Happy Monday friends!! Today is an exciting Monday for me because I get to share a card I created for my "Featured Designer" spot at The challenge!! : ) woo hoo! you KNOW I was excited when I was invited to join this great team for the month of May! To me Lesley Croghan is the Queen! of challenges and I know Blogland shares my opinion by the wonderful success she enjoys for her hard work.
I am a planner : ) so I just love how Lesley lays out what can be expected for this challenge ahead of time. I know you will be inspired by the amazing Challenges she has created for us this month!
Here is the monthly rotation:
Week 1-Sketch
Week 2-Colours
Week 3-Photo Inspiration
Week 4-Masculine Photo Inspiration
Week 5-Wild Card (a surprise!)
There is a fantastic line up from the talented Design Team you really "gotta" check out! and then I hope you will join the fun with joining each challenge with us this month.
My card was great fun to create! I started with a stitched die from Lil Inkers on my card base. I added a layer of white cs that I embossed with tiny little polka dots. Next I layered a piece of pp from PTI's "Funky Town" . I created a little shaker from "What the Doodle - Apple" and made my horizontal strip from the sketch using a cute little pencil from "Pencil Me In" both products from Papertrey Ink.
This card could so easily be a Thank You Teacher card but I selected "Just Because" ... just because : ) heehee.
I am entering this card in the AAA Cards Challenge too!! I just can't resist Shaker Cards! or this fun challenge blog! come play with us!! : )
I have a super busy week planned! we are running an amazing sale on our scarves this week where every single scarf will basically be 50% off! so I'm taking off my card maker hat and putting my scarf biz hat on! : )
Thank you so much for stopping by! I hope your week is off to a bright and warm and Hapy start!! : )

This is wonderful. I love your apple as a shaker. I have that set and dies out on my desk today, making stuff from my neice. Love the way your looks colored in, and how you have combined it with the pencil die.
Very lovely card.
