DDIC 15

It is an ABSOLUTE MIRACLE that this card is up today... My computer has been fritzed out for several weeks and it is finally back to normal. I have missed so many challenges and I am so sorry to all who have wondered where I was. I promise you I have NOT fallen off the face of the earth :)

Without further delay... This week's Divine Divas Inspiration Challenge was a rough one for me since I haven't been stamping due to computer failures and I am also deathly afraid of the bright color families. I wanted to use the colors of the challenge piece but I had a dickens of a time working with them. I will try my best to get a better card this afternoon. Here is the inspiration piece for this week:


Here is my card for this challenge... Again I am sorry it isn't up to par.... I will work on this later...

Color Dare 38

This is my attempt at this week's color dare challenge. The colors were...

Crushed Curry
Mambo Melon
Taken W/ Teal
Basic Gray

I had been so busy lately that I have zero time to stamp. I am dealing with a massive flea infestation in my home, 2 sick kiddos and a sick hubby, my parents were in to visit last week and of course I had to get sick when they left, we had to get rid of our puppy, and I am knee deep in a bible study that is consuming my life right now ( it's a great thing!) Needless to say, I can't find time to sit and relax let alone stamp. I am trying to make my schedule calm down a bit, but I feel that until the twins start school, they need my attention more than my stamp room does. :( (Oh the responsibilities of a good parent)

I hope you like what I was able to make for today. I am not happy with this card at all, but only found a wee 30 minutes to sit and finish this. I wish I could find more energy to stay up later and stamp when the kids go to bed, but that seems to be my cleaning time now. Thank you all for stopping by and looking at my work. I really appreciate the love and support

Blessings,

This is a great inspiration piece. I loved the look of the 3x3 squares so that is the route I took when creating my card this week. I really thought of going more toward the browns and neutrals when I ran across some awesome retired DSP from Stampin' Up! and decided to use it. Here is my take on this week's inspiration piece.

Sketch Challenge 248

Here is a quick card I whipped up for today's challenge. I haven't had much time to play lately and I am really starting to miss my stamp room. I was hoping the twins would start school this year, but they are still on a waiting list. I had hoped to get some more free time to do the things I enjoy. As it stands now, I find whatever time I can when I am not running an errand here, or dropping a child there or running my home. So this morning I was able to find a nice quiet few moments all to myself and of course you know I sat down to stamp.

So here is my card for today's sketch...


I hope you will find time to let me know what you think. I absolutely love hearing your comments. Have a Blessed day!

Color Dare 36

Well this was an interesting week for the Color Dare. The colors truly scared me when I first put them together. Then I started brainstorming and realized they were great colors and would work perfectly together. So I sat down and go to work. I love these colors and I think you will too. Here is my card for this week's Color Dare

Colors:

Creamy Caramel
Bermuda Bay
Barely Banana


Make sure you check out what the rest of the Design team has done with these colors. You won't be disappointed by what you see. The team is amazing and always rocks out with the most wonderful of projects. We hope that you will join us and play along this week. We'd love to see what you come up with.

Blessings,

DDIC Do-Over :)

Here is a much better card to take from today's inspiration challenge. I think the first card was from sleep deprivation. I put the twins down for a nap and had a chance to play over. I really like how this card turned out. The cuttlebug seems to work nicely to show the delicate details and really show off the beauty of this cake.

I hope you like what I have done the second time around and I hope that you too will feel that I have improved upon my mistake. :) Check out the rest of the DT, they have all made such wonderful creations... You don't want to miss any of them.

Blessings,

This is the challenge piece for this week:


This is my card for this challenge:


I am not at all crazy about this card. I tried to go with the look of the flowers cut out... My thought looked so much better in my head. I plan to sit down and try to rework this card before the end of the day so please check back for a better take on this week's challenge piece

Make sure you check out what the rest of the DT has done for you. I am positive you won't be disappointed with what you see.

Color Dare 34

Here is my card for this week's Color Dare challenge. I really had a hard time with these colors. Blush Blossom, Certainly Celery, Chocolate Chip. Seems I would have had better luck if it were Pretty in Pink or Pink Pirouette.... But I guess that is why they call it a Color "Dare." I hope you will play along with us this week so that I can see what I could have done better with these 3 colors. :D

Check out what the rest of the Color Dare Team has done by going to the Color Dare website or clicking on each individual blog along the left sidebar of my blog. I am sure you will not be disappointed.

Your Red Because?

Ok so I absolutely love this card.. I made up the sketch by accident and had so much fun with the different DP's. Thank you so much for a WONDERFUL challenge... I am so glad that I was able to play along... Even if it is in the wee hours of Friday morning already... :)

Please let me know what you think... :)

Blessings

Happy Halloween

I haven't had any time to stamp lately and I have definitely been feeling the effects. I put the kids to bed a little early this evening so that I could adjourn to my stamp room and play. I decided to combine yesterday's color challenge with today's sketch challenge. I love Faith's cards and I can always CASE one of her cards so this sketch was easy for me. Not to mention that I love layers on my cards too. I had fun making this one...

The colors used here were Elegant Eggplant, Basic Black, Old Olive. To see the sketch for this week, you can go to the weekly challenges on SCS. I hope you like what I have done with this sketch and these colors. Please feel free to leave your comments so I know what you think.

Blessings,
