Welcome Spring!

Welcome Spring!

I made this card for the Get Your Diva On March Challenge (3/14/11) and Mojo Monday 182.

GYDOMar142011 celebrates spring by challenging us to use an "au naturale" palette of white, ivory, gray, black or brown along with a splash of color.

This is the inspiration I used for my own color palette. I noticed this past weekend how the orange-yellow signs really stood out with the grass that is starting to turn green--surrounded by the brown, dead grass from the winter. I was thinking then that I would use this palette for a card. Then this challenge was issued and it was a done deal! I took this snapshot to recapture the color idea I experienced while driving.



I am using Mojo Monday 182 for my sketch. I used designer paper from October Afternoon's Fly A Kite line. I also used Suede card stock from SU! and vanilla from PaperTrey Ink. The ribbon and brad are SU!

This is the inside of the card. Enjoy!

I made this card for my sweet nephew who has entered a new phase of his life. He recently went into the Teen Challenge/Life Challenge program and will be away from home for about 2 years. He loves it and is doing beautifully. He's never been happier in his life and has a wonderful testimony. I'm sending him this card to keep him encouraged. :)

You Suck

I made this card for a challenge issued by StampInsanity Stamps. The challenge was to make an "unconventional" Valentine's Day card and I thought this was pretty unconventional!

This is a birthday card for my special friend, Eve. I'm hoping she doesn't find this blog before she gets the card! The image is from The Greeting Farm. I guess I'm going to have to get out my photo editing and lighting stuff out again so my pictures will be better.... SIGH. If Charlie Sheen saw this, he'd say I'm definitely NOT winning.

Hi everyone! My friend Alison sent me this wonderful Bombshell image in an exchange we had in January. I was really challenged to do something out of my element and this is what I came up with. I actually like the results and had a lot of fun with it!
