The Many Wonders---Finding Challenges

I just made this Orange Flower last night trying to see if I could "Scrunch " it enough and make it look like so many the gals are making.. and I found a few Challenges I thought it might fit.



My Card Receipe:
Sizzix Flower Layers Die, and Leaf Die
Spellbinders, Borderabiliites Ric Rac Die for the Scallops,
Cuttlebug EF     D'vine Swirls
Distress Inks: Wild Honey, Vintage Photo
New Distress Stickles in Orange on the Flower
Tsukineko's finger applicators, Tim Holtz Distressing Tool
Some Varigated String from my Fibers Obession Chest

The Flower was fun, I used 2 of each size (4 different ones) Distressed, Scrunched, Misted, added Orange Stickles on edges, punched a brad in the middle. WhooLah!!! 

I will enter this into the following Challenges, as I found a couple more:
Wee Memories    Challenge #23 - S.O.S. theme (Scallops, Orange and String)! This week the challenge is to incorporate any 2 of the 3 designs, Scallops, Orange or String.
A Crafty Little Place Crafty Challenge #57 - COLOR!!!  Three colors to be exact:
BROWN / GREEN / ORANGE.
Welcome to Flourishes  Rustic Beauty   
Waltzingmouse Sketch  Challenge #15  Sketch
Paper Romance Challenge #17  Handmade Flowers
Alota Rubber Stamps Challenge#43 Do It Yourself Flowers

Thanks for stopping by my blog. I really always appreciate any comments. I didn't realize my blog was so hard to read until someone mentioned it.  When I had so many computer problems last week I noticed the difference using Internet Explorer and Firefox  they give different fonts and sizes. I hope that headache is over, things seem to be working better, but sometimes I have no access to the CD Rom / DVD or my USB drives .  Did a good cleaning so maybe that will help..

Enjoy what is left of our week. Heavy Rain here all thru the night. Another Harvest Nightmare.
