Operation Color Dare Garden

This is no April Fool's Joke!!! This card is connected to three different challenges today. That's where the silly title for this blog comes from.


The only way to make a successful project on a Monday is to have a lot of help. This card involved very little thinking. (Thinking always slows you down!!!) I just followed the rules of each of the blog challenges. The layout was designed by Operation Write Home. The Colors were chosen by Color My Heart. AND the elements were narrowed down by the BRAND NEW Rose Blossom Cricut challenge blog. I'm soooooo excited about this new addition.

I'm not usually the pushy sort, but I really wanted to be the first ever in all of history to post to the Rose Blossom Garden Challenge blog. Between every load of laundry I checked in today to see if I was going to be able to do it. When it was past lunch time I started getting nervous BUT ... yippee skippy ... I'm the first. It's totally ok if I'm not the best. That might have required some thinking. Instead of fussing over all of the possibilities I just jumped in and started cutting Cricut Artiste shapes using just one button. 

I hope you love the results as much as I do.

    Oh my goodness gracious - this is such a fun card!!! I am not a fan of the silver glitter paper, but look at what you did with it!!! You are amazing - not only the card, but that you did this while doing laundry. That is the last thing that gets done at our house!! Thank you, thank you, thank you for joining us and for sharing such wonderful words. You are a blessing, Shelly!
