Thanks so much card for anything goes July theme challenge at APTS

A Place To Start is a great challenge blog set up on a monthly basis giving crafters plenty of time to create then link their project to the site! It also has pages filled with technique instructions, tutorials, and videos. There are also sketch designs for layout ideas and lots of wonderful resources whether as a new crafter or an old-timer looking for inspiration.

APTS' July theme is an easy one...anything goes...I decided to give myself 3 criteria for this card: (a) thank you, (b) use lots of stickers in an interesting way, and (c) continue using the bright colored cardstocks and patterned papers from my supply stockpile that I challenged myself to use from mid-June on.

d. 100 Pattern Papers Challenge group on Facebook= bright colored cardstocks are from scrap sections already used since June 15! see photo below after the next listing....

e. Bash Your Scrapbook Stash group on Facebook= Paper Pad Madness for June= I started June 15 by pulling out a partial set of the watercolor mottled cardstock, a partial set of bright patterned scrapbook papers, and 2 different sized small paper pads that had already had a few sheets out of each but still had long ways  to go to be finished... stay tuned in a few days for me to give an update on how much I was able to use in 2+ weeks....

Above: 4 of these cardstocks have had 5" x 7" sections cut out to be used as card bases/backgrounds and for this project I just cut 2" x 3" pieces off the remaining sheets that were glued to a new white CS 5" x 7" base.

Below pics: these were not used for this thank you card but have been had many of the sheets or sections for previous projects! Just use the older posts button at the end of this posting to take you back to see those...caution...they are vibrant!
