Wow! Amazing Challenges!!

Okay, there are so many amazing card/project challenges out there this week!! Thank you all for the inspiration!  Here's what I've completed so far:
This choo choo birthday card's inspiration came from Taylored Expressions' sketch of the week, a challenge to use the oldest thing in your craft stash (those scissors with the edges we have no use for anymore with all this new technology!), a challenge to use coloring/markers, and another challenge to add layers (is six enough?!).
This pretty butterfly pearl card's inspiration came from S2Gs Sketch Challenge, a beautiful color combo from Always Playing With Paper, and a challenge to use a butterfly in your project (and there's 10 in this one!).
For this on the move card, I was inspired by Skipping Stone's Design sketch, using holiday colors for a non-holiday card (totally Valentine's Day colors!), and also using Kraft in your project.
And this last flower birthday card was inspired from the sketch at Card Patterns, using a punch (all of the flowers!), and a beautiful color combo at Instyle Stamps and Cow Girls Sunday (Neapolitan Ice Cream!).
