Bugs for you!

It is time for another color challenge from Kristina Werner. She is so Fabulous for coming up with these color challenges. Thanks! When I saw these colors, I immediately thought little boy. These week the colors to use are Ballet Blue, Certainly Celery, Ruby Red and So Saffron. I used my Bugs and Wishes set for the layout. The background is stamped with the Polka Dot DG stamp. I'm sure that I'll be using this card as a birthday card for some little boy. Enjoy!

color challenge

You know it's Thursday when I get a color challenge uploaded! This is going to be a quickie. I need to get to sleep (as usual!!). When I was thinking of my design, this is not how the card looked but given the time factor, I'm going with it. I started the card today before I went to work but I didn't get my new stamps in the mail yet. So that's why it's after 11pm and I'm posting my card! I loved the colors this week. Another great reminder of fall. We had to work with Pumpkin Pie, Kiwi Kiss, Chocolate Chip and Very Vanilla. I used the Upsy Daisy set for this card. When I first saw this set I didn't really like it but I've seen so many great samples that I had to get it. Go figure! Here is my card. Enjoy and good night! (Hopefully my computer won't take an hour to upload!) Sorry for the fuzzy picture. It looked okay on the camera.

Is fall just around the corner?

You know what day it is, that means is time for Kristina's color challenge. Kristina picked some wonderful colors this week. We had to use Bravo Burgundy, Chocolate chip, Pumpkin Pie, So Saffron, Old Olive and either vanilla or white. I love this color combo. The flowers in the picture remind me of my wedding flowers! I absolutely love calla lillies. Fall is my favorite time of the year. I love cool nights and mild days. Living in Colorado, I get to see snow capped mountains too. Enough chatting already, here is my card.I used Burgundy CS for the base, Saffron DSP for the next layer that was stamped in Old Olive using the Baroque Motifs set, vanilla ribbon and the flowers are chocolate chip, old olive and pumpkin pie. I stamped the words in Burgundy craft ink. Enjoy.

color challenge #22

You know it's wednesday when it's color challenge time again! I had to take a quick sneak and look at the colors. I decided that I could get by with a little less sleep tonight! Since I didn't have any extra time last week, not that I have any free time this week, I thought I'd take a minute for myself and stamp a card! I had a hard time wrapping myself around these colors. I thought "what the heck, I'll give it a try!" We had to use regal rose, rose red, bravo burgundy, soft sky and whisper white. I love the fact that Kristina can always step out of the box! Enough blabbing, here is my card. Enjoy!

In the nick of time!

I almost forgot about the color challenge today. I had to pack up the china cabinet after playing softball tonight. Hopefully, I will have a beautiful living room/dining room after this weekend. My husband has done his part. I need to step up to the plate and get my tush in gear to make the curtains (or maybe pay someone to do it)! Anyway, back to the color challenge. I loved the colors in Kristina's inspiration but when push came to shove I had a difficult time. The colors were; black, pumpkin pie, rose red and green galore. At least I got to try out my new Sizzix Big Shot! I love it! The flowers and leaves were from the birds and blossoms die! I used the Baroque Basics for the background and I'm embossed with clear EP. I wasn't thrilled with the outcome at first but it is starting grow on me. Enjoy. Thanks for checking it out! I need to go to bed. I've got a long weekend with the kids in the mountains!
