These are the final days of the pink and brown challenge over at Verve. You have until September 5th to create your card and upload it on this site. I need a birthday card for my daughter for next week and I wanted to do a bookmark for her as she loves to read. She is a true girly girl so pink is perfect for her. I combined it with the brown as she has…
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.

Our next challenge was based on the children’s author Eric Carle. Since many of his books use watercolor we were to use watercoloring on our…
This week the Penny Black Challenge was to create a project other than a card. Since I had just made a bookmark using a large paper clip and I had some left I decided to make another bookmark. I like this one also (other than the ribbon, I need to find some yellow polka dot as I think that would be too cute!). These would make some easy fun Christmas presents for those of you…
