Challenge Crazy

I've found a lot of new challenge sites, or new to me, anyway. So, I'm doing some crazy combos here. Here is a sketch from Truly Scrumptious: This is my take:
Challenges:
Truly Scrumptious ~ use your stash and the above sketch
Saturday Challenge ~ use 3 ribbons (3 pieces or 3 different)
Paperplay ~ Paper flowers not store bought
365 cards ~ day 14 paper flowers
Twinkling Tuesday ~ Citrus inspiration
Simon Says ~ lemon, orange, apple green and pink

Got them all... whew! Now, supplies:
orange and striped papers ~ DCWV Citrus stack (btw DCWV on sale at AC Moore this week)
ribbon -Basicbasic floral satin (stash item)
pink papers for flowers from stash and inked with pink chalk marker
owl stamp ~ Hampton art (can't get enough owlies!)
alphas ~ crate paper
various prisma color colored pencils, flair markers and chalk markers.

The flowers were cut with a scallop punch and I just did a scrolling pattern with my chalk marker.




Next... Mojo Monday sketch:




Challenges:
Mojo Monday ~ sketch
365 ~ day 37 Dress up Chipboard
Pile it On ~ 3 different embellishments (chipboard, rub-on and jewels)

Supplies:
All Cardstock and patterned papers ~ American Crafts
Chipboard ~ Colorbok
ink ~ Fiskars hunter green
gold ~ Sharpie paint pen
fa la la rub-on ~ Anna Griffin
jewels ~ Colorbok

That makes me ready for bed... I'll be trying to sleep and wrestling over what to do with the latest 365 challenge... stitch an image. Oh boy, carpal tunnel, here we come!

Night y'all!
