Cozy Quilt for the Curtain Call

With all this snow and cold, what could be a better challenge than a cozy quilt.

Here's the sweet inspiration photo

I didn't use those sweet colors, but I did "quilt" my card.

The sponsor this week is Lil Inker Designs.

I used their stitched mats rectangles on the edges of this card.

The circles were made by first punching with a 1" circle punch from DSP then punching around the hole with a 1 1/4" circle punch.

I used the last snippet of this piece of DSP so off I go to 

Pixie's Snippet Playground

where the ground is wet but the atmosphere is warm.

Since this quilt pattern is called Wedding Ring I'm entering it in the

Simon Says Wednesday challenge which is

WEDDING/ANNIVERSARY.

The CCEE Stamper's challenge (which is about ready to close)

is PUNCH ART.

Since I used punches for my "quilt squares", I'm entering this over there.

Thanks for stopping by.

Enjoy!

Seeing Stars

Here's a patriotic quilted card I whipped up.

I haven't had time to play with the Friday Mashup challenge for quite a while.  This week's challenge is

Here's the Mashup Challenge.

1. Make a project using the "Quilted Card Technique".
2. Or, make a project using "Something that's been forgotten (sitting in your stash forever)."
3. Or, "Mash it up" and create a "Quilted card with something you've forgotten about".

I didn't exactly use the Quilted Cards Technique because I didn't cut squares so I'm not sure if this is truly "Mashed Up".  The buttons have been around for several years.  I rarely use buttons because I like to mail my  cards.  But they just fit perfectly as centers for these stars.

It also qualifies for the LIM challenge this week to TAKE THREE CHALLENGES.  This time  I used...

1. Week 27 Colors of the Flag
2. Week 39 Stars
3. Week 55 Punches or Diecuts

I hope there's enough white space to qualify for Less is More.

We had such a nice visit yesterday with our friends.  You know it's a good friend when you can pick up right where you left off over 2 years ago.  It was fun catching up and having lots of laughs and hugs.  I wish they could have stayed longer.

Thanks for stopping by today.  I love your visits too.

Enjoy!
