Beautiful Friend

Do you ever set out to do something..have it in your head what you want to do... feel excited...confident...ahead of the game...etc... and then several days later and several 'other' failed attempts (not planned) you find yourself back at the beginning...back to the card you started...only now..you're not ahead of the game anymore..you are going to be doing good to get it done in time.....  well.... that's my story.. all said and done (hopefully) this is my post for The Play Date Cafe (PDCC30 -pale yellow, light green and pink) color challenge and Stamp, Scrap and Doodle Saturdays Week 41Challenge (sketch)...

Mint Chocolate Frame

Challenging myself to do 'Anything But A Card' for SSDS Week 39 Challenge and Crafts and Me Challenge 4 and following Colour Challenge 41/Photo Inspiration (mint, chocolate, cream) for Incy Wincy , I altered this photo frame using some KandCo DP, flowers cut on GS cart and embossed w/CB Textile folder.... My Mother gave this glossy pine photo frame to me as it didn't match with her 'look' anymore...so I decided to change it up and gift it back to her... I'll be curious to see whether or not she realizes it's the same frame...and while it is a photo frame, I opted to put a mirror in the center instead..but when that gets old...change it out!

ColourQ Buddies Meet Get Sketchy

This week at Colour Q you are challenged to use these colors...but with a twist.

You must enter with a buddy. Well, that's easy, as my best friend, Kim E., from Kim's Kraft-e-Korner, is also my crafting buddy. We took on this challenge with an additional challenge...the sketch 36 at Get Sketchy.

It never ceases to amaze Kim and I how totally different our cards turn out to be. We had a lot of fun on this because we put a time limit on it, too...so these were kind of rush cards...

My card is layered with a turquoise/white polka dot...with a little curry on top of that and topped off with a sentiment out of Life's A Beach cart, couple of really big bling and some celery ribbon...

 Thanks for stopping by and as always, your comments are appreciated.
