Funday Friday Challenge #1~

Click HERE for my 200 follower giveaway!!
Happy Friday my bloggy friends!
Welcome to our very 1st Funday Friday Challenge!
This week's challenge is this gorgeous sketch that was created by my dear friend Amanda Haynes! Thank you Amanda for providing us with this wonderful sketch!
  

We would love to see what you create using this sketch! You will have one week until next Friday, May 31st to link up using the linky tool at the bottom of this post. There will be 3 top winners chosen to earn the Top 3 FF Badge and one lucky winner will be randomly chosen via random.org to receive 2 stamp sets of their choice from Cardz TV Stamps!! Thank you so much Mary for sponsoring our very first challenge!
Remember that all top 3 winners will earn an entry into the monthly drawing which will be announced at the end of June since we are starting the challenge at the end of this month already. I really hope to see lots of entries! This is a great way to get your mojo going and getting your projects completed.

Here is my card that I created for this challenge:
 
For my card, I used bazzill black cardstock for my base and ran that through my chevron embossing folder. I die cut the squares using the Scalloped Nesting Dies by Megan Elizabeth in white cardstock and the pretty patterned paper. I got the patterned paper for $1 at Michael's in a pack. My sentiment, "Enjoy everyday Enjoy life" is from Papertrey Ink's stamp set called Handwritten Notes. I used another sentiment from this set on the inside of my card, "Have a great day". Both of my sentiments were stamped in versamark ink and heat embossed using some black EP.To finish off my card, I added some pretty lime green lace ribbon from Webster's and I added some black liquid pearls as my accents and around the sentiment. Below are a few more pictures. ....



 Now let's have a look at what the wonderful Design Team has created using this sketch. I hope they motivate and inspire you to play along! Make sure to click on their names to see more about their project and leave them some bloggy love!

 



 
Thanks for stopping by today and I sure hope you play along with us this week. You have until 6pm central time on May 31st to link up your card! Winner will be announced on June 3rd.

That ribbon is so cool looking, I love the texture it gives your card and I love your scallop squares! Your sentiments are just perfect!!
