Look Out Birdie...he he he!

Well, I'm finally back to blogging again after taking a couple of days off.  No excuse really because I have plenty of swap cards to show!  But today I decided to get busy and do the Color Me Beautiful challenge again before the linky closed. :)  I also found a new sketch challenge on a blog called Stamping and Blogging Blog (Saturday Sketch Challenge).  You'll have to check it out.  I already follow Sandi's personal blog because I love her cards...and I always love to follow more challenge blogs to help with some inspiration along the way. :)  So...the colors were really a challenge for me this time (boy were they ever!) and it's another card that definitely is not my normal stamping style, but I think it turned out pretty cute (look out little birdie...you're about to get pelted with a snowball! lol)

Thanks for looking and have a great day!

Thinking of You

Well, today's card is definitely not my norm, but I really wanted to do the Color Me Beautiful challenge...and boy did it take a little thinking for this week's challenge!  I wanted to use all of the colors on my card so I looked for a design that I thought would help me out.  Mojo Monday fit the bill perfectly.  

Here are the colors for the Color Me Beautiful challenge...

and here is the Mojo Monday sketch...

 I really like the simplicity of my card.  Usually I'm all about sponging and using embossing folders to cover up empty space, but this time I just left it alone... 

Thanks for looking and have a great day!

It's Sunday and time for another Red Hot Stampers' sketch challenge.  This week I used the set Everything Eleanor and used colors from the color challenge blog Color Me Beautiful.  I wanted the card to be simple, yet elegant.  I just wish I could have caught the shimmer on the card, but it just wasn't cooperating this time! lol  Check out the other cards at The Red Hot Stampers here.

Colorful French Foliage

It's Sunday so that means it's time for another Red Hot Stampers sketch challenge. :)  I finally bought the set French Foliage, and as soon as I saw what our challenge was I had an idea going through my head about what I could do with that set...celebrating fall. :)  I definitely didn't use the colors that are normal for fall, but instead decided to use the colors from the Color Me Beautiful challenge.  I used my sponges to apply the color to the stamps to give the color a blended look.

Thanks for looking and have a great day!
