Raise the Bar challenge

TGIF! Sorry this post is running late, I've had a migraine since Tuesday, ack, not feeling good. Luckily I don't get them often.

Two weeks ago I was picked as one of the cards of the week over at the Raise the Bar challenge (along with one of my blog friends Danni, so fun)! So I get the opportunity to be a guest designer over there this week. The theme is friendship.

I've used one of the VLV sketches from Splitcoast for this card along with this great Verve sentiment.

Thanks to Joni and the gang at Raise the Bar for the opportunity to join the fun this week. I wish you all the best after the closing of your blog at the end of April!

Corrosive Challenge

Welcome to the first Corrosive Challenge of the New Year. It's called Out with the Old, In with the New. You must use two old items (stash) on your project. For mine, it is the ribbon, some old SU ribbon I've had for years and the rhinestones, they've been around for quite a while, too.

We have a great sponsor joining us this fortnight, Simply Betty Stamps. The prize is a $15 voucher to her store! Betty generously allowed the DT to chose an image and I picked this fun image called Diver Judy.

Thanks so much for stopping by, please check out all of my Design Teamies' creations on the Corrosive Blog, some awesome stuff. Hope you'll play along with us this round.

Guest Bar Tender

My card was selected in the top 3 for the last challenge over at Raise the Bar! Joni invites the top three to be a Guest Bar Tender for the next challenge. I was very excited to play along. The challenge for this week is the colors of Mardi Gras (purple, green and gold). 

I decided to go all out Mardi Gras for this card with the theme as well as the color palette. I used this fun Masquerade 2 digi from Sassy Studio Designs and a freebie patterned paper from Paulette at Create with TLC. 

My sketch comes from Sweet Sketch Wednesday #142, another great sketch!

Thanks so much to Joni and the Raise the Bar DT for having me as a guest this week!

Thanks for stopping by! Have a great weekend.
