My card for the Play Date Cafe Challenge #90

I'm playing along again with The Play Date Cafe #90.  I love these colors...This week's suggested colors are:


Eggplant...Fuschia...Orangesicle




Here's my take on it.  I used my silhouette to create the fuschia scrolling image and stamped my thank you's.  I realized I don't have very much fuschia (lots of pink, but not much fuschia)  in my stash of leftovers.  I love to use up my scraps for cards and tags!

I love to wander thru everyones beautiful creations and being new to challenges (and cards :) I enjoy seeing how different everyone's style is even with the same colors!  It's great!  Thanks to all those who share their cards!  It's exactly what I need to get my juices flowing again! 

It's hard to see, but the dark ribbon is very eggplant-y!  It's a shimmery, felty rick-rack...so much fun!

Thanks for looking!!!

parker turns 4!

so this picture is about 2 1/2 months behind, but this is Parker's school picture which just happened to fall on her Birthday this year!  It turned out so good, I thought I would share.

my first challenge!

So I've decided to finally enter a challenge. (The Play Date Cafe #88)  I've never really thought about entering, but a friend of mine encouraged all of her blog readers to enter if they don't already and I thought...sure, why not?!  :)  so, here's my first entry and may I just say that these colors were a real challenge for me.  I plan on sending this out to my good friend Shauna who fits this saying perfectly.

(I used the Silhouette to cut the shapes and font [sun_C02843_1, 5_clouds_C00679_20509, hello_sunshine_C00593_18816.  Cardstock is Bazill basic and color mates: glitter is Doodlebug (sun) and stickles for the clouds and "Sunshine": the title words were sprayed with sunshine glimmer mist [my new fave])
Here's The Play Date's color pick for the week.  If you haven't checked out the blog, hop over there and pick up some inspiration to get your card-making mojo flowin'!
