My main focus for this card is the Alphabet Challenge, Round 10, but I was able to work with a total of six challenges in my efforts to play my "challenge catch-up."
#1. ABC10A10 - Alphabet Challenge, Round 10, Letter A/ theme: animals - 10/31/18. My card features an animal (a baby elephant) and also arches with my double arch border punch and the arches on my picture frame. Arches are a natural phenonmena found in rock formations, most times formed by water action and water erosion. The most memorable natural arch for me was in New Zealand...our tour boat sailed back and forth through the arch several times. It was a beautiful view, on a crystal clear, sunny day, but a bit scary as the arch was not much bigger than the width of our tour boat!
#2. FS609 - Featured Stamper, "All Together Now!" ...Jennifer Jackson aka jenniferstamp04 - 10/7/18. I chose this card for ideas for my layout: Cat Loves Coffee Card. I made some additions and changes to materials and presentation.
#3. F4A448 - Free for All challenge, "Balloons" - 9/21/18. I made sure I chose an elephant stamp with a balloon, as I had more than one to choose from.
#4. WT652 - Ways to Use It, "Oldie But Goodie" - 9/7/17. My old stamp is among several that I have from Wild Rose Studios. I chose "Bella" because she has a balloon and present for a baby shower. Isn't she just the cutest!
#6. USEIT2018 - Use It challenge - year-long ongoing to use old dusty crafting stuff or brand new never used. My card is composed of several old dies and punches that I have had for over six years, some even coming from defunct companies!

Lovely card in purples! All those die cut edges add softness to the straight edges and your bow is to die for. Looks fabulous! Will be a cherished keepsake for the recipient.

Carlene, this is such a sweet card with that little elephant and beautiful bow. I love the lavender color, too.
