color challenge no.21

well it's been quite some time, huh!? hope everyone had a very special holiday season and is getting back into the swing of things. i know i am.

i stayed up way too late last night to make a card for dawn's challenge this week. it's been on my to-do list for several days but time is getting away from me. other things keep popping up lately and i haven't had time to do a whole lot of scrapping.

can i just say how much i love dawn's challenges? she seems like the sweetest gal. her colors this week are chocolate, light yellow, cream and light teal. hope you like my card! (ps we had to buy a new computer over the holidays - ug i know right...both my desktop and michael's laptop went kaput at the same time - so! this is the first time i've used this version of Paint so i hope my picture cropping isnt' too crazy! haha!)

color challenge no.20

hiya!

this week i remembered to check the deadline for dawn's raspberry suite color challenge. last week i missed it by a couple of days! haha...so goes life. the challenge colors this time are soooo cute and cozy and i just loved working on this one. i decided to make a cute little tag this time, as i am getting quite the collection of cards.

but if you've got time, check out the card drives that jennifer mcquire (jennifermcquire has been promoting...it makes you feel so good to create something cute to send to a special little child. i sent some around halloween time, one for a girl named kate & one for a little boy named eric. she's added a lot more kids this time around so go make some cards!!!

do you have your christmas shopping completed yet? i sure do not! i have barely started...i've just been busy with stuff around the house. and both the laptop and desktop computers died this weekend...so we had to go buy a new one over the weekend. talk about an unexpected expense...especially around the holidays!

hope your week is fantastic!

cute new owl

morning!

my birthday was a couple of weeks ago and i told my mom all that i wanted was this cute little owl die-cut. of course, she sent that one thing along with a package of other fun scrapbooking stuff, which i love love love! i made a couple of cards to share using my cute new owl. the only hard thing is gluing down the eyes and beak because the pieces are soooo tiny.

it's just starting to get cold where i live and i'm already ready for springtime! once christmas is over, just bring back that warm summer sun, mother nature. i can skip all of the cold stuff!

a new challenge

hello all...it's sure been awhile...i've been busy at home & have hardly had time for scrapping! plus i started reading twilight (i succumbed finally! eeek it's so good!) my mr. is finishing up the living room remodel and then i decided to start painting the sunroom. you can see what it is looking like in the background of my pic. it was a knotty wood room, and i decided it needed to be brightened up! but it's sure been a lot of work...and it's not even done yet!

anyhow! i've been noticing challenges some of you have been doing for embellish magazine and decided to join in this week...especially because owls are my favorite thing in the whole world. if i could, i'd decorate my whole house in owls...but that might not go over well with the mr. so i will just have to settle with a couple here and there + having fun with them on my cards and scrapbooking! so this is what i came up with for embellish magazine.com's color challenge with owls!

something cute!

hello! can you believe it's thursday already? where has the week gone?!

i made this cute little owl plaque last weekend. i got out my little purple sewing machine and sewed down the middle of that ribbon. ha! i was not sure how it would turn out, but i think it works. i just love love love it! i'm liking pink a lot lately...which is a big change for me! but it's so girlie and cute! i put this little decoration up on my etsy site with free shipping!

and i cannot wait to see this movie! eeekk!
