COLOR CHALLENGE - AUTUMN BOUQUET

Hello Friends! Have you ever been in a place where you just don't know where to begin? I have quite the list of things to do and between being ill, normal busy-ness of life and the quick jaunts of being in and out of my craft room have left it quite a mess!!! I started by cleaning off a bit of a flat surface on my desk adn thought I would participate in yesterdays Splitcoast Stampers Color Challenge. The colors were Blush, Rose and Lime... Those colors do not yell FALL to me, but I went with them anyways. :) I need a few cards that just say Thinking of You and decided to create this....


My friend Shelly, sent me a card and I liked the lay out and thought I would use it for a card! I created this 5" x 7" card using the following things...

Stamps: Harvest Bouquet, Woven Plaid, Open Plaid Backgrounds

Paper: Blushing Bride, Espresso, Rose, Lime, Vanilla

Accessories: Spellbinders, Grand Calibur, Dimensionals, Cord, K&C Gems, Martha Stewart Punch, Copics, Stardust Stickles,

Today, my girls and I are off to a Clay Class! It should be fun!  :)


Thanks for stopping by! Have a great day!

On a personal note, I am deeply saddened today. I found out that my older brother passed away this week. While I did not know him very well, I have only met him a handful of times.  My heart aches knowing that I never will know him even though there was a desire to know him better. My heart also aches and prays for my family members who knew him well and loved him.


In memory of my brother, Troy James Wilkening. 10/25/1967 - 10/9/2011


                                                   

Hold on to your loved ones! Call them and tell them you love them! Thank yo for stopping by and taking a look! Have a blessed day!


Blessings,
