Color Throwdown 126 & Paperworks Co #66


Are you ready?  T.G.I.F.!!!!!  I am extra-excited this Friday because I don't have to go anywhere or do anything while the kids are at school - normally I have to go *somewhere* or do *something* on my day off but...not today.  :)  I took the boys to school, came home and talked to my mom for a bit and then got down to business.  I made a card for one of my DTs and then decided to make a "for fun" card. 

When I saw this week's Color Throwdown combination and read what paper inspired it (Marjolaine by Basic Grey), I knew I HAD to use it sometime this week:
I wanted a nice, clean and simple sketch to go with this wonderful color combo and found a perfect one over at the Paperworks Co. blog:


Stamps: Psalm 46:10 Plain Jane (Verve)  Ink: Early Espresso, Old Olive  Paper: Marjolaine (Basic Grey), Early Espresso, Old Olive  Accessories: Marina Mist satin ribbon, MS border punch, Nesties, paper piercer, sponge dauber

What are you doing this afternoon?  I think I might try to get one more card done - or maybe I'll do some baking...the snow is starting to fall again.  *sigh*  Thanks for taking a peek today - enjoy your weekend!
