DCBD Layout Challenge #119

Wow! another week has flown by! But that just means another fantastic challenge from the Divas! This week we were given a sketch (which you can see at the Diva's blog - see link on left) and we needed to use a Sale-a-bration set. Wow, what a fun challenge. I used some bright pretty colors to reflect the sunshine we are finally getting here. This card uses yo-yo yellow, orchid opulence, rose red and brilliant blue. I love the bright and cheery look of this card. I have been working really hard at doing more with the inside of my cards to make them a pretty as the outside.
Now it's your turn. Head to your stamps and paper and create something. Then download it to the Diva site. I can't wait to see what you come up with!
Have fun!

Wow! What a day!

Have you ever had one of those days when you meet yourself going out the door as your coming in, and everything you do seems to go wrong? Well, that pretty much sums up my day.
But, on to better things. Here is my card for todays Diva Coffee Break Design!



I had a lot of fun with this. A lady at my workshop wanted to keep the "extra" from the top notes die to use in her scrapbook. Well this got me to thinking about a picture card, and here is the result. I just need to make one more to send them out to my two friends. I hope they like them, and I hope you do too. Be sure to check out the other divas! There is so much inspiration out there, and PLEASE play along with us!

Diva Coffee Break Design Team Challenge #118

Hi all! This week the challenge is to use SU fabulous Big Shot to create. This was such a great challenge! Unfortunately, I came down with strep throat and then a stomach bug so my card won't be posted until this evening. However, don't hesitate to hop on over to http://www.divacoffeebreakdesigns.blogspot.com/ and check out the other divas work. Also, be sure to play along with us and post your photo of your design on the website. Looking forward to seeing what you have done!
See you this evening!

DCBD Challenge

Hello all! How are you? Stamping right along I hope.
Wednesday is Challenge Day over at Diva's Coffee Break Designs http://www.divacoffeebreakdesigns.blogspot.com ! Be sure to stop by and check out the other divas creations for the week. You can even link your creation and share it with the world. It would be so cool to see some of "my" stampers there! So here is my card for the week.
This card was a tough one to get out. I did another card first, but that one didn't turn out so well. I used the Inspried by Nature set, this set is dormant but still beautiful and I really need some flowers and sunshine with all this cold! I used whisper white, kiwi kiss and the Bella Rose DSP. I colored the flowers with Summer Sun, Old Olive and More Mustars Stamp and Write Markers. I also use kiwi kiss to stamp the sentiment.
I hope to see your creation soon.

DCBD Color Challenge

This is my first DCBC Color Challenge as a Diva! I am so excited. Our challenge was to use Green Galore, Tempting Turqoise, Basic Gray, and Whisper White. Well, I am longing for the warmer weather so this color combo was just what I needed!

This card uses the Bugs and Kisses set that is now dormant, but it's still available for purchase. I just love this set with all these bright colors. This one is going to my friend, Patty who just loves this set.





Ahhh, Dreams du Jour... Let's see my dream for the day would be warm weather. I think winter has worn out its welcome.



This is a card that my dear daughter did using the Bugs and Kisses set. She wanted to do the color challenge with me. I think she is going to be quite the stamper in the future. She is 12 right now and loves to stamp and scrapbook. She is at that age where taking risks is easy for her.
Now it's your turn. Try out this gorgeous color combination, guarnteed to warm you up! Send me a link to your card so I can check them all out. Don't forget to check out all the other Divas at Diva's Coffee Break Design Team.
Creatively Yours!

More Cards

I thought I would share a few more beautiful cards from my uplines New Catalog Open House. I was in awe of all the creativity that was in one room.
Enjoy!

What a Day!

Today was one of those days that leaves you breathless...
First, I had my first downline group meeting. We decorated notebooks so we can take notes, discussed what we wanted in our meetings, made a cute picture frame, and ate some yummy paczkis...
My next adventure was buying a new washing machine. My old one bit the dust and with 6 of us in the house, it was very important we not go too long without a washer. So we headed out, in a snow storm, to pick one up.
We got back home, hooked the baby up and realized it needs a special kind of laundry soap, so back into the blizzard for laundry soap...sigh.
But the BEST news of all today is.... I am a new Diva over at Diva's Coffee Break Designs. I am so excited and nervous. I am on a design team and with some very creative ladies. I will have to stay on my A game to keep up. I look forward to designing with these ladies and bringing you new inspiration.
