - that is like being able to put all your clothes into one suitcase! This card really is a perfect fit for every challenge - cute as a bug's ear, pretty as posey and yummy as candy sprinkles!
Wow Dippy your mojo is definitely moving with the MoTion! Four challenges with one gorgeous pink chocolately confection. I think you're panicing about leaving your playhouse.....we're going to miss you so don't you dare be gone too long - what is Mister going to do without you???
ReplyDeleteHugs.

Your card is a great take on the sketch. I understand about missing your sanctuary since I've been away from mine for 2 months but what's worse is we will be missing you. Have a safe trip and good visit.
ReplyDeleteWay to rock those challenges into one great card! I love those polka dot eggs! Have a great trip!!
ReplyDeleteSuch a cute card. It's great that you can use it for 4 challenges. :-)

Pretty card! Way to go with 4 challenges! I think the most I have ever done at one time is three! You will be missed!
ReplyDeleteSo impressed with combining FOUR challenges Darnell and now you come to mention it, your card IS covered in sprinkles - it looks delicious! Wishing you a safe journey and best wishes with the home-staging (if you get round to the packing that is...) Vicky x
ReplyDeletePS Thanks for letting me know about my win - so exciting!
Darnell, you just make me laugh! I love it.
ReplyDeleteYummmm ... spinkles, and are those chocolatey chocolate eggs (just wrapped in polka dots) ... a delicious confection, Darnell!
ReplyDeleteSafe journey, happy staying ... missing you already! Anita :)
Gorgeous Easter card, I love the colours and I want a cake! xx
ReplyDeleteI need to sit down for a bit as I have spots before my eyes!!!
ReplyDeleteGreat card with lovely colours. Hugs Mrs A.
Look at you getting in all these challenges with this lovely Easter card!
ReplyDeleteIt's so dot-a-rific! Way to go on smashing 4 challenges together, Darnell! I think that should be a challenge somewhere. Go find 4 challenges and make a card.
ReplyDeleteSuch a cutie, I love your spotted bunnies I do hope its not contagious though. Clever you to manage to combine so beautifully four challenges, way to go girl !
