Pink, Brown, and Using Old Stash

The color challenges and using up old stash was really fun.  I have a lot of stuff put aside because it takes a little more imagination to use.  So I started with two color challenges that both wanted Pink and Brown.  Just-Hanna-Stamps and Anythingchallenge.  Then Eatsleepstamp gave a wonderful sketch to use.  When looking through all my brown paper I realized that this card was perfect for the 365 Cards #52. 

I am also putting this in for the Anything Goes and DT call at audsentimentschallengeblog

Have a Happy Easter!!

Clean, Simple and Monochromatic

WOW, I think that I'm getting better at laying out what I want to build in the morning after making lunches for the day and then cutting, scoring, gluing and adding embellishments after dinner while watching TV.  The guys are grateful that I'm not agonizing over every aspect of each project I build.  I think they just want their living room back.

Sentiment says Congratulations. 

I had to take a quick picture with my phone, becuase I used it right after I built it for an employee that was leaving for another job.

I really fell in love with the card sketch from 365 Cards day #48.  I know that I will be using it multiple times for many occasions.  It is such a Clean and Simple card I think it worked well for Claudia and Company challenge #80.  Then there was the Cr84fn color challenge #24 with this palette.


I fell in love with these colors.  They are so close that it worked well as a monochromatic scheme as well. So I used it for the There She Goes Clear Stamps challenge #103 and the Simply Scrapping CAS challenge.

So off for the night to looking at the list of other great challenges.  Thanks for stopping by.

Quilt Insperation

I saw this challenge at  Papertrey Paper Dolls and just couldn't pass it up.  I was suppose to concentrate on the colors and I kept going back to the quilt blocks.  I pushed it aside and started working on a sketch challenge from Simply Scrapping.  It was a very basic card and I realized that the colors from the quilt would work.  

Well, It's time to put the computer away for the night.

Color Challenge and Pattern Paper

Wow, I could get use to this.  I finished two cards today.  One before I left for work and the other when I got home.  The first one started out with the color challenge from Simply scrapping using pink, green and white.  The second thing was My Time Made Easy pattern #5 Challenge.  The last consideration was Stampin Design Team #106, use a square, oval and circle.  I also entered it into Mel & Jens Designs #54.

I was surfing all day looking for a stamp that said Egg-tra Special, but no luck.  Anyone know where I can get one, please let me know. 

Something Quick for a few challenges

TAX Season is officially over. OH Yea!! this is me doing a jig with arms in the air.  I worked all weekend and 14 hours today just so I was done tonight and could come home and create something.  I must of still had money on the brain because I couldn't get past the need to build a card for the Play Date Cafe #77 challenge to use green, white and tan.  It's getting close to Easter and I need to get a few done in a hurry.  So here's a quick and easy no brainer card.

I'm going to enter this in a few other challenges.
