My first card today is serving two purposes. In addition to spotlighting today's MFP set, Cracked Hello, it is also my card for this week's CCEE challenge. Brenda O'Rear is the CCEE hostess for October, and this is her last week serving in that capacity. Her challenge actually was the reason for my theme of "tags" for this month's blog hop. She wanted us to use a tag on our card. If you'd like to play along with the CCEE team, check out our blog and link your card using Mr. Linky at the end of the post.
I think blue and brown make such a nice color combo.
Please note that the cracked background will NOT fit a 4" x 5 1/4" piece of cardstock. The image measures 3 7/8" x 4 1/2". I cut the stamped cardstock in half, glued it on a 4 x 5 1/4" piece of brown cardstock and covered the opening with the horizontal panel.
My second card is pretty simple. I did add a couple of bling butterflies on the center panel to jazz it up a little bit.

Beautiful cards, Lois. Good job on my tag card challenge. I'm loving that cracked background.
Two very pretty cards Lois!! I love the bright and cheery colors. I need to see something bright as it is snowing outside as I comment!
Hugs
Pretty, pretty! I have to make a bookmark!
Lois--2 more great cards! I especially like the tag card! TFS
A lovely tag, Lois, and indeed blue and brown do look great together. It looks like a wonderful and versatile background stamp, too! I've just done exactly some of that "stretching" with an embossed panel today.
Super PRETTY!~
Both cards are wonderful! Great use of the images of this set!

I love these butterflies and how you used the background with the tag. I love the colors you used in the bottom card, so bright and cheerful.
Oh, Lois, what a beautiful tag card - I love the blue against the brown! Your second card is so happy with the bright colored butterflies!

Great cards, especially the 1st one-love the colors. Thanks for sharing
It's funny you had to tell us the stamp wouldn't fit and how you made it look like it would. I totally understand. Great cards and fun butterflies.
So pretty, I love the colours you used! :)
The crackle bg is so versatile. Thanks for the tip on the size for the cards. That helps a bunch.
Love this stamp set!! Very pretty cards!
