Once again, I'm doing last week's Hambo Hoedown challenge the day before the deadline. I took this afternoon off of work so I could finish and file my taxes before tonight's Stamp Camp, and I found I had enough time to make the Hambo challenge card! Yay!
Here is this week's image (free to players from last week):
I immediately went through my stack of printed (and un-used) sketch challenges and decided on this one - FTL135 from Clean & Simple:
Here is the first card I made:
As I went to post it, I realized I'd once again NOT READ THE WHOLE THING and forgot it was an easel card challenge. I mean, look at the title: He Flies Through The Air With The Greatest of EASE...L Um, it's in the freakin' title! Sigh. But never fear! I am the queen of the save! Observe:
Ta-da! An easel card. Yeah, so what if I had to go to the link at Splitcoast to look up how to do it. Actually, I think I should get extra points for using my still-unused-before-today edger die from PTI since I used it TWICE here - once on the outside and once for the inside piece that saved me and made this into an easel card.
I may even sneak this card in to the Simon Says Stamp "use Spring colors" challenge. Yes, I may.
AAAAAND, every piece of paper on this card, except for the base, is from the Heaplet. I win. :)
Let's hope that next week I read the whole challenge before I start the card. Hey, first time for everything, right? ;/
Thanks for stopping by!
They are both adorable!!! :-)
ReplyDeleteYou silly girl…I sometimes make a card and then look for challenges to fit :)
ReplyDeleteCute image and card. I love that polka dot paper!
Woohoo - you worked it out Leslie! LOL I love the polka dots and that fancy edge. I'm so glad you found time to play along with us yet again. Thanks for sharing! :)
ReplyDeleteNice save, the card is adorable! You are not alone - I rarely read ALL of the instructions for anything, even after all these years.
ReplyDeletePS - thanks for the comment on the cupcakes. When you and Libby, and perhaps June, come to visit I will make some just for you.
ReplyDeleteFabulous card- I love those colors and I am resisting the compulsion to go shop for those dies....
ReplyDeleteTotally adorable! Love the great spring look :) Thanks for playing at the Hoedown!
ReplyDeleteGorgeous card Leslie, the image is super cute.
ReplyDeleteThanks for joining us at Simon Says Stamp for our Spring colours/Easter challenge

Reminds me of something our theater director always said on Dress Rehearsal night. "...and if you screw up, make a BIT out of it! 'Yeah I MEANT to do it that way!'"
ReplyDeleteHEY! where's the WV?
