Color Challenge Just For You!


   choc. chip         regal rose         baja breeze             pear pizzazz

This past weekend was so much fun for me. I accompanied two of my good friends to a scrapbooking event in Lincoln, NE. The event sponsored the Make-a-Wish Foundation and was a huge success.

While we were there (and in between our laughing fits), the three of us issued challenges to each other. Talk about leaving your comfort zone. We all have different colors/sketch styles we are drawn to, so it was neat to stretch myself a little bit. :D

One of the challenges I issued was a color challenge. The colors I chose were:
Pear Pizzazz, Chocolate Chip, Baja Breeze and Regal Rose. So what do you say? Are you up for a challenge? If you are, be sure to leave me a link to your card in the comment sections. I would love to see what you come up with!

As always, I will post the details of the card below.

Because of Him,


Card Recipe:
Paper: Crumb Cake, Pear Pizzazz, Chocolate Chip, Baja Breeze, Regal Rose and Very Vanilla
Ink: Chocolate Chip, Baja Breeze
Stamps: Afterthoughts, Flight of the Butterfly and Punch Potpourri
Tools: Mat Pack, Piercer, Eyelet Border Punch, Dimensionals, Sponge for edging, Butterfly Punch

Because I Care



I enjoyed making this card so much, but I must admit that this card is completely cased.  I have no idea where it came from, but if you recognize it as yours I would love to give you credit.  Just leave me a note in the comment section.

I think the "Tempting Turquoise" and "Basic Black" inks make this so striking, not to mention the detail of the stamp itself.

If you are interested in getting this stamp set called "Because I Care" let me tell you how you can get it for FREE!  Yes, I said FREE!  You see, this stamp is a hostess level one set.  All you have to do get this stamp set is book a workshop with me.  If your workshop generates $150 in sales (which is generally no problem at all) then you get your choice of any level one stamp set and $15 in Stampin' Up! money to spend.  Of course more options and more money are available if your workshop exceeds $150.  :D  Please contact me if you would like more details.

Another option to make this card, is to come to card club.  This will be one of four cards that we will make on Monday, October 25, 2010.  The cost of the card class is free, however, each member must place a $25 order for product each month (must total $25 before S/H & tax).  The time obligation to be in card club is determined by how many members are in club.  For example, if there are 10 members in club then you are a member for 10 months.  In return, each participant will take a turn at being hostess and get a free level one stamp set (like the Because I Care set) and money to spend on your favorite Stampin' Up! product.    Let me know if you are interested.

Here is a photo of what the stamp set looks like and I will post the card details below.
