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!

Oh, Carlene, what an adorable baby card! Yes, mom is going to love it, and it is sad that this Wild Rose Studio stamp is no longer available. I loved that company and artwork. Well, you've colored her so beautifully and sweetly, and what a fabulous card using some older punches and dies. Your sheer ribbon bow is gorgeous, BTW! Hey, I have that one punch...haha! So, you only did six challenges on this one, eh? Hehe! You are amazing, and you always delight us! Hugs and love! xoxo

Carlene, what a totally adorable baby card this is! You have colored this super sweet elephant to the 9's my friend and framed her out so beautifully with these lovely papers, gorgeous borders and sweet little bow. This is just as charming as charming can be Carlene! ~Karen.
