a (last-minute) *TRIPLE* play!!!

i like to think i am as good a multi-tasker as anyone else, but in fact when it comes to challenges, i seldom manage to do more than double up with... say... a sketch and a color combo. this time, however, i've even worked in a *THEME* which means i am good to go on three challenges with one card! a new personal best! :)

i've combined this week's sketchy thursday sketch (that closes in...about 15 minutes...) which is, naturally, FAB-U-LOUS:


i've followed (pretttttty closely) the current (GORGEOUS!) color scheme at design dollies of turquoise pink and white; and i've worked in some lovely winged creatures for the take flight theme at the city crafter challenge blog!

and here's my card:

(patterned paper: prima + rhonna farrer digis from house of three; glossy cardstock: ranger; stickers: ek success; butterfly punches: martha stewart; inks: colorbox; font: porcelain; gems: mambi; adhesives: tombow monorunner, gluedots)

and now i think my work here is done...and done...and DONE! goodnight, all! ♥♥♥

  8. That is so awesome!!! Very cool. 3 in 1. That is totally a record I think. I am not sure I could beat that if I tried. I wanted to do that sketch from ST, but just ran out of time this week. I have done the 2s4y sketch this week. Going to try to post that soon today. An actual post this week? Whaaa? I'm averaging two posts a week at this point. How sad! lol.
