Color Challenge - Baby

I had a co-worker having a baby boy and the company pool needed a card to sign.  I had real fun figuring out the right size I wanted for the baby carriage.  There is a contest at CR84FN Color Challenge #32.



So here is the card I put together and it fit will with this color challenge. 

This is all the work I can post for now.  I hope to have something more tomorrow.  

CAS - Paper Piecing

I haven't posted in quite awhile.  I've been busy with family, work and quilts.  We had a number of weddings over the last two weeks and I produced four very similar cards. 

I was suprised at how easy this was to put together.  My son decided it needed the stickels.  I am entering this simple card in to craft your passion challenges #63 paper piecing. 



Pay It Forward

This post was lost when Blogger went down and I really wanted to be a part of this.  So, I'm re-posting.  If I get ten people that sign up, that's even better.

 

Deborah over at Scrapping Mamma posted this wonderful "Pay It Forward" post on her blog I picked it up from Amy at Love to CropI think it's a WONDERFUL idea and I couldn't wait to participate and pass it on!!  :)  As of May 11, the spots were filling up quickly.

"Pay It Forward" is the idea of blessing someone with a random act of kindness without expecting anything in return. It’s passing on a kindness, hoping that your recipients will do the same, and forming a never-ending chain of goodwill. But it isn’t only kindness, it is also a means to connect and share instead of just keeping it to ourselves.

"I promise to send an original creation to the (1st) 5 people who leave a comment here. They must, in turn, post this on there blog, and send something they make to the 1st 5 people who comment on their status."

Here's what you need to do:
1. Leave a comment on this post. I will send a handmade gift to the first 5 people who comment.
2. Create a post on your blog offering the same.
3. Send a handmade item to your first 5 people who comment.
4. It must be sent to your 5 people sometime in 2011.
Please do not sign up unless you are fully committed to making your 5 items!

**If you are one of the first 5 people to leave a comment on this post, PLEASE email me your mailing address (tk_themom_smith at msn dot com)...  It will also be helpful if you put "PAY IT FORWARD" in the subject line.  Thanks so much!!  I'm excited to Pay It Forward!! :)

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!!
