Wicked layout - 5 challenges met

I have a educational conference next week, so I wanted to fit in as many challenges as possible before I leave Monday evening.  I was able to meet the challenges for 5 different places with this one sketch!  Six years ago I took my niece and four other students to NYC.  We are from a very small town in rural Oklahoma, so this was quite the adventure for us.  Since then, I've returned to NYC two more times!  While on this trip, we went to Behind the Emerald Curtain which is a backstage look into the production of Wicked.  We also saw Wicked the next night.  It was very insightful and interesting.  I would recommend it to anyone in NYC on a Saturday if you are a fan of the show.

Challenges met:

Color My Heart  - use the colors pear, sunset, lagoon, and gypsy

Heart 2 Heart  - Up, Up, and Away (the broom die cut)

Bitten by the Bug 2 - Travel challenge

Stuck On U Sketches  - Going somewhere die cut challenge 

Berry 71 bleu - 3 different pattern papers

Supplies:

Paper:  CTMH Hooligans

Tools:  Cricut Paper Doll Dress Up cartridge (hat and broom)

Stamps:  CTMH alphabet stamp

Ink:  CTMH pear, sunset, lagoon, and gypsy

I also used an old sketch from scrap sketch

Tag challenge and Mojo Monday sketch

December is a very busy time of year, so I like to get a head start on Christmas cards while I'm on summer break.  I made this one to meet three different challenges.  Both Christmas Card Challenge and Craft Hoarders Anonymous wanted tags used, so I made one using my cricut.  I also used the weekly sketch over at Mojo Monday.  Since we are having temperatures close to 100 these next couple of days here in Oklahoma, thinking about Christmas is helping me stay cool.

Supplies:

Paper:  DCWV Holiday Collection stack (I love these stacks!!!!)

Tools:  Cricut Joys of the Season cartridge and Fiskars scallop punch

Stamps:  HOTP Christmas Stamp and Punch and Christmas Greetings (sentiment inside)

In the Water die cut challenge

Fantabulous Cricut card

Stuck on U Sketches challenge

After a week of being at my mom's house so my daughter could go to theater camp, I'm back home and trying to scrap.  This layout uses a REALLY old kit from about 2003 or so...LOL  Can you say hoarder?  The pictures are from a church children's choir performance from 2009.  I used the Stuck on U Sketches challenge for this week.
