May Pick A Previous Challenge

Hi everyone, Ruth here with my final May challenge.  There is a 5th Saturday in the month which means it's time for a Pick a Previous challenge and I'd like you to pick a previous sketch.

Please visit our sketches archive HERE and select any one of the sketches to work with.  You can change shapes, rotate the layout, make a rectangular or square card - as long as the basic layout comes through to us, it's all good!  Don't forget to tell us which sketch you selected!

 

We have a fabulous GDT this month.
Please welcome--Judy V of Created Just 4 U!

Here's her take on our challenge this week~

May Stash Challenge

Hello folks, Ruth here again with another Christmas card challenge at 52 {C}CT and it's time for a stash challenge.  I love it when I can use a new stash item with an oldie but goodie stash item.  I'm fortunate to have crafty friends who I can borrow items from - or more often swap items with.  So mulling over old, new and borrowed led me to thinking of the wedding tradition of "something old, something new, something borrowed and something blue" and my May stash challenge was decided on! 

It would be great if you could use all 4 categories but if that's not possible, please do use at least 2 of the categories for creating your Christmas card. 

We have a fabulous GDT this month.
Please welcome--Judy V of Created Just 4 U!

Ruth here welcoming you to a new weekly challenge at 52 {C}CT.  I do love a recipe challenge and I hope you enjoy this one I've come up with!  It's a C.A.R.D. recipe and I'm asking you to:

• COLOUR something in (an outline image or sentiment)
• ADD RHINESTONES and/or RIBBON (use rhinestones or ribbon or use both)
