LOVE this Sketch over at Chick Challenges

Wow, did I have LOADS of fun playing today.

I simply adored the sketch over at Chick Challenges and am so so so happy to have found time

to play with it.  It really did CHALLENGE me to try this fold though.  All worth it in the end.

I grabbed some of my Unity Stamps, my Cherry Truffle paper by QQ, and started playing.

I knew I wanted to work on a masculine card since I don't do many of those types of projects.

I hope you enjoy my creation and gladly welcome any 

comments you may want to leave.

I DO LOVE TO READ COMMENTS!

i enjoy your company

What a delightful feeling it is to finish a card in a fair amount of time, knowing that I used up some scraps, got to ink up one of my new Itty Bitty stamps by Unity, finished a card for a good cause, and can enter a few challenges, too.

Ahhhhh!

Fabulous Day!

The Itty Bitty I used on this card is called enjoy your company

and can be purchased HERE

Because my card is made up of entire bits and scraps and I used some old buttons (trying to make space to justify buying some new ones....LOL),  I am entering 

into the Tuesday Throwdown #90 - Spring Cleaning  challenge.

I used Cappuccino twine by the Twinery, you can find it HERE, behind my sentiment and to tie a bow on one button.  I am entering the Ribbon Carousel RCC45 - Baking with the  Twinery.

I used 3 buttons to enter my card in the current

It is necessary for these challenges that you CANNOT USE any diecutting machines.
I know, I know, it will be hard for all of us Cricut lovers, but really, what a great way to dwindle down those scraps and be a little more GREEN!
