Oh my gosh...I have a card today that I'm fitting into nine challenges, but I am not sure if I can use one card on the Dirty Dozen Monthly Themes that has six challenges within it. I could not find any "rules" that said it was any different than other challenges, so I hope I am doing it correctly. If not, I'm hoping someone will advise me of the error of my ways! So, here we go:
#1 - Ways to Use It - WT670 - 1/11/18: "Let's Circle Around"...my circles are five round rhinestones.
#2 - Alphabet Challenge - DD8ABC12L: Letter L = Lacy with optional double challenge Opaque...use no transparent or translucent materials on your card.
#3 - Teapot Tuesday - MMTPT495 - 1/16/18: A Little Peace...think peace, like doves, pretty flowers, cheerful things, etc. I thought a lacy heart with bitty flowers would be cheerful for a "Friend."
#4 - Inspiration Challenge - IC633 - 1/29/18: visit the Frederique Morrel Artwork website...find inspiration for your card. The art work was beautiful, though it wouldn't fit my traditional home. I found inspiration in color from {My Deer}. See it here in third row/ second from left: https://www.frederiquemorrel.com/art...e1516890125012.
#5 - Use It - USEIT2018 - Use items in your stash that you have let sit idle for a long time or never used. Mine would be the Stampin' Up Bloomin' Love/ Bloomin' Heart stamps/ dies, which are over two years old. I used them a lot their first year out, but not much since. My new Reverse Confetti Lacy Scallop Frame die has been waiting use for over a year.
#6 - Dirty Dozen January Monthly Themes - CT0118 - 1/15/18: Central Theme - Cut to the Punchline. I have used four dies: the Scallop Lacy Frame (coral mat), the Bloomin' Heart (lacy heart), bitty flowers, wavy sentiment banner.
#7 - Dirty Dozen January Monthly Themes - WORD0118 - 1/15/18: WORD Challenge - make your card using some items that start with the letters of JOKE. J = Jewels (rhinestones). O = Open Cut die. K = Kraft corrugated cardstock. E= Early Espresso Ink.
#8 - Dirty Dozen January Monthly Themes - DINSP0118 -1/15/18 - Inspiration: use the photo included for inspiration. The tiny flowers and patterns in the flowers...I incorporated tiny flowers and patterns in my heart.
#9 - Dirty Dozen January Monthly Themes - MIM0118 - 1/15/18: MORE IS MORE - I made this card before in a simpler version; I didn't like the outcome. This is a remake of that card. I will upload the first version by itself.

This is really gorgeous Carlene. I would never have put these colors together and now that I see them together, I just love it! You have all kinds of glorious texture going on here too. And WOW, you really outdid yourself Carlene getting this one fabulous card to fit into 9 challenges- I am super impressed! ~Karen.
