Hi Everyone, Happy short work week. I hope you all are looking forward to a short work week. I am hoping I don't get called in to sub.
This week Samantha picked some interesting colors for our challenge. Here are the colors.
I really thought a lot about what I wanted to do with these colors. I discussed my ideas with my husband and he made a suggestion. Here is how his ideas turn out. I couldn't get him to make it.
I loved his idea to make a yellow bird like a finch. I used the Tim Holtz wood grain EF and SU bird punches. The sentiment is from SP and Company.
This was my idea.
I was thinking robin and sun beams since the days are going to start getting longer on Wednesday. I love Samantha's sentiment, "Cheer Up Buttercup." It is from her set called, Ultimate Sentiments I Stamp Set. This set is one of those go to, must has sets.
My hubby will be taking "his" card to his mother tomorrow. She is doing much better but the pain in her back isn't getting better. She needs to get up and walk but it hurts. They won't let her out of the nursing home until she can get up by herself. This is going to take some time. She is 90 and you just don't do anything too fast at 90.
Today I showed you two cards, same theme and colors, but very different. I really like the way both cards turned out. I hope you will join us at SPCC this week. Be sure to check in here to see what the other DT's have done and the prize you could win.
Thanks for stopping,
Happy Cold and Windy Monday Everyone,
We had some weekend here in Wisconsin. Saturday started with 38 degrees and rain. It ended with a ton of snow and 30 mile an hour winds bringing temps in the single digits.
Here is my poor hubby with the snow blower Sunday afternoon.
It is hard to say how much we got because of the drifts. You can see here the snow is up to his knee.
This has not been a good weekend besides the weather my mother in law fell and is in the hospital. She is 90 and did not break anything but her salt sodium levels were low so they wanted to keep her. She complained that her back hurt so they put her on pain meds. When we called this morning we were told they gave her too much and she was sleeping it off. Well not in those words. It is so hard because we couldn't get out. The roads are very bad and the hospital is over an hour away. Please keep her in your prayers.
Now on to the color challenge. This week the colors are:
Just look at this great prize you could win.
This week, the prize is from the SP and Company store. Samantha is giving away a 6X6 sampler of the brand new Be Mine collection from Echo Park. This collection is available for pre-order already in the store, but it is shipping starting this week!! The winner this week will be one of the FIRST to get their hands on this gorgeous collection. Here is a look at the full collection:
I love these colors and this card was very easy to make. The image is SP & Company Cutest Gingerbread Man and Sweet Sunday Sketch Challenge #96
I used SU glitter brads and some stickles. The eyes are brads with viva decore dots. The sentiment is from the same SP & Company stamp set.
I hope you will join us this week. I look forward to seeing how you use these colors.
Have a great Monday!

Hoo-ray it is Saturday, and that means it is time for another Stamp, Scrap and Doodle Challenge. Our challenge this week is monochromatic and use your favorite color. Using one color is kinda ticky and I think you have to use a white, black or something to help. My favorite color is red and I love SU Cherry Cobbler. It is a nice dark rich red. I also love cardnials. Now you know two of my favorite things.
I made some small 3 by 3 thank you cards. I think they will be great to stick in with a thank you gift.
The base card is a 6 X 3 piece of Cherry Cobbler with a 2.75 X 2.75 square of SU DP called Deck the Halls. The cardnial was made with the SU bird punch. I used Soft Sede to ink the edges and a black copic marker to draw the face. The eye is a black rhinestone from Kaiser Craft. I punched three wings. One is used to creates the crown on his head. I can't take credit for this bird. I have see it all over the web. There are so many birds you can make with this punch. It really is a fun punch to have.
The sentiment is from SP & Company. It fits perfect in the second smallest die from the Lables Four set of Nestabilities. I am very happy with these little cards. It always help to create using the things we love.
Please join us at SSDS this week. I look forward to seeing your favorite color and what you create.
Have a wonderful Saturday and thanks for stopping,
