I decided to try to do as many challenges as possible today, since Friday was a prep day for Christmas Eve and yesterday was a recovery day from Christmas Eve.
1) Today's CAS-a thank you card. I rarely make a card with the words thank you; I prefer to make a nice card and write my thank yous inside.
2) Today's TLC-recycling cards. What I actually recycled are embellishments from another card, namely the handmade paper focal point and the ribbon, which I colored with alcohol markers. I jazzed up the focal point with some metallic sprays and drops.
3) Last Friday's F4A-white on kraft...pretty obvious.
4) Last Friday's MIX-Polly asked us to use metallics. I've had the HA cancellation stamp forever, it has the date of December 26 on it so I thought that was appropriate for a thank you card. I stamped it in several Brilliance metallic inks. I used metallic sprays and metallic drops.
5) Finally for Adriana's VSN-be inspired by a museum. That Dali...he was a character, in looks, behavior and in his art. I love him and he certainly created 'theater!' I chose to focus on the gold, red and white colors.
Thanks for all these challenges...seems funny that I made a basically CAS card for them.
PS I need to explain the focal point: it is one of those handmade pieces with paper pulp, pushed into a mold and left to dry. They were popular years ago and I still love them. I used to have a mold, not sure I do anymore. Yes, it's leaves and berries.

Wow - challenge heavy this card is (I have been reading Yoda quotes).
Love how you incorporated them all together - especially the artful paper focal point. Great stuff here, Jean. Hugz
