Hello! This is a bit of a crazy week. As you all know, Izzy is only 2 1/2, so she is not in vacation bible school yet, but I was asked to help out so I am. It was really an unexpected call from my good friend Kim. She had to take over the front of the VBS and needed another singer/song leader. Luckily, I am able to flex my hours at work, so it all worked out. This is only my second day, but I loved all of the energy those wonderful kids have. I made this as a thank you for some of the people I have meet that have been such a blessing to me this week.
Needless to say I think my energy level might be a little down, so I am not sure how many cards I will get done this week. I couldn't miss Dawn's color combo for the week. It can be found
here.

Isn't that a fun one? Oh my gosh I just noticed as I am writing this that I did mess up and use Chocolate instead of black, nuts! That is what you get from working on too little sleep. I combined this with the
Viva La Verve week #3 sketch with a twist. The twist was to use a lot of white. I choose ivory, but that should be just fine.

Here is my take on the challenges.

It is really simple. I just fell into the anniversary gift set from PTI's first year again. Have you ever felt a stamp set was before it's time. I just couldn't get my head around this set when it frist came out. Now I am loving it. I think that I just wasn't ready or creative enough when it first came out, LOL!
I also finally figured out how to dry emboss with my nessties. I will definately be using this more! Oh and the senitment was a fun thing a saw a while back on one of the color challenges. I adore looking through all of the cards. There is just so much inspiration from everyone. It is always a treat. I have to wrap up and go sing now! I will work on making a real color combo card soon. So sorry about the chocolate/black mess up :(
It's a good life!

ReplyDeleteI know what you mean with the stamps being there before their time! :-)
I love how you did your sentiment as a frame around the card!
ReplyDeleteTerri, your card is beautiful !! I love the framing.
ReplyDeleteI'm impressed with your ability to create amid rearranging your schedule and doing VBS...I'm not always so flexible in the face of change.
ReplyDeleteI love the framing with the sentiment going around and applaud your changing of the colors. That's your brain's inner genious. ;-)
What a lovely fresh card! Fab layout and I love your dry embossing - it rocks! I tend to get obsessed with one stamp set for AGES then move on to another!
