grey & pink

I'm not usually a pink person (which most people know) but I have a new to me die set that suits pink really well. So using it for the latest Colour Hues challenge was no brainer. I found some scraps of pink paper that all went together so pretty happy with how this turned out.

Thanks to Carol for getting me out of my comfort zone by using pink.

Have a great weekend and thanks for stopping by,

I love the current Colour Hues challenge so much that I've made another one! I also haven't used this new Spellbinders die set very much so thought I would use it for this CAS card. Really quick and easy but I love how it turned out.

Happy February! I just got back from a crafty retreat with my friends - so nice to just chill and craft for a few days. Decided to play along with Color Hues again... I struggle with pink but thought I would give it a shot. Thanks to Tracey for challenging me! In love with these dies so decided to use them again. 

Edited to add (thanks Carol!) - also joining in for the Inkspirational Challenge (also red & pink).

Thanks so much for stopping by.

Take care,

red & kraft

Lucky me!  It's my turn to pick the topping at Seize the Birthday and no surprise, it incorporates red! Our topping is red & kraft. The other exciting part of today is we have a new design team member, Jenny Martin!  So excited to have her join us. Welcome Jenny!

Red is my favourite colour and red & kraft is one of my favourite colour combo.  I recently got these new dies and they suited the colour combo well. I inked up the 'behind' section so it would look a little darker.

Be sure to check out the blog for the rest of the radiant designs from the rest of the Design Team as well as our Surprise Party Guest Amanda.

Hope you have a terrific day.

Take care and thanks for stopping by,

a little note

It's a been a minute since I played along with the Color Hues Challenge but fall is definitely in the air and I'm feeling the rust and green colour combo. I got these Tim Holtz leaf dies recently and hadn't used them yet so thought it was a good opportunity. I smooshed a couple of Distress Oxides for the green (Mowed Lawn & Pine Needles) and swiped a regular Distress (Rusty Hinge) for the rust.

Really need to try to play along with this fun challenge more often.  The team always has such great creations.

Thanks for stopping by.  Always appreciate the comments.

Happy weekend friends! A friend of mine recently had surgery so thought I would use the latest combo from Color Hues to make a card for her. I used the very 'high tech' tool of toilet paper rolls to make the hearts. LOL! I have yet to figure out why I so often do colour challenges with pink when I don't even really like pink. 

Hope you have a great upcoming week!

Thanks for stopping by.

Colour Hues - Lilac & Mint

For some reason, I seem to gravitate towards colour challenges that will REALLY challenge me. This time it's lilac and mint from Colour Hues.  I don't have any trouble with the darker purples and greens but this pastel combo is challenging!  Used some Distress Oxides to make a smooshed watercolour background, and then stayed CAS with the rest ... hope you like it.

Thanks for stopping by and hope you have a great day.  I appreciate your comments.

red, white and ... purple

I am thrilled with JoAnn's Seize the Birthday challenge this week because it incorporates my favourite colour - RED! She has asked us to do red and white plus one other colour.  I would normally go easy & safe and pick kraft, maybe yellow or orange.  However, I decided to really challenge myself and go with purple. I love purple too but it's not the first colour I think of to go with red. Let me know your thoughts... had fun playing with my new-ish hot foiler (confess to going through more than a bit of red foil to get that sentiment right).

I'm hoping you can join us to play along. What amazing colour combo will you come up with? Be sure to check out all of the colourful creations from the rest of the team as well as Surprise Party Guest Stephanie (thanks for playing with us for the last couple of months!) and previous winner Claire.

Thanks for stopping by and have a terrific day.
