Many Hands...

Hi there! Here's a card I created for the most recent CR84FN Color Challenge!

Isn't this color combo super summery and fun?!?!

On Saturday we're having some neighbors over for dinner, and then we're all heading down to town to hear Zen Mustache play! So...I'm supposed to be cleaning today...but instead (as you see) I'm procrastinating! HA! Oh well...

How about you??? Have any FUN plans for the weekend?

Just For You

Hey there! I just LOVE this GORGEOUS color combo for the most recent CR84FN Color Challenge:

Here's my creation:

My sweet friend, Rosemarie, has a birthday coming up at the end of this week, so I made this card especially for her!!! I stamped the images onto patterned paper (although it's hard to see in the photo), and then paper pieced the flowers and scallops around the top of the jar. All of the patterned papers are from the new "Everyday Moments" collection by Teresa Collins----absolutely BEAUTIFUL papers!!

Hope you're having a FABULOUS week!

Thanks for stopping by!

Hello! For today's card I used this DELICATE and PRETTY color combo from the CR84FN23 Challenge:

AND...this FANTASTIC sketch from Card Patterns Challenge #110:

Here's what I came up with:

I used Tea For Two from Papertrey Ink and some Anna Griffin patterned paper that I've had in my stash for YEARS (literally)! I created the tea bag tag by stamping "For You" (from Friendship Jar Fillers by PTI) onto a scrap of cardstock, inking the edges, and attaching it to a piece of cream embroidery floss. Then, when I paper pieced the tea pot, I tucked one end of the floss behind the patterned paper piece.

A dear friend of mine requested an assortment of cards to give as a gift to one of her friends. This is one of the cards for that set. I hope she likes it.

Thanks for stopping by today!

On a personal note: Last week my sister-in-law, her husband and our 3 nephews who live in Indiana spent their Spring Break with us! We had a TON of FUN----despite a few bumps in the road (one lost video camera, one dislocated and broken wrist, one cracked windshield, and one minor case of acute mountain sickness)! I think they're hooked on the mountains now, though, and are already talking about "next time!" HA! Here are a couple of photos from when Tony and I took the boys skiing/snowboarding at Copper Mountain:

Have a GREAT weekend!
