WOYWW#215 time and lots of challenges!

It is weds and time for the world wide blog hope that Starts here:  http://stamping-ground.blogspot.com/ , at Lovely Julia's blog! It will most likely to commence around 3am EST which I hope to be sleeping, hence I'm starting early! 
My desk was busy tonight I made a few challenge cards, and while I was working on the card type challenges, I working on a personal one too.  When the cards were done I had my answers!

Here is my desk:

I know it doesn't look like much, But I like to keep things as tidy as possible!

Working on a cute little penguin card for the challenge here:   http://casology.blogspot.com/  The theme was "cool". Here is the finished card:

Hopefully this looks cool!  It is an a6 size on 100# base card stock .  This is a clean and simple challenge and I am hoping it qualifies - I tend to over do!

The next card was for Mojo Monday Challenge:  http://mojomonday.blogspot.com/
I am hoping these challenges help me to become a better card maker, I am learning a lot along the way!

 

Clean and fairly simple  A6 size 80#  card base the DP was from a DCWV pad.

 

For some slightly OCD reason I decided to cut this pad in quarters, glue the top on the cut pads and make four pads from the one.  I felt like when I use the 12x12  I get bored with them and that I seem to waste a lot of paper.  Not so with my 6x6 pads.  Now I know the scale is different on the 6x6 pads, but I thought I'd give this a try.

 

 

So far I am liking it!  I used Alene's Tacky glue to "pad" the tops of the lower two 6x6 pieces.  I have been using this set quite a bit.  I'm not ready to chop up all my pads, but this seems to really be working well.  I thought too, I give one of these to a stamping chum and see if she liked it!

Next challenge was the challenge on multi levels, here is the blog where the card challenge originates:
http://twistoffaithcards.blogspot.com/.  The criteria was a gate fold card with a scripture or encouraging sentiment. 
 
One thing that helps me to crank out cards is this little treasure box:

I have hundreds of stamped and trimmed and even some backed sentiments/scriptures.  This is an awesome assistance in my card making! and I always feel encouraged after peeking through it!


Here is my card for the challenge:

 

The personal challenge has to do with where this is going.  When I started, I had no design in mind, no scripture, no colors - Nada.  So I asked the Lord in a small quiet prayer, what would you like this to say?  And I knew when I looked into my box that this was the right one, because it no matter what the circumstance; This verse speaks HOPE.

 

 

 

So I hope you enjoyed your visit and it was probably to long for the WOYWW, but I had a busy desk today!

Enjoy the Hop and Thanks you for stopping here!!
