So, I made cards while listening to the news. The card making helps...the news-not so much.
Over at OWH the midweek throwdown is:
"We’re challenging you to use insects on your cards for our heroes to send home to their family and friends"
And at Penny Black we are challenged to use Blossoms and Bows:
And Nancy's OWH tutorial is how to make a mirror image with your stamps! Good technique to know!

And finally- at a new challenge blog we are given the challenge to use the CTMH Cricut cartridges! What fun so see so many great ideas on using these 2 fabulous cartridges! Challenge #2 is to work with the Mother's Day key on the Artiste cartridge (page 74). I like the scrolled frame- so I made 2 cards and cut several more to play with!
