Color Dare #55

Hello everyone! Time for another Color Dare. The colors this week were very refreshing I thought: Kraft, Crushed Curry, Old Olive, and Brilliant Blue. I used Inspired by Nature, and the new butterfly embosslit from the Occasions Mini. A little linen thread provided the head, body, and antennea (sp?).

Once I had this card designed for the CD challenge, I thought it would be a perfect card for club as well, so this was one that we made on Monday.- How do you think I did with interpreting our inspiration photo?

Will You Be Mine??

Well, I don't usually post projects before the event takes place that we're making them at, but because our "Sweets for Your Sweet" classes were postponed, I didn't want to wait until after the classes were actually held because by then you wouldn't have any time before Valentine's Day to be inspired! I encourage you to get creative this week and show your sweetie you think they're the best!

I tried to keep this a little more red and brown dominant as opposed to lots of different pinks since it is for a male. Also threw in the Sanded background for good measure (males seem to like that one). Anyway, the rest of the cards consists of the Sending Love DSP, So Many Sayings, Love You Much, Triple Heart Punch, Ticket Corner Punch, Word Window Punch, Scallop Edge Punch and Crystal Effects. Hope you like it!

Sweets for Your Sweet

This event was been postponed due to snow - we will meet instead this coming Thursday night (the 11th) and Saturday morning (the 13th). There are still a few spaces open, so if you were interested in coming but couldn't make the original dates, here is your second chance! You must RSVP by Tuesday. We'd love to have you join us!

*Note: if you had already signed up for the original dates, you do need to re-RSVP letting me know which session you plan to attend. Thank you!

I Love Snowstorms!

While everybody else is so over the snow around here, I'm lovin' being home and having a chance to scrap a little. Still not where I'd like to be, and I just had 150 prints arrive via Snapfish - better get into turbo speed :-) So here is a spread using an old Simply Scrappin' Kit that I don't remember the name of. Still doing CA Reunion pics - only a few more pages to go. If you're on the eastern seaboard enjoy the Winter Wonderland!

Last Day to RSVP

Thought I'd come back to share the inspiration piece that we were given to interpret with you (in case you were wondering!), and remind you that TODAY is the last day to register for the Sweets for Your Sweet Valentine Event. We've had a few cancellations, and currently have two openings on Saturday, and lots of space Friday.- Also, in case we have to cancel because of the weather, our snow dates are: Thursday, Feb.11th at 6:30, and Saturday the 13th at 10am. It's seeming like a safe bet to say that we will have to postpone to these dates (will make an official call Friday morning), so if those dates next week suit your schedule better, please feel free to sign up! We always have a great time stamping together. :-)

Color Dare #54

This week we had blues and greens again, BUT we also had an inspiration piece which sent me in a much more feminine direction! Our colors this time were: Kiwi Kiss, Pacific Point, Baja Breeze, and Basic Grey. I had to sub a few of those colors since I was out of them: Olive=Kiwi and Bashful=Baja. Still the same general idea though.- I started by stamping Bella Toile in black, then coloring in a portion of it with the aforementioned colors. I cut out a square from it, and ran it through the Big Shot using the Beautiful Wings embosslit (a must have from the Occasions Mini)! If you click on the picture for a close up, you'll see the lovely texture that is on the butterflies. The bottom half is the Paisley background, the new border, Word Window, and Modern Label punches, a few brads, and words from Teeny Weeny Wishes finish it off. I hope you like this little taste of spring!

Medallion

While planning projects for our upcoming club meeting, I realized that I had not yet posted this card from last month's meeting! I just love the Medallion background stamp. It is pretty much a card in itself. Here I paired it with a very strange color combo that I saw in our Stampin' Success mag. It's one of those combos that you know you don't hate when you see it, but you have to think about it awhile for your brain to process the colors together and make a determination on your true feelings! I think my stamp clubbers felt the same. :-) The colors are: Bermuda Bay, Crushed Curry, Very Vanilla, and Soft Suede. What do you think of the combo?

Happy February! Don't forget: tomorrow is the last day to sign up for the Sweets for Your Sweet event!
