Well, it just so happens that we had two (one for DH and one for me!) He didn’t want his, go figure, so my little mind thinks, “If I mess it up, I’ll have a backup!” Of course I need a backup, I mess everything up! So I sponged the edges in Bravo Burgundy, Really Rust, Taken with Teal and Old Olive for the ColourQ challenge. Wow, it ended up with a marble look.
Took some thinking (that hurts!) and I wanted to decorate the back side (I did put DP on it, just didn’t embellish) Thought I could use 6 different sketch challenges instead of just the 3 I did use. Ran out of that Mojo juice, wonder if Wally World sells it?!?
So what you see is what I got - the finished card…
1. Stamp TV # STVC36 – sketch, third panel
2. Whimsy Stamps – Sketch, second panel
3. Eat, Sleep, and Stamp – Sketch, first panel
4. Stamp Simply – 3 panel accordion card
5. ColourQ – use Bravo Burgundy, Really Rust, Taken with Teal and Old Olive
6. Cuttlebug Challenge Blog #55 – Use “your favorite” and mine is the *BLING*
7. Our Creative Corner – make it vintage
8. Pile It On – a card that sends “thanks”
9. Gingersnap Creations – 2 Challenges: 27 to use orange, green, brown and 28 to make a Thanksgiving card
10. Sunflowers and Dragonflies #15 – flower power!
11. Crafty Creations – a Thanksgiving card
12. My Creative Moments #4 – to use circles
13. Stamptacular Sunday Challenge #31 – Friendship
14. Challenge Up Your Life – to Pimp it Up! To take something and make it look better
15. There's Magic In the Air - the pumpkin Digi and the first panel
Just think – this card base could be in the trash can now!
Sorry for the long post. Making a card once a week leads to a lot of wordiness. Have a great week everyone. I’m just hoping for a better week than last week… SAM
ps...DH is still sick with that darn flu, it's been 2 weeks now. I noticed a lot of blogs I went to are discussing dealing with the same type of symptoms. It sure does wipe you out!

WOW SAM! What a creation you have there!! I wonder who the lucky ducky recipent it going to be? It is truly just amazingly beautiful! And I love that the 3 panels came from what was soon to be trash! Way to go green.. lol wasn't there a challenge to fit that category? :O) But wowzer on all the challenges you cover, I think I might need a spread sheet to keep track of them all! :O) I love everything about this card, the colors, the warm feeling and the sentiment as well as all the work that went into it!! Way to go! And thanks for including us and playing along this week over at TMITA!
What a fantastic card. I love the sponging you did!
Great way to recycle the junk mail.
oh Sam, sorry your DH is still sick, did you all get it? We got the magnificent N1H1 and it's been 2 weeks and we still feel like crap. thank goodness the one that feels the better is our baby.
Thanks for playing again w/ us at Pile It On... I just added you to the Mr. Linky since he was missing in action

Well, mother dear, what can I say? I suggest doing 10 challenges and you do them, I suggest 15 and you do them!! I was just KIDDING! ;) Even though it took you FOREVER to get this done (I should know, you talked about it for DAYS!), it is absolutely BEE-utiful! The recycling of the flyer was brilliant and the embellishing on the other side is gorgeous! Can't wait to see what you do next!!!
Speaking of that, I was thinking of challenging you to combine 20 challenges but decided I'd make it even HARDER!!! So here it is, ready? Can you make a card with no more than 2 challenges?!?! Can't wait to see! :) Aloha, KL and Malie
PS the dentist went great this afternoon but didn't get home until 7:30 so no cards this evening. Maybe tomorrow...
Fabulous creation!
If you find any more Mojo could you send it my way too!
Great combo of challenges and "Thank You!" for playing at PIO this week!
Thank you for recycling! That is the best way I can think of to re-use the junk we get. Wonderful card! Thank you for playing along with Pile it on this week. Hope you'll join us again.

Wow. Wow wow wow wow wow!!!!! Where did you find time to even FIND that many challenges??? Girl, you amaze me! Are you sure that YOU didn't retire? Lol...just kidding - this is fabulous! I think Kim's right - we (you) need to go for 20 (two?) next time!!! Lol! Let's get together soon!
Wow, this is so incredibly wonderful!! Beautiful. Thanks for joining our challenge at Crafty Creations and Pile It On this week :D
