Challenge Cards!

Good Afternoon Chicks!

This is a quick post.  We had a terrible wind storm with winds between 130 and 140 km/hr winds which blew everything apart up here.  Our power went out at home on Monday at 7:30 a.m. and have since found out that it could be off until Thursday 11 p.m. or later.  My teeth are starting to chatter!  It snowed twice today along with hail at one point.  You can see your breath inside the house!
We have power right now at the shop so am quickly posting two cards.  The lighting is horrible here so my card photos aren't that great.  They needed to be quickly posted because I'm going through Blogger withdrawl!!
Card Number 1 is for the Outlawz Sunday CAS challenge with a floral theme.

Here's a closer view of the embossing.  Too bad you can't buy that embossing powder anymore!!

Here's card number 2.  I originally made it for the sketch challenge at the Outlawz last Wednesday.  Due to power outages from our storm I couldn't get it posted so will add it to the bunch and find another challenge to enter it in to!


I don't have a recipe to type out right now because... we've been without power for three days now.  Once I can find things again, I will add the recipe to this post!

Hope everyone is well and happily stamping!

Hugs,
Sheree

Beautiful cards, Sheree. I hope your power is back on & you are finally getting warmed up! We hit 81 degrees here yesterday & 79 today. Both days were records! You need to move to Iowa!!

Wow! Still no power - awful! Mine went out around 8:30 am Monday and returned at 9:30 pm. That was bad enough but three days is way too much!!!!

Lovely cards anyway, my dear. Glad you at least have power at the shop. If you want a shower or to do some laundry just stop by and we will have coffee too!
