Well I have my last 2 cards to share with you. I must say I enjoyed doing the challenges and it really stretched my creative side to work within a 45 minute time frame. I also did not realize it but I found myself reaching for a lot of my old sets that I had not used in quite a while. I may even recreate some of the cards in different colors just to see…
At 8 PM were working with Harry Potter and limited supplies. We could only use 3 colors, 2 accessories (you could add a neutral as one of your accessories), no glitter or embossing powder, have 2 different images stamped on your card, a punch somewhere on the card, black somewhere on the card, and images that remind us of witches and wizards.

Well are you sick of seeing my projects yet! I had so much fun and my favorite card hasn’t been posted yet. The first challenge I completed on Sunday was the one from Friday night I had not done.
