Don't Worry

the funk is over, at least I think it is. I no longer feel like it should be Sunday, and I am stamping, so it must be okay, right? Right!! Anyway, this is my card for the Great Swaps Girls challenge that was posted this past week by Monique. I am still trying to figure out what to do for the challenge posted two weeks ago(Survivor Style), but this came pretty easy. Cameo Coral has been making appearances on my cards a lot lately, which is good thing since I am still using the same package I bought two years ago!!LOL!! Monique challenged us to make a card using Cameo Coral, Certainly Celery and Kraft. I started with a Kraft base(4x8 folded) and layered it with the other colors. My images are from the SU set Embrace Life and are stamped on Whisper White with Black Stazon. I then colored them with my SU markers. I initially intended to do two large eyelets with ribbon going through it, but couldn't get any of my ribbon to look right, so I added another big eyelet and some rhinestone brads to make it sparkle(see the saying). I am almost caught up now, I even got to get on SCS today and post some comments, but I hate to see how far behind in my Google reader!!YIKES!!!

ink- Black Stazon
tools-SU markers, large eyelets, rhinestone brads, white taffeta
Here is the card I made for the second challenge posted at the Paper Pretties release party. It was to use Dark Brown, Light Blue and Celery. I chose to use this cute puppy from the Rainy Day Friend set. I used my markers to color him in and cut him out using my Cuttlebug and Nestibilites. This card is 4x4 with a Chocolate Chip base then layered with Bashful Blue and Certainly celery. I pierced around the edges and added three different ribbons. That's all for me for now!! Thanks for stopping by, and I hope you are all having a safe and happy weekend!!

    I just LOVE that long floral card!!! That colour combo is a good one as well - going to have to try it myself.

    Love the saying on the dog card as well. Had to giggle as I used to go out and jump in puddles with my kids when it was raining or whenever we could find some after the rain. Once we got so carried away that the water was going over top of their boots and I learned that it creates quite the suction!! Had to reeeeally pull hard to get them off with a huge sucking sound occurring as I pulled. Life is to be lived and enjoyed and jumping in puddles are a great way to do it :)

    I love the tall card! It's so elegant. And the puppy card is adorable, too. I could definitely see my dog doing this . . .

    Hey Jessie! Hope you are enjoying your holiday weekend!
    Both cards are fabulous. Your first one is so pretty and the layout is wonderful. I love Cameo Coral but don't use it often. Think I've had the same pack for a long time too ;)
    The Paper Pretties card is adorable!
