While my girls napped...

I got to play along with Kristina Werner's latest color challenge! That is always fun! Here is her inspirational piece for this week:



So, we were given Bravo Burgandy, Chocolate Chip, Pumpkin Pie, So Saffron, and Old Olive to work with.

This week I was able to make two cards!! Here is the first one:

I am patiently waiting for a new box of goodies this afternoon! I used to work as the shipping manager at a hotel so I know what the UPS truck sounds like. I've been hanging out outside with the girls and every time I here a truck like that I get excited! Sad isn't it! I finally just came inside... Lucky though because both of the girls napped today so it was almost like I had the house to myself for a little bit! Hee!

Thanks for checking out my cards! I am off to look at everyone else who posted on Kristina's challenge today!

Another Color Challenge!

Yes, I know... I'm addicted to color challenges! But, for me, it is great inspiration!! This post is for the challenge that I gave Nicole at the beginning of the month. I got my inspiration this month from one of Pottery Barn's Bath line:



Wild Wasabi, Bashful Blue, and Pumpkin Pie were the colors I challenged her with! I've always thought they were pretty together... Here is what I came up with:

My Scrapbook Page:



I have to thank Nicole for challenging me each month to do a page and a card. With out these challenges, I probably wouldn't scrapbook as much! Hee!

Here is my card:



Goodies for both:
All by Stampin' Up! unless otherwise noted.

Paper: Wild Wasabi, Whisper White card stock; Summer Fun Simply Scrappin' Kit
Other: Sticker embellishments from Summer Fun Simply Scrappin' Kit, Spiral Punch, dimensionals, American Crafts letter stickers, All Mixed Up Cricut Cartridge and Cricut Machine for title

I also used a sketch from Scrapbook Page Maps as inspiration for my scrapbook page. If you haven't checked out her book or her blog, Becky Fleck has some great sketches to try! They are my favorites and her design team rocks!

OK. Off to try my hand at Kristine's latest color challenge! Yes, I am definitely addicted to them!

Rusted Flower

I have been enjoying my new Fabulous Flowers set! Today I decided to use it to play along with Kristine Werner again...



She chose some great colors to challenge us with! I am drawn to these colors naturally. I can't wait for fall! Here is what I came up with:


Goodies:
Stamps: Fabulous Flowers set by Stampin' Up!
Ink: Real Rust, Close to Cocoa (inked edges) by Stampin' Up!
Paper: Real Rust, Certainly Celery, Whisper White, and Close to Cocoa card stock by Stampin' Up!
Other: small copper brads by Lasting Impressions; large copper brad by Karen Foster; swirl card stock sticker by Stampin' Up (part of the Summer Days Simply Scrappin' kit); ribbon, unknown (from Scrapdoodles!)

I cut out the layers of the flower out and crumpled them up to give it some texture. I used extra think pop dots to really make it stand out!

This week we celebrated my nephew Micah's 2nd birthday. His mama cut his hair. This is the after...



She didn't cut much off! I am glad! His curls are just too cute!

We are a Krispy Kreme family! Every birthday is celebrated with donuts! This is his cake:



Doesn't it make you want a donut! We got the originals fresh off the line, too so they were still warm! I love that!

Anyways, the week has flown by yet again! I am having my Collector's Club class tomorrow, as well as doing a little house hunting so wish me luck!!

Have a great weekend!
