Another Wonderful Wednesday!

Welcome to another wonderful Wednesday with 365 Cards and Designed2Delight! Today's challenge at 365 Cards is to be inspired by this ads from SeaPinks at Etsy:
I thought these cute little pumpkin pincushions in pink were perfect to inspire both those Halloween and Breast Cancer Awareness cards that we all need to make this month! Of course, pink is my favorite color too so I really liked these!
This card also uses this week's progressive freebie from Designed2Delight, Hope Butterfly. It's still free for a day or so, so go get it!

Here's the other challenges I was inspired by for this one:
1. Bee Crafty - Bling + digi
2. By The Cute And Girly - anything goes
3. CCEE Stampers - favorite color combo + half circle: Pink, black and white is one of my favorite combos

Another combo challenge sample!

Today's challenge at 365 Cards is to "Mix and Match" 3 different paper punches to create one embellishment. I found the idea for this cute punch art spider here. I added a smile using the SU! word window punch so I have the heart punch for the legs, various circle punches for the body and eyes, and the word window punch. This card is also a sample for both of this week's D2D challenges, the progressive challenge using Patches the Ghost and the colored pencil challenge for the Saturday challenge. Of course I couldn't stop there so here's some other challenges that this one was inspired by:
