This is for today's FREE 4 ALL CHALLENGE # 45 - Celebrate Those Resolutions. OK since you all know how I love to combine, well, I did it here too. LOL. I have combined some of my New Year's Resolutions here.
#1. Flowers in my yard, my grandmother could stick her thumb next to a dead bush and watch it come to life, if I walk past it dies. LOL.
#2. I have a room full of Stampin' Up sets that I bought because I love them, in 2011 you will be seeing me use them more.
#3. I have a room full of embellishments that I had to have and have collected dust, I am dusting them off and putting them to use.
#4. I am bad about making card fronts and then when I need it I have to attach it to a card base, stamp the inside, create an envelope, not in 2011.
#5. I want to really kick up my creativity to new levels and I will be needing the help of all of my SCS friends so if you don't mind when I load something in your comment make suggestions how it could be kicked up, made better. I would greatly appreciate it.
For this one I dusted off a fav set called "WINDOW ON THE WORLD" which was one I bought in the very begining. I stamped it Espresso ink then trimmed in the "out of the box" style including the inside of the window image. I colored with copics and matted on daffodil delight. This panel is popped up on deminsionals. My silver brad is from #3 resolution and it is also for Thursday's WAYS TO USE IT CHALLENGE # 303 - Steriling Silver.
I used some DCWV dp I already had out and seamed the 2 panels with daffodil delight ribbon.
My layout is from Wednesday's SKETCH CHALLENGE # 313. My color combo is from Tuesday's COLOR CHALLENGE # 303 - Old Navy Delight.
Hum perhaps I should have just resolved to only do 1 challenge for each card? LOL.

Neva,,,,,,,,,,you are the absolute QUEEN of challenge combing!!! I'm amazed at the cutting of the window.......it's perfect. I have to practice that technique........maybe that will be one of my resolutions.....
Happy New Year........... I would be very hard pressed to suggest how you could possibly make your cards better.....

LOL, it's hardly constructive to point out that the resolutions were meant to be non scrapping or stamping, but you've got your flowers as number one. I always enjoy your cards and find it hard to think I'd be able to offer constructive input, but I'll try to bear it in mind. Love this take on the sketch - that IS creative.
