13 challenges in one

Oh my goodness, I can't believe that I actually have done 13 challenges in one project!

First, here are the challenges:
Pile it on - non-stamped sentiment or title
Magnolia down under - about a boy
Incy Wincy - cats
Digital Tuesday - box or bag
Creative card crew - Geometric design
Inspirational - sketch
Copics color challenge - Y23, RV11, BV04
Creative Inspirations - Four different papers
Caardvarks - depth perception
Daring cardmakers - sizzling colors
Just Magnolia - paper piecing
Saturday challenge - in the jungle
One stop - sparkle

Why did I do this? Besides being a little odd I found this new challenge blog called Pile It On. The blog is all about multiple challenges. I thought, hmmm, how many can I do? Well, the answer is 13.

I found this cute little backpack pattern over at Split Coast Stampers, here is the link. It is so adorable that I wanted to give it a try. I did leave some things off but that is because I wouldn't of had room for my other goodies.

I just love this little backpack, I think it is so cute. There are so many nice gifts that could be given in this. It is very sturdy and went together well.

The little lion is a digi-stamp that I have but not sure where I got it. I colored him with Copics and glittered his mane. There is a small orange brad holding the flap closed.

I used circles and stripes in blue, yellow, orange and green with my cardstock focusing on those sizzling colors.
Mr. Edwin is shown here swing from a vine (or a rope) through the Jungle. I colored him with Copic colors Y08, YR07, Y06, B29, B32, R20, E000, E21, E33, E35 just to name a few. I still forget to keep track of which ones I use so that I can post them. The sketch for Inspirational is behind Edwin.Phew! That was a lot of work but I really did enjoy it.
