Two Post MONDAY!

I have been on a roll with these challenges - I just love the way they get your creativity flowing! This one is for the Club Anya "Pattern Me Not" challenge - I couldn't use any patterned/background papers. It was challenging - but fun! I love Santa Ian, I used SU! Real Red, Whisper White, and Basic Black papers. I used a soda tab for my belt buckle, and a piece of black grosgrain ribbon. I smeared the paper with black ink to give it a "charcoaled" look. Whaddayathink?


I couldn't NOT ink up Santa Anya once I took this set out, so I made this one, too:
Then I stumbled across the Etsy Inspired Challenge blog this week because Whimsie Doodles is sponsoring it and I "heart" Whimsie Doodles... anyway, the challenge was to visit the shop and get inspired by one of the photos - this was what I came up with, and I was inspired by a gorgeous picture of the sun's rays shining through the trees onto the grass, it's just beautiful and it's called Good Morning, Kansas (click to see) - by Jared May.

I used SU! Old Olive, Not Quite Navy, and coordinating Designer Series papers, along with SU! Not Quite Navy brads.
Peace!
