Fast & Fab Trio

Hello there, friends! In between household chores and errands, and making cards for my monthly stamp club card swap, I made this card for a few of the Splitcoast Stampers' challenges. Our SU stamp club has a total of twelve of us so I design and make 16 identical cards (4 extra for my stash or my give away, gift box). I didn't get done, so I can't show you yet, but I got the design and the cutting completed, so I'm well on my way. Anyway...back to this card...I made it for several challenges-
The first challenge was the USE IT 2016- check it! The whole goal is to use your stash. My studio is busting at the seams with product so I will definitely be playing this challenge more often!
The second challenge was the Color Challenge (CC578)- Bermuda Bay, Old Olive and Elegant Eggplant. 
The third challenge was the Featured Stamper (FS489). I Barbara's Baily Flower card. 
Thanks for taking a look!
Hugs, Marilyn

Birthday Elle

Happy Saturday! And Happy Spring!
Even though it's on the colder side in the Lou (St. Louis), the bright sunny day and the flowers & trees blooming make for a marvelous day. Today I am sharing my card for this week's Mojo Monday Sketch challenge

This card was also made for the SSS Wednesday Challenge, Happy Birthday.
 
I've vowed to start using my stash, so my papers are from retired SU! A Walk in the Park. The blue is Baja Breeze which I wish never retired, but I feel that way about every blue. The cute elephant is Avery Elle.
Hope you like it! Have a great weekend! Hugs, Marilyn
