Kristina's 43rd Color Challenge

Have you ever had one of those moments of unexpected inspiration? That's what happened today when I revisited Ms. Werner's site. She has a new Color Challenge that I loved the colors (Chocolate Chip, Ruby Red, Pumpkin Pie, Brocade Blue and Old Olive), but I wasn't sure what I wanted to do with it.

I have another project that's taken my focus, so I decided to not participate this time. Suddenly, this card popped into my head. Isn't she lovely. She's from Stampin' Up's Build-a Fairytale die cut set.

I've been playing with castles and put her aside, but today she was pulled out. :)

Kristina's 38th Color Challenge

I love Red and Orange together! Imagine my delight when I checked out Kristina's New Color Challenge - Ruby Red and Pumpkin Pie. She had to throw a wrench in my joy by adding Pretty in Pink. I love pink as well, but I had a DIFFICULT time with this one. I didn't like the baby card as much, so I made another one. I have another two card bases made, but that pink wouldn't work with me. Oh well, that's why it's a Challenge.

Here are the cards. Enjoy!

Supplies used:
Stamps: Bundled in Love
Paper: Ruby Red, Pumpkin Pie and Whisper White
Ink: Basic Black
Misc: Scallop Punch, A Perfect Day Rub-ons, Merry and Bright Simply Scrappin'

Misc: A Perfect Day Rub-ons, Pumpkin Pie Striped Ribbon, Flower Fusion and Fire Rhinestone Brads

I was hiding out in my closet stamping so I wouldn't disturb Ms. A, but somehow she sensed I was stamping. She wanted to make an "I Love You" card for her friends.

Another Kristina Card

So I'm trying out some ideas for Christmas cards. KWerner had another great inspiration for colors that I had to try it out. What do you think?

Kristina's 25th Color Challenge

I've been following this AMAZING lady for some time. I love her creativity and personality. She's been posting Color Challenges for stampers. She reached her 25th challenge yesterday. CONGRATULATION'S Kristina.

Her challenge had perfect timing. I have a baby shower and a birthday coming up soon. I also wanted to try out an idea for our Christmas cards. Here are my interpretations:






























Her color combination was Ballet Blue, Certainly Celery, Ruby Red and So Saffron. I fudged a little with the Christmas card. I used Green Galore. The stamps I used were Season of Joy (Christmas card), Cuddles and Tickles and A is for Adorable (Baby card) and Birthday Whimsy (B-day card).

Thank You P

I needed to make a thank you card for a friend that has made my life a bit easier. I was trying to figure out a color combination when I checked out one of my favorite stamping blogs, KWerner. She had new color challenge up for the week. It was not my normal color combination, but I liked the way the card turned out.Ingredients: Kiwi Kiss Textured Cardstock, Chocolate Chip Cardstock, Very Vanilla Cardstock, SU Friendship Blooms, Pumpkin Pie Stamp Pad, VersaMark Stamp Pad, Love and Happiness Rub-on, Pumpkin Pie Stripped Ribbon, Chocolate Chip Ribbon, Coluzzle, and Paper Piercer.

You Make Me Happy

This morning, I asked Ms. A if she wanted to go to the park or craft. She said craft, so I grabbed my stamping supplies and we made cards.
I was so excited to see Kristina's Color Challenge this week.

After being separated from the bulk of my stamps and supplies for six months, I was able to have all my toys. :) Here's what I came up with:

Here are Ms. A 's and my card. Every time I pulled out a new item, she had to add it. She especially like the sparkling embossing powder. :)

Stamps: Boho Backgrounds, Friendship Blooms
