B. Creative Artists challenge blog; current; anything mixed media goes; MY card has an acrylic overlay; I altered it by using a black marker to darken the scalloped "curtain" print on the overlay; the cut-apart card had 3 colored pencils used to color-fill the white stripes and repeat the colors of the lettering/phrasing printed on the overlay plus I outlined the 'love' to help define it more under the overlay; gems and a butterfly were added for accents

C. Love To Scrap challenge blog; current; anything goes that is 'scrappy'; MY card has 5 layers--yellow cardstock base, light peach-orange paper scrap, a light blue cardstock scrap, a cut-apart card, a plastic overlay!!

D. Paper Craft Crew challenges; current; vertical sketch; MY card's stacked sentiment on the overlay "Happy Little Moments" has "love" printed on the cut-apart card underneath that if off-set and gives a staggered look like the sketch; also the gems duplicate the top right circles and the butterfly's location is different than the bottom left circles but it does give an accent near the bottom of the sketch/card
