I really didn't try to be a "challenge hoarder", but as each challenge was posted, my card seemed to fit. I was only trying for the CC482 (I love these colors) and the SC492 (I hope I have some unexpected craft time because I love this sketch and I have so many ideas that would work). Then the WT483 called for twine or rope and there it was on mycard. TheF4A225 said to use a hoppy as a theme, and you guessed it, I do a little organic gardening in my tiny back yard. Strawberries are a favorite crop here in Southern California even though the water department is telling everyone how much better it is to grow cactus (remember we are in the middle of a huge drought). Finally, I rarely use heat embossing, and I have barely made a dent in my big jar of utte. When I made the card during the week I felt it needed something (my tendency to over stull my cards) so I used a 2 step butterfly punch and heat embossed with utte and glitter....and today, there was the MIX72 calling for using a heat technique. Thereis a little crystal effects on the berry stems and flower center but it does not show up too well. The butterflies are much brighter and have glitter mixed into the utte. Have a fantastic weekend. TFL, Francie

Fabulous, Francie! Love the mix of designer papers, something that I just can't get the hang of. Fabulous, fun colors on this and love the added butterfly!

But just look how much time you have available since you hit all those challenges with one card! I think you should try topping your record. Wouldn't that be a fun challenge?
Great card!

Well, you certainly aced a goodly number of challenges with this very pretty card! I love that sketch, too, and have yet to use it, so you're 'way ahead of me! Anyway, love your use of this week's colors. Sweet!

Our poor strawberries got blasted by the severe cold this winter, so alas, I am without this year... super jealous if your plants are producing (don't tell me!), although, your stamped ones look almost good enough eat... just sayin' Thanks for swinging in the hammock with me this week!
