Paper Smooches Saturday

I have a few cards to share with you today that I made over the last week.  These are all for various challenges of course, I am challenge crazy.  LOL.  Actually, it is just a fun way to find different inspiration to make cards.  And.....if I can win something in the meantime, why not right?!


So onto it already.  This first card is for the 10 minute card dash.  This is the first time I've done this challenge...and boy was it a challenge!  I like fussy cutting so getting a card done in 10 minutes was hard! I finished my card at 9 minutes and 57 seconds....so barely!  If you weren't able to get your supplies out first I definitely wouldn't have made it.    I did a sloppy job with my cutting (don't look to close) but oh well, lesson learned for this challenge.  I had fun anyway and enjoyed these colors.  UPDATE- I just realized I got the colors on the 10 minute dash wrong- lol!  I should have used the colors on the 2nd card.  Oh well! :)

I LURVE these Dinos in the PS Cutasaurus set and like the way the 10 minute challenge card came out, so I decided to kinda duplicate that card layout (turned obviously) but add a little bling =) and take a little more care with it (better cutting).  So this is my second card and this one is for the Paper Smooches SPARKS Challenge.  You'll notice the colors are very close to the colors in the other challenge, but this one uses blue instead of green.  I am loving both of these combos, so bright and fun!

I had made another card for the SPARKS challenge, this one was actually the first one I made.  It isn't bad, but it really didn't pop out at me. Of course, the lousy photo doesn't help... I think the dinos do though, they are so cute!

Oh! I keep thinking, I don't need dino stamps, but then I see these cards of yours! They are so sweet the way you've paper-pieced them. And wait, are those mustaches/lip-prints on the cups? Awesome!
