Another day... another challenge

I'm sitting here staring at this screen and completely blanking out on what I wanted to say. I have been ridiculously tired for about 2 weeks now and it's really affecting the creative energy. Anyway, here's my stuff for today:

Day 136 at 365 cards What's Black and white and red all over. I did this card a couple of times and I'm still not really sure about it... I guess it turned out OK, but really not my favorite. Everything used is from the Autumn Leaves "Pretty Poppy" Collection.

Then this one is day 135 at 365
You have to create a window using plastic. Again, I completed the challenge, but I feel like I phoned it in. I really liked the idea behind this one, but the end result just looks sloppy. I wanted to make the background paper (which I did), but I wanted it to look like it was raining sprinkles and ice cream cones. I guess it does, but again, it just doesn't look like what I pictured. I do want to give a shout to Purple Onion Designs. I ordered some stuff from there and they throw in some extra little stamps, one of which was this little ice cream cone. I think it's adorable! You just have to ignore my crappy coloring!

This one is for a few challenges... details below:

Challenges:

Use it! ~ add some texture (ribbon, inking, paper piecing)

at least 2 punches (flourish and photo corner both EK Success)

Paper from your favorite manufacturer (DCWV and Me and my big Ideas
Bonus * pearls (don't have any, so no bonus for me).
365 cards ~ Day #6 make it sparkly (I used glitter pens on the outfits and the punches and the actual card base has some glitter on it, trust me)

Kelly Jo's Stamp pad ~ yellow, black and white (I was late on this one, but what the heck)

Paperplay ~ fashion (I think my Hero Arts ladies are very fashionable)

Last, but not least...

Challenges:

365 cards ~ day #4 ad inspired

Cinema Saturday ~ Inspired by National Treasure (1 or 2)... tell us what you treasure.

So, I used the colors from the ad inspired challenge. Then I was thinking about what I treasure and I was looking straight at the flowers on my desk. I thought that I do treasure when my husband surprises me with flowers and getting to look at them all week while I'm working. I also treasure his smiles and him making me smile. Also, since my b-day is getting closer... I treasure rubies and red for my July/Leo b-day! I hope that's not too much of a stretch! lol.
