Purple a color I never really use!

It is time for a new challenge and one I was dreading.

Colour Create

DEEP PURPLE, BRIGHT GREEN, and CREAM

WITH BOWS

Of course I was so worried about purple that I forgot to add the bows!



I made a real simple card to share today. I used some MME papers, some lace and ribbon, a Sparkle n Sprinkle stamp Swirly Thank You and gold detail embossing powder

New Card and my workspace

For products used on my cards

Hey everyone. Hope everyone is having a great week.
SORRY FOR MY DELAY IN GETTING THIS UP.
I cannot wait until Friday. Yesterday I did tons of moving craft stuff downstairs lol here is a shot of my little space lol. YES a MESS. Well I will hopefully have everything put together before the weekend is overwith and I try not to kill myself getting it done.

Yeah well I am moving out of this little corner to my fabulous old formal dining room. So I have a few bookshelves to get, put everything up in its place and you will see everything is going to be nice and neat and in its place!

So today I have two new challenges for you


ABC

 L is for Lavender and Lace

We have two great sponsors this challenge

The Pretty Little Ribbon Shop

and

LOTV


Here is my new cutie from LOTV called a Special Gift. I also used some papers from MME, distress ink (Dusty Concord), a Magnolia and MFT dies, some pencils, and some copics! It is really hard to see my lace as I put the flowers on top of it.



If you get a chance stop by ABC and see what the other designers made.


second challenge of the day

Colour Create 

here is your photo inspiration for this newest challenge
Pink, Blue, Sage, and white/cream

plus ripped or torn edges!



Here is my newest Magnolia image from the Prince and Princess 2012 collection.

It is hard to see on her the edges are distressed not really torn or ripped. I have not done ripped paper in forever! I will have to give it a whirl back to some cards!

ABC 


K is for Kraft

So for this challenge I used a sweet image from Sugar Nellie. I really wanted something soft and fun. I think I might have gone a little overboard with the yellow. I used paper from the new MME 2012 winter release.

Handmade Paper Charms with Distressing


For products used on my cards

SHOP HERE

So today I have some bad but good news. For those of you who have been following my crazy life. I am making some important choices and alterations in my life. So this will be my last post with the Southern Girls. They are quite a bunch of wonderful women. I really love having friends all over the world as we all live such different lives. I really love all the advice I get for my crazy two year old and I just love knowing women that love doing the same thing I do.

They will be having a Design Team Call next month!!! The term is 6 months so get ready they have tons of fun sponsors and challenges ahead!

So here is my last post for the 



our theme this week is 

"So Distressing"

The sponsors for this challenge are

So for my card I used a Kenny K image (Super Mom). I swear that is me (I just don't wear an apron, and I don't wear high heels anymore either). Having a child has definitely changed my life in a complete 180 so I love this image. I wanted to brighten it up as Spring is fast approaching. I used a new pad from Crate  Paper and some flowers from a Prima tin bundled by a pink flower brad. 



I colored the image with copics and used some ribbon from Really Reasonable Ribbon. I used a $1 sentiment stamp from Michael's dollar bin and hand cut it out to look like a banner. I also used liquid pearls to add a pearl to her earring.... Pearls are the next best thing to diamonds! I really hope you like the card and remember you have two weeks to play!

The second challenge of the day would be 



Our colors this challenge are by Sabrina

lilac, blue, kraft, white, plus handmade paper charms

Extra Hearts


Well today is my first time writing up a post and picking a colour scheme for everyone to play along with over at


Colour Create

So for this challenge I thought "let's get ahead for Valentines Day" to myself and thought there might be a few several out there with that idea, just like me.

So here is a photo for inspiration 


All  you chocolate lovers out there... this one is for you.

We want to see your 

Whites or CreamsLight Browns, and Dark Browns

and for extra fun you have the option to add

Extra Hearts

I used and Edwin from the newest Magnolia release. Crazy because it seems like a new set will be coming out soon....very soon in fact I think it will be summer images and then next will be fall images at the end of the year! I wish I was part of Magnolia somehow so I could see things before they come out!

Anyway I used some white detail embossing powder from Sparkle N Sprinkle (they are having a sketch challenge that just started), some copic markers, my new sewing machine, viva decor pen, distress inks, and a white gel pen! You can buy a lot of these items over at ALL THAT SCRAPS!!! They are having some really big sales to make room for some new CHA items get excited!

Colour Create  is having a new challenge with the color scheme of

Pink, green, and neutral with the option of handmade flowers

Our sponsor for this challenge is




I used a new image just released not too long ago. I totally love her. She was really fun to color. I think I want to do one in white with some pink wings or red with sparkly fluff on the wings... Hmmm I should have added that to this card.  I followed along with the The Sweet Stop Sketch for this card. I really thought I needed to keep it CAS for all the cards you all have to look at today :)
Now for the handmade flowers... errr rolling flowers is not my forte and lol I need a day with a whole lot of them punched out so I can practice. 






If you get a chance to stop by and see what the team has created we have a lot of variety for you to choose from for some inspiration. Hope you can play along.

Our next challenge for today is


 a little WHITE on WHITE challenge

with THREE sponsors for this challenge 









For this challenge I used a Meljen image that was free... they have freebies so go grab some!
I used plain white cardstock and embossed it, threw on some white ribbon, and some white sticker letters that I had laying around in a box. 

Many think white on white is hard... I definitely don't feel comfortable doing it but come try it out with us and check out what the rest of the team created.



Lastly 

Also Dutch Dare is having a sketch challenge stop by and play
