I don't know about your but I always need ideas for new cards, so I thought I'd post a card challenge every Friday. This is the layout for the first week.   The blue layer is 2" x 5", the yellow is 3.5" x 2.25" and  the purple layer is 2.25" x 2. 25" Use whatever papers, colors, stamp sets or dies. The card just has to have these dimensions. The card base is our standard A2 size, 5.50 x 4.25. I also wanted to share my version of the Challenge Card.

Looking forward to seeing your Challenge Card ideas on my Facebook Group Page: Cottage Lane Stamper & Friends .

I've also sent out Thinking of You cards to people who are alone and shut in and a Get Well card to a friend from church who fell and injured herself. I also just remembered I need to make a card for my grandson, marking the 1st anniversary of his baptism. The other day I was looking for card ideas and clicked on this link, not even sure how I got there.  :-) But it was for a fun fold she called a Side Panel card.  It was in a 5" x 7" format.  Since all of my cards, typically are of the A2 size 4-1/4" x 5-1/2.  I de...
