Papertrey Fun!

today's challenge with nichole of papertrey ink is to use one of the color combos that each designer has picked out. i decided to go with heather's color choice, but after i finished my card and went back to the website, it seems like my colors might be a little brighter than what they are suppose to be. but that is ok. it's a cute card anyhow. the little birdie and also the bee are both stamps from The Paper Company Studio and the sentiment is Papertrey Ink. i am really lovin' how it turned out! and isn't this bee just the sweetest thing you've ever seen?!

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!

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!

Raspberry Suite Color Challenge No. 17

Morning! Here is my card for Color Challenge No. 17 from Dawn (dawnmcvey.typepad.com). fyi - i can't make my links work correctly so that is why i have been typing them out...for some reason it always tries to point it at a blogger address and screws it all up. ggrr to that!

isn't this a sweet little owl stamp? it is from the same set as the squirrel i used on the last challenge's card. i sewed the embroidery floss so it looked like a little ribbon tied around his neck with a bow. anyhow, here are the colors for this challenge. gotta love it when "kraft" is thrown in there...that is what i usually use as my card base!

hope everyone has a great day!

SPCC #10

I thought I'd play along this week with a new challenge that I've never done before. This one is from spcolorcombos.blogspot.com I had this little pumpkin that my mom cut out for me last year or so...and when i saw the colors i had to dig for it...but surprisingly i found it and i think it was perfect for this color combo!

you can't tell from the photos, but the yellowish orange zig-zag ribbon is velour and sooo soft. i just love it! what do you think?

Raspberry Suite Color Challenge #13

just a quick little post this morning...here is my card for dawn mcvey's raspberry suite color challenge #13. this is the 2nd card i've made that is a 5.5 x 5.5 inch square...it's a little larger than what i normally work with but i think it turned out cute! its nice because you have a little more room to work with larger embellishments, like this butterfly! i created the butterfly outline in adobe illustrator, printed it out and made a chipboard pattern so now i can make butterflies all day long if i want! hope you weekend is fabulous!
