FIVE is the #Cre8time Number... Anything But a Card Challenges Fifth Sunday Challenge March 2015

Good Morning Everyone! It's the last weekend in March... and also our first FIFTH SUNDAY of 2015. We hope you enjoyed getting to know Neva with her Spotlight + Mini Challenge last Sunday. If you missed it please CLICK HERE to jump over and be inspired by her Mini Book Mini Challenge and those who played along.

The moon and stars have aligned to give us an EXTRA Sunday this month which messes up our 3 +1 system of challenges. Today is another FIFTH SUNDAY! This is an oddity in the calendar that is happening several times in 2015 {March, May, August and November}... SO we have added this fun MINI-Challenge today here at Anything But a Card Challenges!!! Are you ready to play and have some fun??!

The Fifth Sunday Challenge... "USE FIVE"!! Use the number 5 or five items, five colors, five words... what ever FIVE represents to you. For those who want to go a little more literal - here's the definition, too! Loads of inspiration could be had over at Wikipedia's page for 5 (number).

* * * * * * * * * * * * 

five (faɪv)
n.

1. a cardinal number, four plus one.

2. a symbol for this number, as 5 or V.

3. a set of this many persons or things.

4. a five-dollar bill.

adj.

5. amounting to five in number.

Neva

Have fun in the miniature world! My contribution to the Challenge of 5's on this fifth Sunday in March is an Artist Trading Card for a Birthday Swap. It is decorated with 5 mini felt flowers to help celebrate a spring time birthday. Come check out my BLOG to see how I created these little beauties!

Margaret

My 5 is the five flowers I made for my scrapbook page.

Please visit my BLOG for more details.

Di

My layout features five photos, shaped using a self-designed template. To complete the page, I've heat embossed stamped leaves and added a frame and additional leaves with gold and black Sharpies. For more details please visit my BLOG.

Elaine

I've created a canvas – using modelling paste, Dylusion sprays, Luminarte primary elements and Inka Gold. Five birds, five tiny flowers and 5 larger flowers! Please visit my BLOG for more details!

Toni

Happy Springtime everyone! For our 5th Sunday in March challenge I have created a triangle fold box to hold a FIVE page mini album with photos from my vegetable garden. Hope you are inspired. Hope you stop by and visit my blog HERE to view more pictures of my project... Creatively yours, Toni

Lisette

I know I've done little houses before but when I realized that there were exactly 5 cute little houses on my fabulous new stamp it seemed rude not to use them. Find out the details by buzzing over to my BLOG.

Lynne

Today, I decided to create for the 5th Week Challenge a jointed paperdoll using 5 of a few things. Guess you will have to stop by my blog, Her Craftiness to see if you can find all of the items that I used 5 of each to create her. Granted, she's not a Betsy McCall but she sure was a lot of fun to create!!!!

Sheri

Here is my challenge for the 5th Sunday – an art journal spread. MY 5 in 5 are based on the journal by 5's that Sharon Green started on YouTube. Just not timed. :/  Please visit my BLOG for more details.

We hope our designers have you INSPIRED to take some time to be creative!! We can't wait to see your creations and we hope that you will join in and share them with us! Stop back next Sunday to for a brand new Challenge No. 46.

I'm participating in a Christmas tag swap and here are 5 of my Christmas tags. You know how you purchase Cricut Cartridges with the hopes and inspirations that it's a cartridge you can't live without - well, this is one of those cartridges. Come check out my blog at Her Craftiness and see how I made this and what I used.

Ruth

Five inspired me this time to create a set of dimensional ATCs. My magical "Five" ATC set contains exactly five ATCs of course. Jump over to my BLOG to discover all techniques that I used to create these ATCs.

Julie

My 5 Ginger Dolls were abandoned and bedraggled in a box I took a peak into, while searching for something else. I'm into recycling so I decided to give the dolls, from a Christmas long ago, a Magic makeover. Christmas is going to be a very different celebration this year and this hanging just might delight our young visitors. There's makeover details on my BLOG.

Heather

I like to make giving gifts of money fun when possible. I created these "lolly" flower package embellishments for my most recent opportunity to give a gift of cash (rather than a gift card). Since I used $5 bills for my flowers, I am using it as my "5s" challenge this month at Anything But A Card Challenges! Stop by my BLOG for instructions.

Di

My Five for November is a hanging showing five simple and quick (and some of my favourite) techniques to create your own original backgrounds. Pop on over to my BLOG to see what I used to create these.

Lisette

I decided to go for a 5 pointed star for this month's challenge and have made some hanging decorations. There are actually 5 in total so buzz over to my BLOG if you'd like to see the full set!

Toni

Hi there crafty peeps. 5 Easy Steps to complete these ornaments. Stop by my blog HERE for more pics and Snapguide tutorial on how I achieved this.

I've used 5 photos of one very fidgety (definitely had a disorder!!... maybe AD/HD???)) Tawny Frogmouth juvie... who'd thought they could be so expressive! Check out what went on behind the photos for the tag,  on my blog.

Lisette

Regular followers of my blog will know that I am loving making little houses right now, so it was a no brainer for this month's 5 challenge - five house in five different colours! Please visit my blog for more details!

It's a Birthday favor fit for a Princess.
She will be turning 5 and I've used the number 5
and 5 rhinestones to capture the full affect.
Please visit my BLOG for more details.

I used a fun picture from my recent trip to make this scrapbook page. Check out my blog for more details and to join my birthday giveaway!

I have 2 different '5's' here – paper, beads, stamping, glitter, chipboard being one group. The other is 5 silver nautilus shells holding the photo. The nautilus shell frame has been stamped using the Inkadinkadoo gears and cogs kit. Please visit my blog for more details!

Lisette

Aside from the little bee, what I love best about this little altered domino is that I've made it for me. "What's this got to do with 5", I hear you ask? You can probably guess – but if not... please visit my blog for more details and the answer!

Becky

This will be my last week, and last post for Anything But a Card Challenges ... somehow life is just too busy right now and I needed to step back and take a good look at what was important, and my 'real' life won out!  My wish for all of you is exactly what this art journal page says ...
