Color Throwdown #366- All is Calm....

Good Morning and Happy Hump Day!! It's time for the next set of colors for the Color Throwdown challenge. This week Joan picked the colors....

Isn't that quil gorgeous!! This week we're working with rust, aqua, and gray. 

I've been loving all the non-traditional color Christmas cards out in blog land so I decided I'd try it myself.....

Love this new set by PTI. I didn't do it justice though- this card just didn't turn out like I envisioned in my head. Going to have to try it again soon. It's hard to tell in the picture but, the aqua trees and mountain tops have a little glitter too.

We're thrilled to have Michele Boyer from  Paper Cuts   - our October guest designer!!

Peace to You- Viva la Verve!!

Hey- Good Eve'!! I had a chance to make this card last evening (spent the WE with the flu bug... no fun!) for the Viva la Verve sketch week 4 using the colors from ColorQ. 

 Sorry still use Ott Lights and sometimes it just doesn't work well!! (especially with white- or maybe I just need to invest/work out a new system) The images are all from Verve's Peaceful Medallions- when I saw this sketch I though they would be perfect!!

And the colors from ColorQ

Good Day- Happy Sunday!! Today I have a fun little tag for the Simon Says Stamp Wednesday challenge to "Wrap it Up"

I knew I needed this set/dies as soon as I saw them!! I am a beach loving girl!! Maybe someday I'll live at the beach- in my dreams :)

This set is perfect for fun tags on christmas packages!!

too cute to spook... SFYTT!

Hey... Happy Saturday!!

Are you thinking... Halloween.. we are at my house!! Snacks...they may be gone by the time Halloween is here ;)  Fun to make treats and today I was baking with a 3 year old... it was a sprinkle kind of day... lots of sprinkles on cookies and lots of sprinkles on the floor ;)  Purple icing, pink icing, blue icing.....There was a lot of washing -- bare feet and floor!! When Dad saw the mess, yes, it was a mess.... I just told him we were doing an art project :)

Anywho... here's a little card using some Reverse Confetti and the SFYTT sketch..

This RC set and confetti cuts... Too Cute To Spook is adorable!! I stamped the adorable kittie and broom onto cardstock and die cut with the confetti cuts. The kittie was colored with copics an popped up on the RC circles/scallops confetti cuts.

Thanks for stopping by!! Love when you do and appreciate all the kind words!!

Color Throwdown #365- Thanks a Bunch!!

Happy Happy Wednesday!! We're halfway through the week, yeah!! It's time for the new colors and Broni picked them this week!!

They're bright and bold so I made a card to match...

The background was created by die cutting MFT's Brick Wall cover up and I used it as a stencil with black Wendy Vecchi modeling paste. For the flowers I used my Zig Clean Color brush markers to create two backgrounds on watercolor paper. Then I stamped Altenew's  Persian Motifs flowers with versamark and heat embossed with white. They were die cut with the matching dies. The sentiment is from Altenew's Label Love.  Last..... I added a little glitter all over with a glue pen.... those shoes are shimmering in that inspiration pic :)
