Today I have been working on Connie and Sarah's challenges.  I am making pretty good progress with those.  I started Jan's challenge, but my idea did not work, so I am going back to the drawing board on that. I do have a start on the Bingo extra challenge too.

So I am in progress with a lot of things but not done with anything, lol.

April, how exciting to meet your son's girlfriend, I hope that goes well!

Cindi, it sounds like you had a full weekend, but you are really moving now!

Hope we all have crafty days!

I was going to start Jan's challenge last night after I cut some stuff with my Silhouette but the stupid software was being twitchy.  And then when I finally started cutting, the new mat I bought was too sticky for the paper I used.  So I had issues getting the stuff off the mat.  By that point, I was so fed up, I just gave up and watched tv.

So tonight will be round two with my Silhouette.  Then hopefully I'll have time to get started on Jan's challenge.  And I need to post the cards I finished last weekend.

Sarah good for you...I agree some times when I am having mechanical issues I it is best for me to just  stop and return at a later time.  Hope you do get back to making a card for my challenge. 

I think I have made at least 1 card for each challenge. But I still have 2 techniques from Tim's Creative Chemistry Class that I want start with a  polished stone background on Yupo.  So that is my plan for the weekend.

Hope to see more wonderful cards in the gallery!
...Jan

My Silhouette was cooperating last night.  But then my computer's battery died, so I didn't quite get everything cut.  I really wish I had a better spot for my Silhouette - it is across the room from my laptop on the end of my craft desk.  Every time I go to use it, I have clear off my craft desk and bring my laptop over to it.   :(

I also managed to stamp the image's for my card for Jan's challenge.  I just need to color them and assemble the card.  So I should get that done today.  I need to work on April's challenge.  And I think I'm going to rework the first tree I did. 

But first I have to tidy my craft space.  It has gotten to the point where I loose things once I set them down. Twice last night I couldn't find something I had just used.

I know the feeling of losing things right in front of me! Sometimes I have to completely clean up and start anew so I won't be so frustrated. :-\

Just a note. I am leaving tomorrow on a trip to see the leaves and will be back late Tuesday. I think we will know the winner of BINGO tonight but I won't be able to announce the winners of my other 2 challenges until Wednesday. I will mail the RAKs at the end of the week.

Have a fun trip April.  I managed to get the foiled card done tonight but just too tired to start the last challenge, maybe I will be able to get to the last challenge tomorrow after church

Hope folks have some time today to work on some more cards.  My 2nd chance challenge for using the backgrounds made during the warm-up challenge has 4 entries.  As well my Holiday Stylin challenge only has 2 entries.  My challenges will be open to midnight tonight-your time.
I will announce winners tomorrow.

Jan I am still planning on working on cards!  The only other thing I need to do today is go to the warehouse club to shop and get gas.

I finished up my foil challenge today.  I'm glad I got the painting part done yesterday ... it took awhile for the paint to dry and required quite a few coats.  Jan, you are so lucky that your paint pen worked in just one coat!

Today I made a Spotty Dotty card from start to finish.  DH was out flying this morning so it's been all crafting for me!  I hope to keep on going.  I really want to tackle Jan and Connie's challenges.

What are you working on today?

I got my Holiday Stylin card done and posted, and I have something drying for the the Warm up bonus, which I hope works out okay otherwise I would have ruined that background!  I have something I started for the Bingo bonus, but now I can't make heads or tails of what I would want to do with it.

Time is running out!  We shall see!

I believe the only challenge I didn't manage to get done was Aprils use colors from Bingo challenge, not too bad for a busy week :)
