It's BellaRiffic Friday and today's challenge was to use "bling". Bling isn't really my signature move, but I did manage a few rows of pearls, and if you make the picture bigger, you might see the Stardust pen that I used on Miss BittyBloom's skirt to make it glitter. :-) This fun paper and ribbon is from the package of challenge candy that I got from Tuesday Morning Sketches, for winning the monthly challenge in July. What a nice treat!!My sketch for today's card is from Card Positioning Systems, and since it is a fall card without a sentiment it works for the OWH Midweek Throwdown challenge as well. :-) Oh! I have to show you my new organizational tool for keeping track of the challenges I like! I'm not one to make a card and then find all the challenges that they fit. I really like to pick a sketch, a theme, and maybe some colors or a technique as I start to make a card. It really helps my mojo. :-)
So here's a peek at the page(s) that I made...
The bottom page that you just see a little of, has a list of all the challenges I check. Next to the name I write the theme or if it's a sketch. I can also write who it sponsoring it (and if it's a *good* sponsor, I highlight it and it becomes a "must do". LOL!) The top sheet has a verse to remind me that any artistic work I may do is a gift from God. Then I have boxes to mark down sketches, with a little box in the corner to check if I complete it. There's even a list of the days of the week, so I know when it is expired. It really is helping me combine challenges for inspiration, rather than making a card and then looking for where it will fit.
Sorry so long today! Thanks for stopping by!
Blessings!

Just wonderful and thanks for the ideas about challenges. I have only participated in 4 different blogs and don't go seeking how many I can participate in with one card. One time it just happened I could use a card in tow. Thanks for the organizational technique.
I love your sweet autumn card!! Thanks for the organization tips -- great idea!
I've only done a few challenges, and this inspires me to go and do more.
Love you blog,
