Wishing for Spring



No , not me...... I am quite happy that autumn is on its way!.... but they are "wishing for spring" in the U.S which is where "Miss Boo" who runs the clean and simple challenges on SCS comes from, not sure exactly where. But wherever,I guess they have all had their fill of the pretty white stuff over there! - though having never experienced living in it and just looking at it in pictures I think it would be wonderful!! So anyway, wishing for spring was the theme she set for this week's challenge- CAS # 54. and this is the card I have made.
Now I didn't have too many decisions to make for this card,considering I had my layout decided by Andrea's Simply Saturday Sketch (SS130210 ) and my colours decided by Leah's Colour Coach Challenge for February- Mellow moss/pretty in pink/So saffron/Perfect Plum.... so you would think I could have produced it very quickly but sadly I will never qualify for "Speedy stamper of the year" LOL!! Check out these great blogs if you would like to join in too!
Also I have to send a big thanks to Andrea for the pretty bling I have used here that she sent to me! It is from the wonderful range of bling and stamp sets available at "Annabelle Stamps" ..... Guess that will have to be the end of the whingeing about never getting any blog candy!!

OOOOPS!!!



Don't know why I was in the mood for such a bright card when I made this! But this is what I came up with for Andreas Simply Saturday sketch (SS060210) this week It wasn't until I was about to upload it to Mr Linky that I reread the fine print of her post- EeeeeeK! It was meant to be a MONOCHROMATIC colour scheme!! It's definitely not that!! Sorry Andrea- I will take more notice next time!!-Hope it was just a "guideline"!

Simply Saturday



Andrea is a busy lady! She not only is the "boss" of Annabelle Stamps (a great Aussie stamp collection and challenge site) but I just recently discovered that she also runs a challenge from her personal blog -Andrea's Stamping Moments called "Simply Saturday". Well you know me...I love clean and simple stamping the best....so I could not resist joining in....and such a pretty sketch too!
Unfortunately I needed to make another sympathy card this week so I pulled out my old fave Brocade Basics- such a peaceful and elegant image just right for a sympathy card IMO . I used Old Olive and Not Quite Navy for my colours and added a strip of kiwi kiss satin ribbon with a pretties half pearl to finish it off.
