Make A Wish





Good Morning.  Hope your week is going well.  Can you believe it is the end of August?  I was driving down my road the other day and notice the leaves have started changing!  I can't wait!!   I hope we have a long fall season.  This weekend I made my first Fall card! 

This week at Going Grey with Scrap-Creations we want you to make a card with the theme "Off the page".  As long as your project has something that is off the page you can play!!  I still am trying to use colors that are not my norm.  I love this color combo but had a really hard time taking a picture of it. I finally ventured outside so see if it would be washed out.  It is better than the inside one's but still does not show the real colors of the card.

Happy 1st Birthday!

Good Morning.  Hope you had a good weekend.  Mine was uneventful which was great.  The weather was hot, humid and rainy.  A perfect weekend to relax in the AC and make a card. 

 Lately I have been trying to change up some of the standard Pink, Blue and Purple colors that I have been using. I get into these ruts where I use the same colors and layouts all the time.   I found this DP and thought it would be perfect for this stamp and to mix things up.   I like the way it turned out.  It fits in perfect for this weeks challenge at Going Grey with Scrap-Creations.   We want you to make a card or project for a child.  So get out those cutesie stamps and play along!

Happy Birthday Nicole

Good Morning!  I hope you are having a good week.  I had last week off and had meetings Monday and spent Tuesday and Wednesday catching up so I am late in posting this week.  Any free time I found has been spent watching the Olympics.  It's funny how caught up in it I get.  I watch things that I would never stop and watch other times.  It is always exciting to see how talented these people are.
