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!

Color Challenge No.19

well hello there...hope everyone had a lovely thanksgiving. mine was good! the mr. and i stayed home this year and i cooked thanksgiving dinner for us, plus his 2nd cousin and his son ended up joining us. everything went well...& the turkey was delicious. only mishap was the dinner rolls got a little too done but they were still edible, so no complaints. i only started to panic at the very end when everything was getting done at the same time...i was trying to stir the gravy and mash the potatoes at one time, while the corn casserole timer was buzzing and i needed to put in the buns in the oven all at once!

anyhow, i made this card for dawn's raspberry suite color challenge no. 19. i just clicked over to her blog only to find out that this challenge ended 2 days ago. nothing wrong with being a little late, right? but alas, i thought i would share this card anyhow.

have a great evening!

p.s. i'm putting up the christmas tree tomorrow! can't wait!

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!

Raspberry Suite Color Challenge

i made this sweet little thank you card last night to play along with dawn's challenge this week. i gathered my supplies from my little craft shop upstairs last night and had to bring them downstairs to glue everything together. it is soooo hot up there! i do not understand why none of the air-conditioning reaches up there? am i missing something? the people we bought this house from said the loft was the "bedroom" for all of their kids as they were growing up...those poor kids! guess they never had to exercise...as you break a sweat just being up there for 4seconds!

what do you think?
