Color Inspiration #50

Color Inspiration Card

I went along with the 5 basic colors(brown, red, yellow, turquoise, white) of the color inspiration, but then I also added Glorious Green and Pumpkin Pie. It may be hard to tell from this picture that this is a 5 x 7 card. I was originally thinking this would be a great Mother's Day card, however my only "Happy Mother's Day" quote stamp was too large for the little tag I wanted to use hanging from the basket. 

Another thing you can not see in this photo is that I used a texture plate on the white background paper. Maybe if you click on the photo to enlarge the image you will be able to see the detail a little better. (NOPE!....I just tried that and you can't see it....drats!) Okay, so trust me...it really makes the card. :0)

Mojo Monday

Wow....I carved out some time to do the Mojo Monday sketch! I didn't follow it to the "T", but pretty much stuck with the basics of it.

Stamp Set:: Thoughts & Prayers #113252

Paper & Ink colors:: So Saffron, Old Olive, Cameo Coral 

Just a little thanks

Another card with Walk in the Park DSP....Basic Gray, Cameo Coral, Baja Breeze, So Saffron....These colors are so great together! 

Stamp Set:: Matchbox Messages #113800

Big Shot Die:: Matchbox Bigz XL #114890

I haven't had the chance to do much with the Matchbox sets yet...stayed tuned for that! :0) 

My newest ribbon passion....Ribbon Originals Valet #114318. I used the Baja Breeze ribbon for this card....there are two other ribbons in the set! I love this Baja Breeze satin ribbon...so pretty and shiny! 

3 x 6 Walk in the Park

I love how crisp these colors look together! 

As usual I am in a mad dash to get this posted, and don't have time to give all of the details just yet....having a three year old doesn't always allow for completing a job in a timely fashion. :0) 

Whatever happened to the days when she took a three hour nap? Those were good times...LOL!

3 x 3 Walk in the Park

Sometimes you need a quick little tag or card to go on something.....I need to make a bunch more of these in different colors. The 3 x 3 cards will fit in the Mini Square envelopes. 

Aha!....and no stamping here.....that makes it really quick to make!

You're a friend...

Stamp Set:: Great Friend #113792, and Simply Said #115066 (brown flowers)

This card did not turn out how I had envisioned it. I'm not very excited about this one, but I haven't made a post in a few days so I put it on here. 

Hopefully tomorrow I'll have time to stamp...the nice weather has been keeping me outside. 

Hope the weather is nice where you're at!

Birthday card from Lindsi

Look at this cute card my friend Lindsi sent me.....Love the colors!

Thanks Lindsi!

Happy Easter

Whew! I just made it!.....I haven't had time to sit down and come up with an Easter card and I had almost given up on the idea...But then!....my daughter went down for a nap....thank goodness for small favors! Since I'm short on time I won't post the ITEMS USED. If you want that info leave me a comment and I'll make sure to post it another time. If I don't get any comments I'll assume everyone can figure out what was used. Sorry to be in such a rush...I'm just happy I was able to come up with something before Easter. Oh, I will say this, Stamp Set used was A Good Egg #114974 (SU of course) :0)

Thanks for stopping by and Happy Easter Everyone!

My own Color Inspiration....

Okay, well here's something that I think is kind of funny....I kept wondering (wonder, wonder, wonder) why I was so attracted to the Color Inspiration #43.....well duh! If you take a trip in to one of our bathrooms you will find that I have already been inspired by these colors before.

Anyways, I'm probably the only one that will find this funny, but had to share. :0)

Could I "B" seeing spots?

I just love spots! (polka dots) I have really been digging this color combo too. The colors are from the Kwernerdesign.com Color Inspiration that I posted a few days ago. Love that girl!....she inspired me to make 2 different birthday cards.

As you can see this card has very little stamping and A LOT of punching. Really, can a person exist without punches?.....I think not!

I also did some sponging. I don't sponge too often, and when I do I think, Oh!... this is so cool, I should do it more!


Items used::
Stamp set:: Just B #115000 (This is a GREAT set if you need a birthday stamp set, and it comes with other phrases besides birthday. I'll try to make a separate post so you can see what I mean)

Cardstock & Inks:: Whisper White(cs) and the same colors I used on the "you take the cake" card inspired by kwernerdesign.com

Embellishments:: 5/16" neutrals brads, On Board Timeless Type #112083 (for the letter B), sponges and daubers

To color the "B" I used Ruby Red Craft Ink and pressed the chip board on to the pad until it was completely covered, then used a Ruby Red marker to color in the edges that I couldn't get with the pad.

Color Inspiration #47

This card lacks something, but after spending way too much time trying to figure out what that was I walked away and said, good enough! At least I stuck to the color combo :0)

Stamp sets:: Just Buzzin' By #113228, Simply Said #115066
