PDCC #124

Just a quick hello! It has been a hectic week, but I always have time for The Play Date Cafe challenges! The team over there is so supportive and I love seeing how everyone interprets the weekly challenges. People's creativity absolutely amazes and inspires me!
This week, PDCC #124's colors are raspberry, harbor and honey mustard. They are such happy colors (thank you to the talented Ms. Jaclyn Miller!). I immediately turned to my DCWV's Mango Frost matstack for the latter of the two colors. I stacked these colors on this long card and rounded the corners.

I decided to give my Cricut the day off for a change. I decided to use my Twinery charcoal black twine to create a sentiment. This was the first time I've used the twine in this manner, and I doubt it will be the last! Thanks for checking it out!

Summer lovin'

This week's PDCC #123 was a doozy. You may remember these bright colors I blogged about earlier in the week. I wasn't so happy with how my braided card came together, so if first you don't succeed, try try again! (Oh, my mom would be so proud!)

These colors scream summer to me, and summer screams the beach, drinks and Kenny Chesney! So why not combined the best of both worlds! The unseasonably warm weather we have been having in PA has been leaving me thinking about summer plans. Hopefully by sending this card to one of my friends, it will be a hint that a beach trip is in our future! I can smell the sunscreen now....

"The sun and the sand and a drink in my hand......with no bottom!"

First challenge- ACCEPTED!

This weekend, my fabulous and very handy husband helped me install some additional storage in my craft room. After the screws were all screwed and the nails all nailed, I had to sit back and bask in my personal paradise. And I was inspired.In the many craft blogs I follow, I had heard of card challenges, but never participated in one. I cyberly stumbled upon The Play Date Cafe and instantly fell in love with the challenge PDCC #120.

I am a complete sucker for neutrals and muted colors, so when I read the rules were to use the colors above (baby blue, orangesicle and basil), I accepted the challenge and got to work. I used two of my favorite tools in my craft tool belt- my Cricut for the tree (used cart Straight from the Nest) and my cuttlebug embosser for the leaves and the bottom hill layer.
