Another Challenge with the Girls

Well, trouble can ensue when Cindy, Leslie and I start chatting...LOL. A couple nights ago, we were all chatting and decided to do some challenges together, and lastnight was the same scenerio. We chose the Color Challenge at Just Add Ink which was to use Rich Razzleberry, Old Olive, Whisper White, and Crumb Cake.I just ADORE this color combo, though the Crumb Cake was a bit hard to work in there, but I managed it! The Sketch Challenge we decided on is the one at 4 Crafty Chicks. Simple with ALOT of possibilities!
We have another we all decided on this morning, so I guess I better get to work on that one! Thanks for stopping by~

Color Q and Friends

I hope everyone had a WONDERFUL St. Patrick's Day! I got a little boo-boo at work, so I was home with my foot elevated, but all is well. Just no celebrating for me...oh well!
This card is one made for a "group" challenge with a couple friends. Cindy , Leslie and I were all chatting the other night, and decided we would all do the Color Q challenge. This week the challenge is to use Daffodil Delight, Kiwi Kiss, Old Olive, Early Expresso, and white. ( I didn't have Early Expresso, so I used Chocolate Chip) I used Stampin' Up's Pocket Sillouettes, and some retired SU DP's.
Thanks so much for stopping by! Have a FABBY Friday! See you soon~

Glittery Spring

Today I did a little playing with Glitter....I am in a Glitter Swap, and I think this fits the bill! My friend, Cindy, sent me this set - Fresh Cuts by Stampin' Up, and I hadn't used it on a card yet, so I thought it would work for this little project.
I used the Sketch from Fussy and Fancy , and flipped it on it's side so the image would work.

There are a few other Challenges I will enter this card into:
Craft Your Passion - Anything Goes
Die Cut Dreams - Spring Garden Scene
Flutterby Wednesday - Inspiration
Stampin' B's - BLING


This next card I made just because I like the
sketch...LOL! It is the Challenge at Stamping 411. The Inspiration cards are just adorable, so I had to try it. The little cups from the Stampin' Up set called Morning Cup. I LOVE the sentiment as it is MY take on coffee! " Caffeine isn't a drug, it's a vitamin" AMEN!
Thanks so much for stopping by today. We had a 72 degree, sunny afternoon, and I pray that Mother Nature stays in a good mood!
Have a Blessed Sunday...see you again, soon!

There are many more, but I think this will suffice! Thanks so much for stopping by! Have a wonderful Friday~ See you soon~

Blue Christmas in March

I vowed to myself that this year I would make at least ONE Christmas card per week in 2011. I have FAILED! So I am gonna again, try to live up to that wonderful idea I had, and go forth...LOL!

Here are the Challenges that inspired this card:
Bah Humbug - Embossing
Winter Wonderland - Snowflakes
Crafty Hazel's - Embossing
Die Cut Dreams Christmas - Inspired by "Blue Christmas"

Some FABBY challenges~ Thanks so much for stopping by! Have a wonderful Wednesday, and I hope to be back soon with something for St. Patrick's Day!

Going to be in a Blog Hop next month with my friend, Cindy, so am looking forward to that! Thanks so much for stopping by, and I will see you soon!
