It's time for another challenge from Karen's Doodles! and today we bring you a recipe challenge. Now, you will notice my title to this entry is "times two". This is what happens when you get so excited over the card that you are making, that you forget all about the recipe! I got ready to post my card on the DT blog, and realized I hadn't even thought about that recipe. So, as a result, I have two cards to share with you. One followed the recipe, and one was my own cookin!
So, after all that rambling, you would probably like to know what the secret recipe is - use 2 designer papers, 1 ribbon and 3 brads or gems. Pretty easy - just don't get carried away like I did. For my card, I used Home Tweet Home. I love bluebirds - they are always so cheerful.
This card is for the following challenges:
Crazy4Challenges - sketch
Totally Papercrafts - spring
Copics Colour Challenge - B93, E47, Y23
Alota - Mother's Day
Stamp Something - Something Layered (Karen is sponsoring the prize this week)
Now on to my second card! (which was really meant to be my first!) Anyone who knows me, knows that I love going to the beach. We are really blessed to have a beach house on a small island in South Carolina, and I'm itching to go. So, I had to have this image, On the Beach, as soon as I saw it. As you can see, this card did not follow the recipe - it had too many calories - lol.
Here are the challenges for this one:
Friday Sketchers - sketch
Paper Sundaes - No People
Papertake Weekly - Cutie Pie
Cute Card Thursday - Touchy Feely
Crafty Ann's Challenge - Let the Sunshine in
All Sorts - In Stitches
Stamp, Scrap, Doodle - Bows, Buttons, Bling
The Crafty Pad - Stitching
Doodle Palace - Funny Animals
We love seeing the great projects you come up with using Karen's images!

Well, we are very lucky to see not one but two cards. I've done the same thing before and only realised after the event that I've added something wrong or omitted something OR even worse that I've missed a deadline!!! Thank you for joining in with Crafty Ann's Challenge this fortnight and we hope to see you again very soon. Best wishes, Kym xxx
Two adorable cards. :) Thanks for entering the stitching one into the crafty pad challenge. :)
