Celebrate this day

See that pretty flower? I made it!I found this amazing flower tutorial on Joanne L's blog , and I wanted to try it right away. (I also fell in love with her blog, her cards are beautiful)
I sat down and made 3 flowers, they were so fun to make that I could have made 20 had I the time. I did find a little trick that made them easier for me, I sprayed each layer of the flower individually before I put the flower together on the brad. That made it easier because I did't have dry spots to keep spraying  and I didn't over wet the rest of the flower while spraying the dry spots. Your layers might dry a little while you're folding and scrunching, but re-wetting them is super fast and just needs a spray or two with your mini mister.

Anyway, who knew I would be so long winded today?

Sooo  remember how I made this card for the ColorQ challenge but then I found out that the challenge was over? Well this week I'm ahead of the game. I have my card for the ColorQ done. HA! Okay, its just a small victory for me. It so happens that their colors this week, and the inspiration picture had me so inspired I couldn't wait. I love this color combo. I used some Papertrey Ink Berry Sorbet paper, and its the first time that I use this color, but I LOVE it. A lot. I'm doing this again. (I always say that but I mean it!) 

I love that fabric so much1
I found some Basic Grey Nook and Pantry paper that had just the right colors in it, and with the flower I was ready to go.
I bet you recognize this layout, its kind of like the "Sunshine in my soul" card  I posted a couple days ago. Its the same layout from Wee Memories. Love that sketch, its so flexible and easy to work with!

Thanks

Hi there, so I've been enjoying a week of challenges again. Someone first told me, when I had entered my very first challenge, that they are addicting. They were soo right. 

The color combination for this card is straight from the ColourQ.

 I wouldn't have thought to use those colors together without their help.  I had a hard time getting the colors to look right in the photos for some reason... the frame is more purpleish....OOps! I just noticed that this particular ColorQ challenge ended already! Oh well, it was a fun color combo, and I enjoyed it. 

I entered this card in Waltzingmouse Sketch Challenge. I love anything Waltzingmouse. Really, I do.

I made that flower myself. I was so excited that it actually worked out! I used PTI bloom builders dies. I'm going to do it again real soon.

Just us Girls' challenge this week is to make handmade flowers....perfect! Go check out their entries, there are some AMAZING flowers in there, and some tutorials too.  I can't wait to try some of them out!

Hey There!

I made this card for a couple of challenges. The color inspiration was from ColourQ challenge #68

The sketch is from Mojo Monday's  sketch challenge. 

 I love how bright and cheerful this card is. We've had nothing but gray skies and snow...yuk!
