Funday Friday Challenge

Happy Friday my bloggy friends!

Welcome to our very 1st FunDay Friday Challenge!

This week's challenge is this gorgeous sketch that was created by Amanda Haynes! Thank you Amanda for providing us with this wonderful sketch!

I liked this sketch so much, I decided to create 2 cards.

For my first card, I stayed with the sketch. For this card, I used Lemon Whip, Buttercup, and Sugar cardstock from A Muse Studio. The sentiment is from Sweet 'n' Sassy "Wait on God" stamp set. The brads are from Stampin' Up!

On the second card, I decided to bring out my cricut machine. It's been awhile since I had crafted with it, but I really wanted to utilize it again and find those hidden gems in my cartridges. I used the Mickey and Friends cartridge to create this heart border. The cardstock is from Recollections and I used a Martha Stewart border punch. The sentiment is from Cardz TV "Heart to Heart" stamp set

We would love to see what you create using this sketch! You will have one week until nextFriday, May 31st to link up using the linky tool at Jo's Scrap Shack. There will be 3 top winners chosen to earn the Top 3 FF Badge and one lucky winner will be randomly chosen via random.org to receive 2 stamp sets of their choice from Cardz TV Stamps!! Thank you so much Mary for sponsoring our very first challenge!

Remember that all top 3 winners will earn an entry into the monthly drawing which will be announced at the end of June since we are starting the challenge at the end of this month already. I really hope to see lots of entries! This is a great way to get your mojo going and getting your projects completed. Now let's have a look at what the wonderful Design Team has created using this sketch. I hope they motivate and inspire you to play along! Make sure to click on their names to see more about their project and leave them some bloggy love!

Messy Craftroom

I have decided to link up a photo of my craftroom for the Craftin Desert Diva's Linky party.

I must warn you - it's a hot mess. I am still working on my organizational skills. I did get some ideas from looking at the design team's photos!
