For today's Free for All challenge, to use the most RECENT thing you purchased that you have NOT used yet. I purchased this sweet lamb rubber stamp from Repeat Impressions recently, wanting to have it on hand to use for an SCS friend who loves sheep. I figured I wouldn't ink it up for a while (her birthday just passed), but her first granddaughter (third grandchild) was just born a few days ago and I wanted to send a card to congratulate her! This challenge was timed perfectly.
I was also able to use the colors for the 100th Color Throwdown Challenge: regal rose, certainly celery, real red, and baja breeze. The sketch is for the current Limelights Papercrafts challenge, and I turned this into an aperture card for the Stamptacular Sunday challenge.
***I just realized that with the Limelight challenge, there was supposed to be background stamping, too. I had made a note of this, but somehow forgot while I was planning out my card!! I'm sure it had *nothing* to do with the fact that I was stamping with my kids . . . distractions abound. So sorry, Mandy!! Maybe the stamping I did inside the card for my aperture can be considered "background stamping" for this challenge . . .

Cute little lamb! Benzi must like this, especially as she has a new little one. Ohhhhh, duh, Col! It IS for her! What a dope I feel like! (must be the blonde coming out) Good job on the combo of challenges too.

This is adorable Emzi. I Love how the sheep is peeking through the window and I love how you threaded the ribbon through on the bottom. I see lots of pretty punches too!!! WTG
